In our latest episode, we chat about my journey into self-publishing: how I got there, why I chose it, and some of the ins and outs I’ve learned along the way. This is just my story. There are many other options out there, so many tools and companies you can go with and choose from, and other indie authors probably know of even better routes to go, but this is the process that works for me.

Read MoreWelcome to An Evening in the Stormcave, with your hosts Grant Walker and Jenelle Schmidt.Tonight we are talking about "Perfect Movies." A subjective or even "nebulous" topic to be sure, but we take some time to discuss just a few of our favorite films that we feel are flawless. What about you?

Now, in the past, I’ve tried to have some semblance of rules and regulations over this blog post, and I’ve never stuck to those rules very well… so this year, the only rule is that any book on this list has to have been NEW TO ME.
Yup.
Get ready for chaos.
