Chronicles

I’m working on it :)

Hey, everyone :)   Well, I'm getting a lot of e-mails and posts from people wondering when Checkmate is going to be released. So, I thought I'd address this now. I'm working on it. More than halfway done. I could rush it, get it done in a week or two, but I won't like it and you probably won't either. With that being said, I'm just going to keep working on it and making it a book that does the series justice. Any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to write me :) Also, for those of you who have offered chocolate and… Read More

Interested in Publishing a book?

Over the past year I've received a great deal of email from aspiring writers asking for advice on publishing. They've asked about the pros and cons of going the traditional route as well as inquired about self-publishing. While I've tried to take the time to answer their questions and help guide them in the right direction, I'm afraid that it's not enough. I wish that I could do more to help you. At some point when I master this industry and have some time I plan on writing an e-book to help those of you who would like help,… Read More

Checkmate: A Neighbor From Hell Novel Update

I know a lot of you are waiting for the next NFH book so I thought that I would let you know how things are going right now. This book is my main focus at the moment and will remain that way until it's finished. That being said, I should probably tell you that I think this might be longer than the previous two books. The reason for that is that I want to incorporate the Bardfords in this book, but I don't want them to be the main focus. A NFH book just wouldn't feel right without the… Read More

My Unofficial Bosses…….

First, I would like to thank all the support Tall, Dark & Heartless has received :) Thank you for your e-mails and comments :) I'm sorry that it's not available yet for ibooks :(  I'm waiting for Smashwords to approve it and distribute it to Apple. Hopefully it will be soon. It usually doesn't take long. Now for all of you that have enjoyed the book, I think that it's only fair that you know the reason.

Lieve Van den Heuvel and Maura O'Beirne-Stanko

For more than two weeks they put in long hours reading and editing. Granted, they also… Read More

Tall, Dark & Heartless is here……….but with a few delays

Tall, Dark & Heartless was released on Tuesday to Smashwords, B&N, and Amazon.com. As some of you have noticed, it's not at ibooks yet. It will be, but since ibooks has a very difficult system set up for selling books I had to go through Smashwords.com. Once they've approved my book for distribution it will be sent out to ibooks, Sony and the rest of the stores. Unfortunately, it could take up to two weeks before it shows up in ibooks. I'm sorry about that. I wish that all the markets had it at the same time. I'm stalking Smashwords… Read More

Tall, Dark & Heartless: A Pyte Series Novel……..

Coming in April 2012..... Tall, Dark & Heartless Here's an excerpt, enjoy :) "Oh my god, you sick bastard!" Danni snapped as she struggled to hold onto the tree limb he'd left her on twenty minutes ago. "Stop being such a baby and get down here," he said, gesturing impatiently once again for her to simply let go of the limb and float the thirty or maybe it was more like eighty feet down here. It was really a simple concept and he couldn't for the life of him figure out why she was having such a tough time of it. "Get me down!"… Read More

Pay it 4ward Friday

Today I'm going to finish gathering old clothes to donate and tomorrow I'm going to drop them off at the donation box. I'd like to get it done today, but I'm going to be stuck inside most of the day finishing this book. I'm going to create a page for charities, if you know a noteworthy, LEGITIMATE charity please post here today. I will check it out and place it on the page sometime this week. If you post a charity that is urgent, i.e. a fundraiser for a child or something of that nature please let me know. This… Read More
