Another Cool Review

I like to share comments I receive about my work. Today I want to introduce Ed Davis.

Ed picked up a copy of The Payback Assignment the last time I signed books in Richmond VA. He later wrote to me giving his opinion of the book, which was so positive I couldn't resist using his comments as this week's featured review on my web site.

Read Ed Davis' review of The Payback assignment. - Then order your copy!…

Author Update

My return to Virginia picked up where I left off here. I sold out at Borders in Manassas as I had at my last two local dates. It was a fun two-hour event in the middle of a great weekend.

Another Cool Review

Nicole Burton published a very positive review of my book "Successfully Marketing Your Novel in the 21st Century" on Amazon.com. And she knows what she's talking about. Two years ago she started his own publishing company to publish her book "Swimming Up the Sun: A Memoir of Adoption." Because she frankly discussed what she gained from reading my marketing manual, I have added Nicole's comments to my web site as this week's featured review. Read it at … Continue

Artificial Intelligence

Computers are marvelous tools. As a writer I'd have a hard time living without them, but they are not infallible. For example, if you try to force a disc into place before the machine is ready to accept it you could destroy the port. As it turns out, "RAM disk" is not an installation procedure.…

The Latest

Mystery lovers greeted me warmly in Ohio, but their tastes varied in an interesting way. Friday when I signed my novels at Borders at the Dayton Mall My latest novel, Russian Roulette, sold out first and a couple of my other books didn't sell at all. Saturday at Waldenbooks at the Lima Mall I signed some of each title, with Blood and Bone stores had in common was pleasant and receptive customers, and very nice managers. It was a good time, both times.



In other news, a great review of… Continue

The Cost of Wisdom

Over the years I've learned not to get too excited when things are going my way. That way it's easier not to get depressed when things go wrong. And those years have taught me to be thankful to those who help, when things go well AND when things go badly. Valuable
learning, except for the "years" thing.

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

Another Cool REview

I like to share comments I receive about my work. To day I want to introduce Omar Adam. He wrote to me to say how much he enjoyed my novel, Blood and Bone, and unlike many readers, he was able to tell me exactly why.

The Fan

A number of crises in the last week caused me to put in lots of extra hours at the day job. Senior leaders catch heat when things go wrong, but life heats up for those of us in the public affairs business with any news, good or bad. The winds of political change and beaurocratic response blow unevenly.…

Author update

At Saturday's book signing I was reminded that everything old is new again. Much has changed since books were ordered at the Borders Express in Columbia Mall. I met a new manager and assistant manager when I got there. So I was able to impress them a little when I sold out of my novel Russian Roulette in less than two hours.



In other news, my intrepid support team has established a brand new author page on…

Another Cool Review

I like to share comments I receive about my work. Today I'd like to introduce you to James Knight. We met Saturday at the Virginia Festival of the Book but he was already a fan.



Actually, it was James' wife Robin who bought my novel Russian Roulette for him. Later he wrote me a very complimentary email about the book. I love getting that kind of note, but it was even more exciting when James and Robin walked up to me at the Virginia Festival of the…

Nuts!

I probably have a broader and more varied family than most but I think every family has a spectrum. Meaning that among those people you love there are probably some you don’t understand real well, who are a bit… eccentric. Maybe even difficult.

I figure families are like fudge . . . mostly sweet, with a few nuts. But we need to remember that today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
