When last we visited the confessional, I told about one of the best writing conferences I’ve attended. I was pitching a young adult superhero story entitled Failstate. By the end of that conference, I had three nibbles that I could pursue afterwards: Jeff Gerke of Marcher Lord Press had asked…

Just a head’s up, this particular post is about marketing and behind-the-scenes type stuff for promoting books. If you don’t want me to spoil the magic or you think you’ll be turned off by some self-centered navel gazing, I won’t mind if you check out. I’ll probably put myself to…

John W. Otte February 17, 2015 February 16, 2015Fan Art Failstate, fan art 1
