Last night I was interviewed by the team over at SFFM, and I had an absolute blast. Linday Buroker, one of the three hosts, is a long time idol of mine so it was surreal getting to talk to her on air. Here’s the link if you’d like to check it out, or you can…
Vampires Don’t Sparkle is up for pre-order on iTunes
This morning on my bus ride into San Francisco I passed the half way mark in the first draft of Vampires Don’t Sparkle. That’s always the most challenging part to write, and the second half I always breeze through. To celebrate my mini-milestone I’ve put the pre-order up on iTunes. The blurb is just a…
5,000 Words Per Hour is live on Amazon and iTunes
A couple months back I embarked on the rather ambitious plan to write a non-fiction book (my first), which would launch with a companion iPhone app. The amount of work that went into creating software that would perfectly dovetail with a book was challenging, but very rewarding. Today both are finally live! You can download…
The final cover for Vampires Don’t Sparkle

Vampires Don’t Sparkle cover art reveal
Nikolai has just submitted a draft for Deathless Book 3: Vampires Don’t Sparkle. What do you guys think?
Nikolai Ostertag: The Man Behind the Artwork
The Deathless series has done far better than I ever could have dreamed, to the tune of 10,000 books in the first seven months. That still makes me go =O There are a lot of reasons I feel the books are selling well, but I suspect the biggest is the covers. I get compliments on…
How Gamification Will Dramatically Increase Your Word Count.
Odds are good you use Facebook, Twitter or at the very least email, right? If so you’re familiar with the little red badges that signify notifications. If you’re like me your response is oooh, there’s something new to check! This happens most often on my smartphone, while standing in line at the grocery store, waiting…
