Greetings, cats and kittens!  I want to take the opportunity to pass along word of a fine-looking project I just encountered while looking for something else entirely.  Here is the teaser:~ The city…Continue

     Greetings.  For those who don't know me, I am a writer.  That is my entry into steampunk.  I have neither the skill to build things, nor the interest in cosplay, but I have found acceptance here…Continue

     The best thing about being a writer in general is that the voices in my head make me rich, not crazy...  At least I hope they will someday!     The best thing about being a steampunk writer is…Continue

Good Lord, I'll be pulling what little hair I have left out by the roots!  Member after member comes in and puts "Hi" in their profile.  Yeah, hi.  Who are you?  Author, artist, cosplayer, gadget…Continue

Why do readers buy what we write?

Posted on August 20, 2014 at 12:30pm 0 Comments

        Good Wednesday morning, my cats and kittens, and welcome to another writer's rant.  I have it on good authority that a number of my readers at this humble soapbox are independent authors like myself.  In an effort to help anyone who is fighting the nearly hopeless battle of getting your work in front of potential readers who might actually buy it, I constantly have an eye out for tidbits of useful information, and what I have stumbled…

"   Oh, good night!  My blog's address is, of course, http://steampunkjack.weebly.com/blog. ; Amazing the difference that leaving out one little "L" makes!"

Thanks for the formal welcome. Going to check out the Scribbler's Room shortly. I assume you write in the steampunk arena, but what specific style? Victorian, Western? YA or more Adult? I'm working on YA stuff right now, stuff my nieces & nephew can read, but have some darker stories to tell as well.

I did in fact write the Captains Log. But i am afraid I cannot take sole credit for it. I have a wonderful writing partner who provides inspiration and help when he can.

Thank you for the welcome. And a special thank you for the group invite. Being a part of a gathering like this is exactly what I've been looking for. It's hard sometimes finding a place where one can join other writers and discuss while having fun at the same time. So again, thank you so much. :D
