I’m an Indie Author and Facebook Doesn’t Want My Ad Money

It’s not easy to get the attention of the world these days. For an author, it takes a series of happy coincidences and hard work to get one’s work into the hands of readers- this is a lesson I’m currently in the process of learning, having published my first book. I’ve put plenty of labor…

The Trick to Writing Strong Female Characters

In literary circles, I often see people asking for advice on a wide variety of things- writing prose that isn’t purple, when to get started editing, who to contact for a cover (I recommend Book Covered), and sometimes, how to write strong female characters. With regard to that last question, I’ll impart a bit of…

Josephine’s Job

UPDATE: I’ve gotten quite a bit of feedback on this one- I appreciate it, and just want to point out that this story hasn’t been edited or revised- it’s something of a peek into Josephine’s everyday life, and it’s something that I’ll revisit at some point to improve.

I’ll Be on Television Soon

As I count down the days to the Nutmeg Book Festival, I eagerly await another great event: my first television appearance here in the United States. While I was on television once in Antigua (a short story for another day), my first time here in the USA will be on A New Day, a television show…

Me Squared is Coming

I, Jourdan Cameron, have written a book. The title of the book is Me2 (sometimes written as Me Squared to prevent formatting issues with the superscripted 2). It’s a book that’s been sitting in my head for a very long time. It all started one night about six years ago; I was lying awake in bed, staring up at my…
