Blog postHello to anyone who might still be reading this blog. It's been almost two years since I last posted. I'm sorry. I never quite got the hang of blogging. I was told once it was essential to becoming a successful author. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.
Anyway, here I am, back for a quick update. I will try to update here more often. Share pics from my life or just give you a heads up about what sort of shenanigans I've gotten myself into.
So, what have I been up to?

Blog postHello everyone. Sorry I've been absent. I've been working on book 3 in my Perpetual Creatures Series in between battles with the day job and yard work. But I wanted to stop by to tell you about 35 FREE books. Graeme Ing has compiled the books in a blog post that you can find right here.
Now in the spirit of transparency I must tell you that two of the 35 books belong to me. I also have not yet read any of the books on the list. But I do talk with most of the authors, and we are doin -
Blog postMy new website is up and running. I will be adding a few more bells and whistles in the near future, but this is pretty much the completed version. It should be a little more user friendly and more professional looking. Head on over to gabrielbeyers.com and have a look.

Blog postI just wanted to let everyone know that I am revamping my website, so if you go to www.gabrielbeyers.com you are going to get an error message for a few days. For the time being you can get to the old version of my website at www.gabebeyers.blogspot.com.
Hopefully everything will be back, better than ever, real soon. -

Blog postI'm pleased to announce that Beauty & Power: Perpetual Creatures 2 is now live on Amazon. It's only available as an ebook right now, but the print version is on the way. Oh, and it will be on sale for $0.99 until 2/15.
Here is what the book is all about:
Since becoming a vampire, Jerusa Phoenix has been dreading the day that she must go before the Stewards of Life to be judged. Then comes the night she returns home to find a pair of Hunters waiting for her.

Blog postHello everyone. I know I've been MIA once again, but rest assure I've been working my tail off.
The *new day job has been keeping me quite busy in all the un-fun, non-writerly ways that day jobs do. But I'm not giving up on writing. I'm working on the second book in my Perpetual Creatures series, titled Beauty & Power, and will be sending it off to the editor real soon. I hope to have it out around the first of the year, then I'll start writing book 3.
I would love -
Blog postAfter WAY too long of a time between books, I'm happy to announce that I have hit the publish button on my latest novel.
HEART OF THE DEAD is book one in my Perpetual Creatures Series.
Jerusa Phoenix never thought she would experience anything more shocking than being able to see ghosts. Then she met Silvanus. The young man with unearthly eyes, who seems to be able to read her thoughts, is handsome, powerful, and she is sure of one thing: he isn’t human.

Blog postFrom now until September 15th you can get PREDATORY ANIMALS for just 99 cents.
In the town of Shadeland, people are vanishing.
The Pummels, a most beloved family and benefactor to the exotic cat rescue center, are guarding a secret--one they will kill to keep quiet. Stranger still, retired Marine Casper Brown suffers a near-death accident that gives him a deep connection to three stray dogs while filling his nights with dreams of unearthly creatures.

Blog postI have decided to take my stories and go all in with Amazon.* I know many of you will tell me what an unwise decision that is, and you may be right. But the thing is, in three years I haven't earned squat on all of the other retailers combined.
It may be a failed experiment, then again, maybe not.
I'm working toward publishing book one in a new series. I'm just waiting on the cover art to come back. But then I went and did something stupid, like read this blog post by H -
Blog postI can't believe that I haven't written a post since January.
Granted, my purpose for this blog has changed over the years. When I first started, it was understood that if you wanted to gain the attention of an agent then you needed a strong web presence with a ready-made following.
Now that that myth has been debunked, I use this blog just to drain some of my random thoughts.
What have I been up to since January?
Much and more.

Blog postHello everyone. I hope you are all warm and dry as we endure this latest Snowpocalypse. If you happen to be somewhere tropical then I hate you. Just kidding. But I'm not. I really hate you.
Here in southern IN it keeps switching between rain and snow. My yard has turned into the most drab giant Slurpee you've ever seen. As I listen to the water dripping down my broken chimney and tap on top of my vent-less gas fireplace, soaking the army of towels I have piled beneath the leak, I tr -
Blog postI've been a bit absent on the ol' blog . . . again. Big shocker, I know. My apologies. It's not you. It's me. I live what you could say is an anticlimactic life. Anyway, I've been a bit busy these past couple of months, but I thought I better get one last post in 2013.
As I wander through my self-publishing adventure like a blind man in a smoke-filled rave party, I've inevitably stumbled along the way. One of my major mistakes was wasting a bunch of time trying to promote old works -

Blog postLet me tell you a little story.
There once was a troll that happened across a beautiful maiden. The maiden was kind to the troll, treating him as she would any friend. The troll feared that the maiden would soon see him for what he truly was, so in his desperation he acquired a magic ring that would forever bind the maiden to him.
Years passed and the troll felt bad for deceiving the maiden. He confessed that he had tricked her into staying with him. To his surprise the -
Blog postI was perusing my blog roll here on the blog, just thinking about doing some house cleaning. Then I came across the one at the bottom. Three years outdated. And I just can't delete it.
I can't believe it's been three years. Jamie Eyberg was a good guy, always eager to help me out or give me a kind word. I dare say he and I were friends, even if it was a cyber friendship.
This is the last post Jamie wrote on his blog. I encourage you to go through and read the others as -
Blog postWhen I was a young boy growing up in the 80s there were few things I loved more than staying up late on a Friday night to watch Sammy Terry.
Sammy Terry was, and still is, a well known local TV personality here in Indiana famous for his horror show. The movies he showcased were mostly b-rated horror films or classics from the 30s through the 50s. Sammy Terry's show is one of my most fond memories growing up. It sparked my long lasting love of horror and sci-fi.

Blog postWell, surprise surprise. I'm about 15 minutes away from almost missing a May blog post. Shocking I know.
May has been an especially crazy month for me. First, my lovely wife graduated from nursing school. It's been a long hard road for our family, but she's a tough gal. I'm very proud that she not only went back to school (which isn't easy once you're married with children) but that she has chosen to be a nurse. It's a noble calling to help those -
Blog postI'm sure by now you've all heard about James Patterson and the ad he paid for in the NYT. About how he feels literature is swirling around the proverbial toilet bowl and how we are all destined to return to illiterate Serfs. Though he admits he doesn't have the answer to the death of story telling he does suggest a "government bailout" may be the ticket.
There is a lot and more I could say, but I was always taught if you can't say anything nice then don't say a -
Blog postWho doesn't love a deal, am I right? There is nothing quite like happening upon something you want for a price way under what you expected to pay.
Now, I know you usually get what you pay for, and anything worth having should cost you something, but don't get all philosophical on me. Just hear me out.
I'm not talking about those cut-corner, buying generic, sacrificing quality kind of deals. I'm talking about a Copy of the Constitution Found in a $4 Pai -
Blog postAs I was perusing the fun and informative blog The Passive Voice I came across an article that stopped my scrolling finger.
James Patterson: the best seller who doesn't write his own books.
As a writer and a reader I found that too intriguing to pass up. You can read the full article here, but the skinny is Mr. Patterson doesn't really write a line by line book. He comes up with a 60 - 80 page detailed synopsis then subs the actual writing out to other write -
Blog postI've published two more short stories from Contemplations of Dinner as singles. Here are the covers for A Town Full of Holes and The Barn.
I will be releasing a brand new short titled The Promotion just as soon as the cover comes back.
In other news, I made the jump from hobbyist to professional. No, my writing has not yielded enough sales to allow me to quit the dreaded day job. But I did add writing as a profession on my taxes. The past couple -
Blog postI have published four of the short stories from my collection Contemplations of Dinner as singles. You can purchase them for $0.99 each or get Contemplations of Dinner for $2.99. I did this to widen my virtual shelf space and to cater to those who would rather read a short story than a whole novel. If you're so inclined, to check them out.

Blog postThis is more than a bit late, but I want to announce that my novel Predatory Animals is free until midnight PST. You can find it here. Feel free to grab a copy, "Like" the page, and once you read it leave an honest review.
This is the last of my free days from Amazon KDP Select. I've enrolled my other books in Select before and I didn't see the huge uptick in sales like others have. I weighed whether or not to enroll Predatory Animals. I hadn' -
Blog postI am a couple days behind on this (big shock, I know) but I wanted to do a little bit of bragging.
Guarding the Healer has won the IBD Award.
There aren't very many awards for indie authors (or as I prefer to be called *artisanal author) and I appreciate any recognition given. It's a tough road to choose and it's good to know someone cares.
Thanks Indie Book of the Day.
*Term is no my own. It was shamefully stolen from Guy Kawasaki. -
Blog postOut with the old, in with the new.
The year 2012 was a strange one for me. My writing life didn't quite measure up to what I had hoped, but it wasn't terrible, either. I'm learning and growing all the time, and I believe my writing is getting better with every typed word.
I'm not much for New Year's resolutions, but I have some plans and goals to help my writing career grow. Let's hope I can stick with it. If all goes well, my wife will be gradua
