I will be with 100 other indie authors at the Fredericksburg Independent Book Festival on Saturday, October 3, in Fredericksburg, VA. If you're in or near Virginia, stop by.

This made me laugh.

Authors. When you go to events, what is the most effective method you’ve found to haul your books to sell? Locally, I’m just loading them into the giant black bins with yellow lids from Costco, and then hauling them in my car. But when you have an out-of-state or out-of-country event… how are you flying your super heavy and big loads of books? I don’t get it! Haha I see people flying all over the place to do author events to sell their books… are they seriously hauling humongous boxes full of hundreds of books to the airport and paying to check all of those??

I've been trying to get better at plotting and so I'm learning about different methods authors use to plot their stories before drafting. What is your favorite plotting method?

You cannot control the weather as an author. My book signing this weekend was accompanied by a deluge of thunderstorms. I sold four books in three hours. Sadly it doesnt cover the travel expenses for the weekend. But, sadly, this is the world of an indie author.
