Marketing, it’s weird.

The writers at Supposed Crimes LLC have their own blogs. Are you following them? Geonn Cannon. V. R. Merrymore.
I sold over 100 copies of Little Disquietude in April, thanks to some spectacular advertising from friends. More than I could ever hope for. Riley Parra Season One will be at the printers imminently. The Riches of Mercy is in editing. Geonn has completed the first draft of Riley Parra Season Three. The anthology’s content is nearly finalized.
THINGS ARE GOOD.
Print sales only account for 15% of overall sales, cost the most up front, and pay the smallest...
Book Rec from Geonn Cannon: The Stepsister Scheme
merrymore Blog geonn cannon recommended reading v. r. merrymore
From time to time, the Supposed Crimes blog will be linking to offsite entries in SC’s authors’ blogs. First up is a book recommendation from Geonn Cannon. To be quite honest, after reading what he had to say about it, I ordered a copy right away. I’m excited to read the book!
The cover of the first book is misleading. It looks sort of like something a high school girl would tote around in her bookbag (not to badmouth high school girls, but they ARE partially to blame for the Twilight nonsense). But like The Princess Bride, which was disguised...
For the editor

As soaps die and web series make money, this article about Morgan Spurlock and advertising-financing seems pretty relevant.
My mind has really been on editing. I need editors. I need editors I pay, because I need them to be rigorous and hard on me.
Otherwise, I think I give up on my stories too easily. I get exhausted. After 50,000 words and months of re-reading and re-writing, I declare something “done.” But just because I’m done doesn’t mean the story’s done. The editor’s job is to point out the holes I know are there, the holes I don’t know...
More research in maps
merrymore Blog c. e. case coming soon research western
Even for draft one of the western, known as The Women That Don’t Fit In, the Texas General Land Office was a huge help. Railroad maps were the best and most period-specific, but even later maps showed me the evolution of a city. Like the Nevada Digital Library, it is slooooow.
“West of Here” by Jonathan Evison is an epic story that switches between the settlement of a small town in western Washington state and it’s current-day travails. The novel alternates between the two time zones until developments near the end bring the two settings together in unexpected ways.
...On a mission

Friend eLibrary has a tiny little listing called California Missions (2004). The mission features oh so minorly in Filaments, and yet has been the easiest thing to find information on. Sketches of the mission building and floor plan accompany a brief history, timeline, and statistics. This can be cross-referenced with the Wikipedia maze. Check out Mission San Francisco de Asis.
