Christmas Under a ‘Red Sky’

December 22, 2014 by robmcclel Leave a Comment

Hey guys, keeping this one brief since most of us still have tons to do before Thursday. That said, I didn’t feel right about closing down 2014 without giving you at least a taste of what’s to come this spring.

The brick and mortar conundrum for indie authors

October 28, 2014 by robmcclel Leave a Comment

Hello again, everyone! Welcome to fall and the Halloween edition of the Manifesto!

Turkey Time!!!

November 25, 2013 by robmcclel Leave a Comment

Ah, Thanksgiving… How I’ve missed you and the gluttonous, calorie-rich glory you represent!  Smoked turkey breast, spiral-cut ham, deep-fried venison, sweet potato souffle, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, banana puddin’, chocolate cake… vegetables that I’m sure someone not named Ian will eat!  I mean, seriously people!  Throw in all of your favorite friends and […]
