Grimaulkin 1 – War Mage 0

Posted on October 23, 2016 by L. Jacob

Bad news first: War Mage is not going to be out in November. The editor sent the book back to me, half-read, saying that I had no plot. I have a theme, which is not the same as the plot. … Continue reading →

Mission Statement

Posted on September 25, 2016 by L. Jacob

I’m terribly sorry for not putting up a blog last week. I got bitten by a writing bug, and I’ve been on Hemingway (my iMac Mini, located in my cellar) this past week, rewriting Grimaulkin, while I wait for War … Continue reading →

The Market

Posted on September 11, 2016 by L. Jacob

Went yesterday to an Author Meet & Greet in Narragansett. I had the best table–right at the door. I sold nothing. All around me, (memoir, children’s books) they sold at least 2 copies. I sold nothing. I’m still depressed over … Continue reading →
