Author brand. Branding campaign. Get your brand, catch customers. My head swims with marketing gurus rapidly sharing their tips to all of us selling SFA. Buzzwords and trendy nothings. But one idea I thought would be kind of fun to do is to create a character to go with my logo. A character that could…

I like computers. I like the Internet. I design my own website and blog. I write on them all, from time to time.
How To Launch ShopHERE in Ten Steps
So you’ve gotten approved for the ShopHERE program of Digital Main Street, you’ve submitted the information requested, you’ve seen the initial design they’ve created, you either bought a domain or redirected a page on your website to the shop, you made your logo, and now comes the hard part: working your way to launching an…
New Website Feature!
Working Towards A Concussion Website When I wrote Concussion Is Brain Injury back in 2012, I reserved domains to create a website dedicated to pulling together all the information on concussion, using my book as a springboard. Due to the usual problems associated with brain injury, I failed in doing so, though I did try…
Reading Reward Among Brain Injury Ruins
Last year after completing 81 hours of intensive reading-comprehension re-learning via Lindamood-Bell’s visualizing and verbalizing program, I promised myself the reward of an e-reader if I finished The Lions of Al-Rassan. I’d begun reading that big book during the application weeks of the visualizing and verbalizing program, but I had to finish it on my…
Amazon, Reliant Cellular: iPhone Buyer Beware
An iPhone Buyer Beware Story: Late last October (2018), my parents bought me an “Apple iPhone 6s 128 GB International Warranty Unlocked Cellphone – Retail Packaging (Rose Gold)” from Reliant Cellular. It came in its retail packaging. Package looked unopened. iPhone and charger looked new. It wasn’t a counterfeit one. But it was only when…
Website Update Time
Books don’t sell themselves. Unfortunately. You must market, publicize, convince people to write reviews for you — not rave about the book only to you. An up-to-date website also helps to sell yourself and your books. It ups your SEO on Google, a good thing as that’s how people find you. But an old-looking website…
Archived Storify on #HealingTheBrain Conference 24 May 2017
Storify, bought out by Adobe, shut down operations, flinging my Storify and everyone else’s into the virtual trash bin. Fortunately, the internet has helpful coders who supplement the pathetic FAQ Adobe created, and I’ve recreated the Storify here below as an archive. I attended the Healing The Brain conference on Wednesday, May 24, 2017 as…
Heart and Colours, the Concussion Way
After the amazing HRV numbers a couple of weeks ago, they tanked the following week. Sigh. That’s how brain injury improvement goes, I thought. And then I began getting short of breath in the way that tells me my heart ain’t too happy, which my hypothalamus fix had made better way back when. Oh. Yeah.…
Don’t Read, Watch to Learn!
Although I did well in the Oxford online short courses on philosophy of mind and metaphysics, the reading just about broke me because my neurons in the reading-related networks were injured, and so little is known about how the brain reads that treatment had been a series of guesses and so not hugely effective. Plus…
