It's easy enough to contact me via the contact page but here are some common answers to frequent questions:

Advice on writing:

If you're asking me advice on how to get published, consider reading Just A Draft. It's not complete, but it contains a lot of information about what I know about becoming a writer.

Asking me for a blurb:

I take blurb requests via an agent or editor, they can contact me here. This is so I can honestly blurb (or not) without fear of awkward interactions or letting anyone down if things don't work out (for whatever reason).
