New Website This is my first blog on my new website which I’ve finally gotten around to redesigning. The old one had become outdated and only partially functional–I couldn”t even post a blog. After exploring a couple of low-cost solutions, I bit the bullet, so to speak, and hired a professional designer. He runs a […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

For those of you who have been waiting for the paperback. It’s out now on Amazon. You can link to it here. Although I read a lot more ebooks since I received a Kindle reader as a gift, I still have a soft spot in my heart for a physical book. Seeing the proof copy […]
Off to the Editor I sent the manuscript off to an editor last week. He’ll take over 100 hours to go through it. It’s a very particular skill set and the author is definitely not the one to edit their own work. I’m sure I’ll need a hug and words of encouragement after I go […]
I recently signed a contract to produce an audio version of After the Fall: Jason’s Tale. The narrator is Gabriel Zacchai, a folk singer/writer, teller of stories and book narrator from Maine. He’s done two other book as far as I know and has an honest sounding, down-home voice that will bring Jason alive. Check […]
