Despite a very disappointing day for sales, my book’s rank did climb some. Not nearly as high as predicted. SATAN’S DIARY (link in bio) was a Kindle Daily Deal pick today—on sale for 99¢. Literally chosen by Amazon editors to be spotlighted for one day. But nowhere did @amazonkindle list…

Two reviews that came in within a day of each other. Neither person has finished the book, but both were compelled to write a review after just reading the opening. How coincidental. And how wildly different their perspectives!

Unfortunately, after a dictator gains power, his approval ratings don’t mean much.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of Ponticello’s hilarious space opera: The Maiden Voyage of the Destiny Unknown. Readers often cite this as Ponticello’s best work, pointing to the humor and insight it brings to the human experience.

My next publication? Well I’m working on a comic book with the entire collection of Simply Nick comic strips I drew in my twenties. (I once had dreams of being a cartoonist for the funny pages. *sigh*). I figured I’d throw them together in a book. It’s going to be fun!

Hi. I’m an author and educator in Los Angeles. I have two dogs: an indestructible 8-yr-old and an incredibly sweet and athletic 4-yr-old who is currently recovering from her second knee surgery. I write all kinds of books: scifi, fantasy, YA, contemporary, mystery. Libraries are my happy place.

Writing a story is like excavating the site of an ancient Roman ruin; you have to chip away at it until it reveals itself to you.

Lovely. Every congressperson has issued a condemnatory statement to the effect of “He can’t do that!” but they haven’t done a thing to stop him. Stop posting and start governing!
