A few years ago on my journey to become an author I decided to boldly claim the dream. In those casual conversations we all have, at a party in the neighborhood, in a grocery store line, in a barber chair with a guy wielding sharp scissors standing over me, as my dog does 360’s around […]

Lights, Camera, Action: Creating a Book Trailer for TOXIC RELATIONSHIP
Posted: 27th August 2012 by jazzdog in Marketing, Publishing, TOXIC RELATIONSHIPTags: author, blog, book trailer, creativity, eBook, marketing, Richard Hacker, thriller, toxic relationship, writing
Seems like everyone puts out a book trailer for their novels these days, so I decided I’d add a trailer to my promotion plan. First step — gather all of my Hollywood insiders to put together an incredible team of producers, directors, videographers, all the way to a caterer using only locally sourced, organically grown […]
Writing in the Raw
Posted: 20th August 2012 by jazzdog in Creativity, TOXIC RELATIONSHIP, WritingTags: author, blog, creativity, fiction, novel, Richard Hacker, toxic relationship, writer, writing
With the publication of TOXIC RELATIONSHIP, a phenomenon has occurred which I suppose I should have expected and yet, I feel surprised. I have written in one form or another for years. Those first short stories I read during “show and tell” in Mrs. Meredeth’s third grade class, my bitingly witty (to a 13 year […]

Pacific Northwest Writers Conference 2012

I just got back from the Pacific Northwest Writers Association. “Just got back” is a bit of a stretch, since the conference happened in Seattle, just a quick twenty minute commute from my house. Writers gravitate to these conferences for a number of reasons: to see colleagues and be with other writers, to attend workshops […]

In addition, he’s been a corporate executive and a freelance columnist featured in defense publications including Military Times and Air Power Journal. Brian and I know each […]

A Shot to the Heart

I have my dad’s 1911 Colt .45 semi-automatic pistol, the very one he wore in a leather shoulder harness as a B-17 bombardier in the Pacific doing low level bombing of Emperial Japanese warships. I’ll bypass the whole “low level bombing in a B-17” thing for another time. The last and only time I ever […]
