    Reading Chapter One

    Good day from the Worldwide Headquarters of the "CC&JT Amateur Hour" where "Production Values Go To Die." Today's podcast is the usual polyglot of subjects and happenings, notably about our outing to the Churchill County Library in Fallon, Nevada. Thank you to Magdalena and her great team for inviting us. We answered questions about our books, and I read chapter one of "A Sheriff of Nevada," and we had a great time! Here's CC's video of the big dork in the above picture talking about writing. Be kind. Speaking of "chapter one": In this podcast, I read chapter one from the draft of my latest SciFi novel that has neither a name or a cover, but those small details did not deter me. I believe in this book and will be marketing it to traditional publishers after creative editor Teri and the Betas are done tearing it apart. I answered CC's important question: what about this book had me feverishly finishing the first draft of 111K words in less than sixty days? The answer may surprise you, especially if you're a woman.

More information as we get closer. Manuscript Status:– The sequel to #passionrestored is almost read for preorder. Release in June.– CC is also digging into Battle Born Bride. She talks about fast-drafting it.– The sequel to Finding Salvation is with me. Release date to be determined.

  2. Traditional Publishing

    Traditional Publishing

    I finished writing another book. That's not news or a surprise because CC and I are a pair of passionate paragraph producers, but this particular first draft took over my life for two months. The editing phase will do the same, but I'm good with that. I believe in this book so hard, I am going to market to the smaller, traditional publishing companies. Traditional published has it pluses and minuses, many of which I will learn first-hand as I submit the manuscript for review. We talk about all of our processes to get to that point, and my nervousness, in this podcast. If you would like to beta read this manuscript, reach out and state your case. Also:- We send love and strength to all of those affected by the Memorial Day weekend. Many folks are vacationing and partying while others are remembering absent family and friends. You are in our thoughts.- Simple things make us happy. We got stickers this morning. Joy ensured.- Related: Yo, Jack in the Box. Sponsor our podcast! Appearances:– I’m at Comma Coffee two or three times a week.

Release in June.– CC is also digging into Battle Born Bride. She talks about fast-drafting it.– The sequel to Finding Salvation is with me.

    Cedar City

    Hello from the Worldwide Headquarters, and we are back after one-thousand-mile roundtrip to Cedar City, Utah. It was actually 1,055 miles, so here's fifty-five free miles for your own adventures. 😉 We traveled back and forth across the great Silver State of Nevada, taking the opportunity to drive on the Extraterrestrial Highway and the Loneliest Highway in the World while enjoying our home's vast open spaces. We saw the Clown Motel, Little A'Le'Inn, Caliente Station, Nevada Northern Railroad Museum, and the Cold Springs Pony Express Stop. Cedar City and the State of Utah was fun, too, and we chat at length about all that, with special attention to the Southern Utah University Campus. If you are a fan of Shakespeare, SUU is a hidden gem! Speaking of gems:- At the end of the podcast, CC makes a huge personal announcement that brings (happy) tears to her eyes.- When we are at the Nevada Northern Railroad Museum, she took video of a steam train approaching the station. The video is appended to our YouTube podcast. Appearances:– I’m at Comma Coffee two or three times a week.

    Brains

    Our brains are not braining today, so this podcast was short and sweet. Short for us, anyway. We did a book signing at the Carson Mall on Mothers Day, and we want to thank Magical Moments for hosting and feeding us. Kudos to them. Aside from that, we mostly talked about our books, and how much we appreciate it when people buy them and leave reviews. In fact, if you love any book, leaving a review and telling your friends about the book is the best thing you can do for a writer. Please do that.

    In this episode of the podcast where "Production Values go to Die," CC and I give the ten-thousand-foot view of writing, editing, and producing a self-published book. Google AI gave us these stages of production: Manuscript Development & EditingProduction & DesignDistribution SetupMarketing & LaunchPost-Launch & Management The two of us are always deep into one of these stages, and since we often have overlapping manuscripts, we can be at different stages at the same time. Sometimes we forget how complex these stages are. Just in this podcast, we mentioned these partners who help publish our books: Jack in the Box (coffee!), Red Adept, Teri Case, Comma Coffee, Sierra Arts Foundation, 99Designs, Book Sirens, Brewery Arts Center, Atticus, Amazon, Kobo, Draft2Digital, Google Books, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, InDesign, and Microsoft Word.

    Urban fantasy is a genre that allows writers to blend the real world with magical elements, creating stories that captivate readers' imaginations. In this episode of "The CC&JT Amateur Hour," we chat with with Sam Robb, a talented author known for his unique approach to urban fantasy. Together, we’ll delve into essential techniques for writing compelling narratives that resonate with readers. Sam emphasizes the importance of seamlessly integrating magical elements into a realistic setting. This requires careful consideration of how magic interacts with the urban environment. By establishing clear rules for magic in your story, you create a believable world that readers can immerse themselves in. Sam notes that in his novel "Sigils," the protagonist’s graffiti art inadvertently opens a gateway to the magical world, showcasing how everyday actions can lead to extraordinary consequences. Together, Sam's mixture of the real and the fantasy promises to take you on an unforgettable literary journey. Want to dive deeper into the world of urban fantasy?

    Scams

    Bookmark this page: Publishing Scam Alerts via the Authors Guild. One of the many unfortunate outcomes of the rise of Artificial Intelligence in the Writing Business is the increase of scams aimed at authors desperate for public exposure. Sophisticated emails with specific details about our books claim they will help us gain a wider audience for "a nominal fee." A quick Google search (ironically via their AI) categorizes these scams into four general categories: Impersonation and Phishing Scams,Upfront Fee Scams,Marketing, PR, and Review Scams, and Freelance Writing Scams. The one we see the most is the Book Club scam: someone claims to represent a book club with "hundreds of members," and they will share our book with those members for a fee. Another one we got hit with this week was someone claiming to represent a legitimate publisher, but a quick internet search revealed the IP address on their server was created the day before the email. Yeah, no. Nobody should have access to your money or your dreams without your permission, so when you see these unsolicited emails: hesitate, stop, and research. Do not click any links inside the email. Open another browser window and check out the sender and their organization. Bottom Line: if it sounds to good to be true, it absolutely is too good to be true. Appearances:– I’m at Comma Coffee two or three times a week.

    In today’s global literary landscape, the stories we tell often reflect our personal journeys, shaped by our experiences and interactions with diverse cultures. As writers, we are not only creators but also observers, capturing the essence of humanity in our narratives. In this podcast, we delve into the remarkable journey of Ruben Elustondo, an author who has transformed his life experiences into captivating literature. Ruben is an Argentine author whose life path has taken him across several countries and cultures. Having been born in Argentina and later working extensively throughout Latin America, the United States, and beyond, Ruben’s experiences in different environments have significantly influenced his writing. He has authored eight novels and a collection of poems, drawing from his rich life experiences to create compelling narratives that resonate with readers on a universal level. Ruben emphasizes the importance of being a professional observer, particularly as a writer. He shares that the experiences and behaviors he has witnessed during his travels often find their way into his books, allowing readers to relate to the narratives on a personal level.
