  • FWCracker

    …and why I decided to build it. The idea behind FWCracker (Firmware Cracker) came to me very simply and more importantly in a very natural and practical way. I had a problem which drove me to find a solution. The solution drove me further, drawing more than pushing me to find a way on how…

  • 2023, another wild and zany year…for the books?

    Well, well, well. At least it wasn’t the books in reverse even though I loved those guys back in the day. But it did get a little nippy. What a year it’s been, right? Not sure if you know this but I receive far less email from any of you to count this newsletter as…

  • A Vampire’s Tale: Printed books, interior design for such, and ready for print-on-demand documents (distributors).

    Later on, we’ll dive even deeper into cover creation since I’ve already given you a few jewels about that end of the workload. This post is about what should be applied to your book’s print version. I’ll be referring to your book as a manuscript since that’s what it is before it’s printed. Word, Libre,…

  • A Vampire’s Tale: Logo deals

    Yeah, that was a little bit of a stretch. A few associates of mine had the goodwill to lean me away from horror tales. I can get a little gross when it comes to gore, which should be fitting of the parlance that conveys horror, but I don’t really need to be associated with pure…

  • A Vampire’s Tale: Cover work

    As I was saying, this was the first cover I came up with for the novel. I usually put something together, something not too good or poor, which only needs to convey the title and genre. As you probably know, I like to send out a preview, a sparse few chapters, in an attempt to…
