Well, “War Party” sales event started yesterday and got off to a great start thanks to lots of readers who bought the book at 99 cents. I hope they like the book and might even post a review when they’re done. The book nearly made the top 100 yesterday in the suspense category which was … Read More
As some of you know, I’m reading “War Party” myself as part of the Goodreads ActionAdventure group read going on now. I’ve reached page 203 and ugh found a second typo. I hate them even though I find them in books from major publishers too and understand that they sneak in despite the best efforts … Read More
Writing is pretty much a solitary endeavor so it’s really great when Mother Nature provides you with company. I write most of the time in a third floor “office” and it’s quiet up here. Now, I’ve got company and inspiring company at that. An oriole pair built a nest just outside my window and their … Read More
Thanks to everyone who voted in the GR poll. I just got word that “War Party” was voted in as group read for the month in the Action/Adventure group at Goodreads. Something I never expected but I certainly am thankful for a chance to not only have new readers for the book but actually be … Read More
During a discussion yesterday with a friend who reads all my books and is often critical, he asked what book I’m working on (he’s not on FB) and I said the sequel to “War Party”. He asked if he could make a suggestion. Gulp, okay, I said. Can you have more of the book be … Read More
Like many authors, I usually have more than one book idea rattling around in my head at a time. While I’m concentrating on finishing a sequel to “War Party” I also have been thinking about a far-future scifi novel that’s been in the drawer for a couple of years. If the setting is about 200 … Read More
I am about 1/3 through what I hope is the final draft to the sequel to “War Party.” With any luck (well really just more work) it might even see print later this year. In the meantime, I still don’t have a title for it and can’t seem to come up with a catchy name … Read More
Every Author wants to connect with readers and yet we seldom get that chance. One way is through reviews but even those are generally few and far between for Indie Authors. So, imagine my surprise and delight to find that I just got a 5-star review on Amazon for my scifi action novel, “Shepherds.” And … Read More
With fantasy book 3 set aside to ferment, I am working on the sequel to “War Party” and need to figure out what the title should be. Right now the working title is “Train Wreck” but I think it is both misleading and maybe gives too much away. Another thought is “The Bridge” though again … Read More
The first draft of fantasy book 3 is done. Finally. I can’t say it all went exactly as I thought it would when I started but it seems consistent within itself and for now that’s all I can ask. Now to set it aside, take time to reflect on what I’ve written before starting to … Read More
