The Author's Show Podcast


Today, there's a podcast interview out for Guardian of The Palace. I think it'll get archived, but not 100% sure. Might be a today-only thing.

Honestly, I have no idea why anyone would want to listen to authors talk about their books. I sometimes listen with a writer's ear, but as a reader? I don't get it. I'd love for someone to explain to me. I'd also be interested in knowing if my sentiment is right, and no one wants to listen to an author. I downgraded my email plan, so I can no longer send a poll, but let me know--I'd even like to have confirmation that "Yeah, I wouldn't listen to that," because it lets me know how to spend my time.

If you think there are groups that would be interested, or other ways I should let people know about this, let me know--I love organic connections.

Note, I haven't listened to it yet.

Happy 2026 everyone! I hope you had a great year and a relaxing vacation. I loved having my oldest back from college for the holiday. My Facebook business account was hacked on December 10th and still hasn’t been recovered. Dealing with Facebook’s responses was exhausting and derailed my focus completely. As a result, I barely wrote at all in December. Consider it a lost month for the next book. My account is still lost, but I’m distancing myself from it, beginning to let it go as...

I wanted to update folks on my FB Business Account hack. First, they haven't resolved it. It's been super-painful. Happy to tell anyone about the pain if they want to hear, but after a week-and-a-half of crazy stress, I've let it go (mostly). If I get the account back? Okay, I may use it. If not, I may just give up on FB. Here's the weird thing that makes that easier. My sales dropped to about 1/3 to 1/2 of what they were without the FB Ads. But my spend dropped tremendously. The last two...

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving—with family, friends, or a bit of quiet time if that’s what you needed. My heart’s with those who find this season hard, missing faces no longer at their table. We hadn’t planned to host this year, but plans changed (as they do). I ended up smoking a turkey, starting at 4 a.m. It turned out great—despite some new smoker equipment that didn’t want to cooperate. A few changes to the newsletter: I’ve removed the opt-outs for family updates and the Indie...
