Blog postHoly cow...
I mean, I know I don't update this page as much as I should, but damn...
I'll do better.
So, what have I been up to?
Well, I've written a four book series with Richard Fox called the Terra Nova Chronicles. It's set in his Ember War universe and the final installment just published today! YAY!! This series has been a blast to write. I love the characters and really enjoyed crafting the action sequences, especially the final bat -
Blog postSo, if your a regular visitor to my page, you'll know that I post a blog here about once every three blue moons. That's my bad.
But there's is some pretty cool stuff going on in my writing life that I wanted to share!
For almost two years now, ever since I decided to jump into this whole indie publishing thing, a fellow author, Scott Moon, and I have been getting together once a week to talk about our writing, production ideas, marketing plans and just about everything -
Blog postSo, I’ve been neck deep in revising Shadows of Neverland (Second Star Book 3) and haven’t had time for much else. However, there are some new happening of late that some of you might be interested in.
Almost two years ago, I learned that one of my co-workers was also an indie author and began reading one of his first books, Enemy of Man. Since then, Scott Moon and I have been meeting almost every week to discuss the craft and share news and write. We’ve both learned a lot and -

Blog postIf you've been following my Facebook updates, which you had better be doing, you already know I'm a little over three-quarters of the way through Shadows of Neverland, the third of my Second Star series. This is a first draft and even after I’m finished with it, there will still be a shit-ton of work to do.
Here's a sneak peek at the cover:
I’ve had some really productive weeks over the last month and a half, or so, and I feel that the story is really taking off f -
Blog postHello, hello…is this thing on? Ah…there we are…
Again, it’s been a ridiculously long time since I’ve blogged, and man…I’m sorry about that! But I’ve got some cool news I wanted to share, so I figured there’s no better time than now to start back up again!
This week I’ve been gearing up for my first writer’s conference where I’m actually selling physical—turn an actual page—books, and I’m really excited about it. I ordered the largest quantity of books I’ve e -
Blog postThe Forgotten Prince has arrived, and after a fantastic day for Breaking Through this weekend has been very exciting.
You can pick up both from here: Josh Hayes Author Page
Over 1700 people snatched up copies of Breaking Through over the last week, and pushed the first book in the Second Star series to #1 in Space Opera on Amazon and #10 overall in science fiction in the Amazon free store. Not to mention the awesome reviews and that have been coming in for both b -

Blog postAmazon uses algorithms for everything and one of those is how they calculate rankings for titles on launch day. New release titles receive bonuses to help them move up the charts easier than titles already published, to give them more visibility.
This is where pre-orders come into play:
All purchases received during the pre-order period are not counted until launch day, no matter when the person actually bought the book. This adds to the actual launch day sales and h -
Blog postSo, I completely forgot how much work it takes to release a book after the writing is finished. I put The Forgotten Prince up for pre-order and have spent the last couple of days sending out emails, making release announcements and working out a promotional strategy to get the most out of launch day.
I spent all my “writing time” last night reformatting Breaking Through so that readers can simply follow a link at the end of the book to the next one. I added some cool chapter -

Blog postHappy Independence Day!
Sent off my latest manuscript to my editor this week and I’m feeling pretty good about it. They say the number one hurdle to overcome as a writer is finishing the book. Well, now I’ve done that twice. I’m not sure what took me so long to finish it, though.
When I published my first book [Breaking Through] I had book two [The Forgotten Prince] almost completely written, well the first draft anyway, and it’s taken me almost six months to revise a -
Blog postHoly crap, my last post was on January 4th? Are you serious right now?
…What a slacker!
Okay, in my defense, I’ve been house-shopping, packing, moving, unpacking, decorating, sorting, storing, unpacking again, packing again, oh, and dealing with a teething baby. Not that I’ve been busy or anything…
On top of all that, I’ve been hard at work wrapping up revisions on Second Star: The Forgotten Prince (Book 2 for those of you counting) and plotting out book
