I’ve been watching a series on quantum mechanics recently (it’s a form of avoidance). My writing has been going a bit slow lately, interrupted by a serious cold that left me flattened for about five days. In watching the series, one of the more interesting things I discovered, among the many bizarre things about the […]
Diane Donovan of Donovan’s Literary Services has completed her review of RESCUE. She is also part of Midwest Book Review. “Readers looking for a dystopian seat-of-your-pants read that is nearly impossible to put down will find Rescue just the ticket.” You can read her complete review here. I’m happy for the positive review. She’s reviewed […]
With my “After the Fall” series doing well, it’s time for me to settle down and write a fourth book in the series. The shift from polishing and marketing back to creative writing is harder than going the other way. When a novel is finished, one has a large sense of accomplishment. After all, it […]
I’ve been out of touch for a few months. I apologize for not writing sooner. I finished Rescue, the 3rd story in the After the Fall series, and, after weeks of polishing and proofing, finally got it to market. I have it intro-priced at only $.99. The book is already bumping into the Top 100 […]
Uprising out: I’ve just pushed the “Publish” button on Amazon for Uprising. This is a re-write of the two Catherine’s Tales. While well written, those two books never did as well as Jason’s Tale which reached #1 in both Post Apocalyptic and Dystopian categories on Amazon. The re-write is tighter, faster paced, and sharper focused while […]
It’s been quite a year. I can say without reservation that our 2018 Christmas was much less stressful than 2017. Last year I was in the final stages of my cancer treatment which consisted of daily radiation and weekly chemo infusions. Thankfully that is all behind me now. As I said once before, you don’t […]
Revisions & polishing done I’ve completed my final polishing of The Captive Girl. It’s an enjoyable, if slow process; took eight days. I read the text slowly, savoring each phrase and sentence. I’m looking for inappropriate words; ones that miss what I’m aiming for, or ones that are too bland, or ones that are redundant. An author […]
After much consideration and advice from trusted friends, I’m rewriting the two “Catherine’s Tales” and will be taking the current books off the market. That is a pretty radical move (especially for me) but I’ve never been fully satisfied with the two stories. First, they work better as one book, but the tale grew so […]
What a momentous week! And I’m not talking about politics. I completed the first draft of “The Captive Girl” and finished reviewing the audio book for “The Shaman“. My goal was to complete the first draft by end of September. I was a few days late, but not too far off target. I now go into […]
