Things to come

This Saturday I'll be at the Omni Hotel in Boston, MA with a wonderful and very talented group of authors :) I'm looking forward to meeting many of you this weekend. Many of you have inquired about books being available this weekend. I have a limited amount of books available this weekend. I have four boxes and at this point I don't know how many of each that I have. The books will be available while they last for a ten dollar donation. I am doing a book swap for a donation. The donation will go to the Massachusetts chapter… Read More

Playing for Keeps is being featured by Apple

Got some great news from Smashwords.com today. Apple is featuring Playing for Keeps along with many great titles as a Breakout Book. The New York Times and Smashwords.com wrote about Apple's new feature if you'd like more information or you can see a complete list here. It's wonderful news and I just can't thank Apple, Smashwords or the readers enough. Thank you so much for your support over the past year. Everyone has been truly wonderful and it has meant a great deal to me and my family :) -R.L.… Read More

Two things…….

First thing: We are trying to find a place that will either match our donation of teddy bears, give us a discount, free shipping, etc. I am trying to get Disney.com to help us out, because they do a lot of great work to help out kids and I think their established characters like Pooh, Eeyore, Mickey, etc. have an established history and trust with children that will help the surviving children of Newtown, CT feel comforted and let them know that they are not alone. If anyone could help us out by contacting Disney either by email, phone, whatever… Read More

A little break…

Dear Readers, This past summer I struggled with the decision to take a temporary retirement.  It wasn’t something that I wanted to do, and I did everything that I could to put it off so that I could finish Checkmate. A few times, I didn’t think that I was going to be able to finish the book.  I sat down and started an announcement similar to this one, apologizing for not being able to complete it. It was something that Christi and I had to discuss on a weekly basis. Every single day I live in pain.  I have several non-life-threatening… Read More

I did something very bad……

Since next week is a very busy time for all of us and we'll be in Florida, busy stalking Eeyore and Mickey Mouse, we decided that perhaps we'd start Checkmate for Charity early. If you want to earn your copy of Checkmate with a good deed, please write on a sign and stick it in the picture of your good deed. It must say, "Checkmate for Charity-Pay it Forward" Your good deed has to be a real good deed. Not flipping off your annoying neighbor does not count, lol. Donate food, blankets, blood, volunteer somewhere, etc. Those are great good deeds.… Read More

Orlando, Florida Book Signing

A couple of updates :) The signing will be in Orlando, Florida at the Courtyard Marriot on International Drive on November 5, 2012 at 2pm. There will be a Q&A session as well as a giveaway. Bad news, we will not be selling books as originally planned. We don't have a vendor's license as well as a few other problems. We will be using cover photos instead. We will have a few books on hand to give away :) We hope to see you there… Read More

Latest news about Checkmate……

Well, Checkmate is done :) We are just working on editing it right now. Our deadline for edits is the 22nd so that we can get the paperback set up as well as be ready for the release date. There are some changes to the release dates. Originally we were going to run Checkmate for Charity for twenty days and hold off publishing the book for sale. Although we have received a lot of interests in that deal, most readers have experessed a desire to wait to purchase the book.… Read More

Here we go again….sorry

Sorry about the double posts tonight. I just wanted to announce that the prices of the books have to be brought back down to $0.99. I found out that the prices of my books vary all over the internet right now. Amazon is starting to pull the books because of a price contract break or something like that. Basically, Amazon doesn't want to have the higher price and I don't blame them. I tried to fix them, but the other sites haven't received the price change from Smashwords which distributes the books, and since I don't like drama, I am… Read More
