And The Winner Is (PT2)…

by TPC 04.25.2011

Tax Time!

by Stephanie 04.11.2011

While James and Omar have been building their author brands and plotting publishing world domination, I’ve been mired in the considerably less glamorous task of preparing TPC’s 2010 tax returns. Oh well, someone has to do it right?  After all, Uncle Sam can be an unforgiving relative when you don’t get your forms in on [...]

I Love it When a Plan Comes Together!

by Omar 03.31.2011

As big of a proponent I am of enjoying the climb and celebrating successes big and small along the way, I am an even bigger proponent of planning. And here at TPC we have drafted and implemented many plans in the 15 months since we started our journey. Recently, I was looking back [...]

Booksigning Reflections

by James 07.08.2010

My first booksigning. Crazy. It almost doesn’t make sense that I can put the words “my” and “booksigning” in the same sentence, but as of June 24th, 2010, I can marry those words together. I learned a lot from that day, too. In this video, I reflect on what the experience was like.

In my hands…

by TPC 06.16.2010

It’s here.
All pieces accounted for, complete and packaged up, ready for the world to see. Two-hundred and ninety pages of TPC’s first born. Simply put: It’s a beautiful thing to see a dream in your hands. Literally.

Almost there…

by James 06.07.2010

Yeah, it sure is Showtime, like Omar said. And I may have been breaking ankles with a wicked crossover rewrite, but that doesn’t mean I’m not feeling the heat, constantly trying to be like Mike in my literary endeavors.
Creating a top-notch story in a written format is extremely difficult–plot, character development, pace, lively dialogue–SELLOUT needs [...]

Anxiety…My New Best Friend

by James 05.27.2010

5,172,525 times. That’s the number of edits I’ve made to SELLOUT.
All right, I’m exaggerating, but since early March, I’ve stared at the manuscript so many times, excerpts of the book are probably branded into the whites of my eyeballs. Rewrite after rewrite after f*ckin’ rewrite. Up all hours of the day AND night, trying to [...]

Two Many Damn Hats!

by James 05.09.2010

I usually sport a skin-fade, but even if rocked dreadlocks, I still wouldn’t have much hair because I would’ve yanked out half those bad boys by now, just like the weeds in my backyard. I mean, damn, what the hell did we get ourselves into with this whole publisher-slash-small business-slash-author thing? And all at the [...]
