Finished book two

Just completed the second book in the Paleface trilogy, this one's called How To Zero.

 

Wasn't sure it was finished until I saw the words 'The End' appear, as if typed by someone else...

 

What a long, slow process this all is.  I've written the first two novels over six months and now... I've got to wait, get fresh eyes and read them both and edit them both and give them to others to read to make sure they make sense before I even think about who to send them…

SHAKESPEARE'S BLOOD Is Here!

Waaaaay back in 2007, we were driving in the hills of West Virginia, two innocent tourists, when my phone rang. "Your book, SHAKESPEARE'S BLOOD, has been chosen as a finalist in Amazon's Breakout Novel Contest," someone informed me. Well, that changed the tenor of conversation in that car, as you can well imagine.

Another Cool Review

Because she is such a dedicated fan I've posted Dawn Thomas' comments as this week's featured review on my web site -… Continue

Hook, Line and Sinker!

For Dan Coleman, et al...

 

About a year ago I opened up the first page of the novel I just started reading and it said:



It was one hell of a night to throw away a baby (Julia Spencer-Fleming)



And whoa nellie, I was hooked! And you want to know the interesting part? I had JUST read a how-to book that said never, never, ever, start a book with "IT". As a reader, I couldn't have disagreed more - I was completely wrapped up in this baby. Why was the baby…
