I Made A Couple of Minor Changes To My Boxed Set

Hi, everyone! Very briefly, I wanted to let you know that I have made a slight change to the title of the digital boxed set edition of the first three books of The Inventor's Son. It will now be listed in the eBook stores as The Inventor's Son Collection (Books 0-2) because that is a much …

The Next Steps with Changes to The Inventor’s Son Series

Hi, everyone! It's October 1st now, and I have delisted The Inventor's Son: The Beginning from all sales channels.

Some More Details on my Updates to The Inventor’s Son Series

Hello, everyone! This morning, I took the first steps to changing the price of The Inventor's Son back to $3.99.

Summer’s Nearly Over, So It’s Time For Some Changes

Back before I published my first book, I had the idea that I would make a special book that I could offer for free. The Inventor's Son: The Beginning was the book that evolved into what we in the indie publishing world like to call a "permafree" book. That is, it's a book that anyone …

On Becoming a More Productive Writer

I have been talking a lot about trying to shift the focus of my website and blogs. Yes, I have, technically, four blogs. One of them is this one, SB James Doing the Write Thing. This blog has evolved and become more of a place for authors than a place for my readers. I'm in …

A Quick Announcement: I’ve Got a Boxed Set!

It's a collection of the first three books in The Inventor's Son! I have the "Boxed Set" Image for all sales outlets except Apple, on account of the fact that they don't like the "3d boxed set" look.

Using Scrivener for Windows and Sigil to Create an EPUB: The 3 Main Ingredients

I've been wanting to do a tutorial like this for a long time. Anyone who may have downloaded my most recently reformatted eBooks or Kindle books surely must have noticed the difference between how they used to look and how they look now. The difference was in what programs I used to write and format …
