THE SEX SLAVE MURDERS: The True Story of Serial Killers Gerald and Charlene Gallego, my bestselling true crime book, reaches #8 on Kindle's Top 100 Bestsellers in Serial Killers True Accounts. Book was the inspiration for crime documentaries on the Biography Channel and Investigation…

"Paris was to become the staging ground for Hemingway's first 'one true sentence.'"

Then there was a young man who no longer wanted to pursue a traditional education. That young man would be my son, Harrison, whom we refer to as "Bear"…

We delayed a little on this to give the hardcover some time to sell, but I'm happy to say that my most recent novel (an April 2011 release) is now also available at the very modest price of $ 4.99.

The hope is, of course,  that Kindle sales will bring me new readers.  I have always believed that Kindle book purchases are made by a slightly…

Dear Mom,

For the one-thousandth time, NO, I'M NOT GOING TO GET A 'REAL JOB!' I don't need to. I just sold over 100,000 E-Books in 60 days. Yah, that's right mom. That's not a typo. No I'm not drunk again, and no I'm not smoking crack or puffing on whacky weed. I don't do drugs.



But I sold 100,000 books and I did it with the help of my new…

"The Blond Bombshell"

This might qualify as one of the more unusual guest blogs you're ever going to read at the Vox or anywhere else for that matter. But it was the brainchild of Boise-based author, Bri Clark, who herself is one of those rare creatures who…

I'm selling more books than Stephen King right now.

Ok....E-Books.

Kindle E-Books to be even more specific.

And I have been for about a month now since THE INNOCENT broke the Amazon Kindle TOP 100 and settled into the TOP 10 where it's been holding under the No. 5 spot for more than two weeks.



You with me here????



Believe me when I tell you, I am…

 Please excuse the double entendre, but we couldn't help it. These kinds of things don't come around every day you know. The fact that it's been SNOWING off and on here in Southern Oregon the last couple of days, and that a week ago today on April Fool's Day we got a surprise phone call from author Miranda Phillips Walker asking if she could come back home. Here's the backstory: Krill Press was founded in the fall of 2008 and our first title, "Absinthe Of Malice" by…

I might not be the most religious or spiritual guy on the planet, and chances are, on any given Sunday you won't find me occupying a church pew. Fact is you're more likely to find me tipping a cold one in some dark juke joint with friends after my writing day is over. But every now and then I meet someone who has an almost spiritual affect on me. A spiritual affect so profound that it can alter the course of my life. Noted noir author and critic, Heath Lowrance, is one of those special…

I just got a Kindle, I know I'm late. It's not that I was a hold out I just never got around to getting one but my wife and family bought me one for my birthday and I have to say I'm loving this thing. Now of course I still love printed books and always will but i have to say being able to carry a bunch of books around for easy reading on one little device is great! I already read a lot but now I can read even more! In the car, while waiting in lines, or if I just have about five minutes to…

I no longer have to write query letters to agents.

That part of my life is over. I have a great agent now and plan on spending the rest of my life with him. I can't tell you how happy that makes me.



I wasn't always good at writing agent query letters. It took a lot of practice honing the essential information I needed to include in the letter and to be…

GODCHILD...a story for the broken hearted that takes place where THE INNOCENT leaves off....

The battle is over, the bombs dropped, the shots fired, the smoke cleared, the dead lay scattered across the battlefield, the wounded picked up and carted out to the mobile hospitals. Me, I sit with my back up against the trench, face hot and dirty from the soil that sticks to my sweat, my breath beginning to even out, lit cigarette danging from trembling fingers.



Yesterday was the day I wanted to see if I could sell more books online than I could at a traditional signing. As you…

Well, it's more than a push...I'm doing a signing tonight at the Albany B&N for THE REMAINS, but I want to see at the same time, how many digital copies of THE INNOCENT I can sell at the same time. The  I will blog about the results. THE INNOCENT is in the midst of a Virtual Tour right now so StoneGate is offering it up for $.99 which is pretty much free. So hope you can help and download a copy ans see what happens....

Over the last year I have seen a considerable rise in the sales of my e books and on Kindle, which was revealed as the most popular e reader device and the fastest growing in the UK overtaking the Sony Reader. And for anyone who wants a bargain, for a limited period only, my e book publisher is offering my DI Andy Horton marine mystery crime novel…

Every year a new surprise breakout author rises up from the ashes of literary despair. In the past we've seen JK Rowling and James Frey fill the bill. But this year’s breakout author is different in some pretty remarkable aspects. Not only is she self-published, yet she works with an established literary agent. Her name is Amanda Hocking and she's a 26 year paranormal YA author who not only has one book listed on the USA Today Top 150 bestseller's List, she's got half a dozen.



Her…

The funny thing about newly re-released novels on Kindle and E-Book is that you can dust off some pretty tasty reviews that went largely unnoticed when the big ass publisher decided to remainder the book for one corporate reason or another...So here is a stellar review on my new release…
