With any luck, the April 1st release date will actually become a reality… though I’ve never not had to postpone a release, fingers crossed this time! I’ve seen the development of the cover and I can’t wait to share it with you all. The promo … Read More Soul Siphon Update

Hi All, I’ve gotten quite a few emails about Damnation… Given that I’m trying to balance my time between my reader base, AND getting Soul Siphon out there to all of you, the emails are too much for me to be able to answer individually. Don’t get me wrong, I love getting them and I read every last one personally. It’s just difficult finding time … Read More Damnation Author interview.

So a few days ago I was reading a the original ‘Little Mermaid’ by Hans Christian Anderson. I was curious about the story after my boys took a liking to the Disney version. I won’t spoil anything for anyone, but I highly recommend reading the original. It is superior in every way to the lax character development of the Disney version. Anyway, more on … Read More Are Narrative Stories Out of Date

Hello Mr. Harrington, I saw on one of your posts that you take questions. So here it is, how important is it to publishers that you have a blog with a lot of followers and how many followers do they want to see. Right now, I don’t see myself devoting time to acquiring followers. It seems very time consuming and I’d rather use that … Read More Blogs of Importance

You know… I’m starting to understand the gripe everyone has with Disney’s… bastardization of children’s literature. Initially, whenever someone griped over the princesses or the cheesy love at first sight stories, I kind of just rolled my eyes. Come on, they were harmless children’s stories, right? Well… Yesterday, we put on Mickey and the Beanstalk for Gabe and… well let’s just say it’s a … Read More The Disney Effect…

No rest for the weary I guess. Inspiration doesn’t wait for someone to be ready. I was planning on taking some time off from writing after Damnation got published, but it doesn’t look like that is going to happen. A new idea popped into my head that quickly gaining traction and before I knew it, I had almost a full novel written in the … Read More ANNOUNCEMENT!!! NEW BOOK IN THE WORKS!!!

“Apparently someone asked Raymond Chandler once what he thought about Hollywood ruining all of his books. And he took them to his study and pointed up to the shelf where they all were and he said, ‘Look, they’re there. They’re fine. They’re okay.’ That’s the attitude I have to take. The film hasn’t ruined my book.” -Alan Moore

Hey Jim, Just read your post on WordPress titles ‘When to Start?’ I think you’ve hit the nail on the head and your advice is especially useful for novices like me. I started writing on WordPress about a month and a half back and I write whenever I can steal 15-30 minutes, mostly from my lunch breaks. I see that my posts are evolving … Read More The Short Story Submission

I’ve gotten a lot of questions on this one. I suppose that I may not have made this particularly clear on my previous posts… so I’ll try harder… Yes, Damnation is a sequel… technically. It is a follow-up novel to Divinity though dealing with an entirely different cast in the same universe: Do Divinity characters make an appearance? Yes, but mostly as cameos. Does this … Read More Damnation… sequel?

This is a bittersweet moment for me. Up until now, General Xaphan and the entire cast of Damnation were all my own. They were characters that I created, gave personalities, and assembled into their story… but no longer. Now they are yours to go on an adventure with. After years of bleeding and sweating over creating and improving them, I have finally decided to let … Read More Damnation… Released!

So in the questions I’ve had asked, a few of the same came up: “I have the desire to become a writer, a published writer. I just have no idea where to to start.” –plasticfacesofdorothy ——————————————————- Hey Jim, I’ve come to the point where I’m revising a draft of a novel for mainly grammar and wording, no more major changes to the plot.
