The confusion over Truce……

Let me start off by saying that this is totally, 100% Jenn's fault!

Yup, that's right. I blame Jenn for this. 

Having said that, the release date for Truce has been moved from December 3rd to November 1st……...

This Friday ;)

The book has a historical setting, however, I wrote it so that it should be enjoyable even if you really hate historical books. This is the original Bradford, so if you love the Bradford boys you might be interested to see how it all started. 

 

The book is up for pre-sale at iBookstore, B&N, Kobo, etc. It is not up for pre-sale at… Read More

And the release date for Truce is…….

I originally hoped to have Truce, the next Neighbor from Hell novel out in late October/early November, but I've decided to push that off for several reasons: 1. I don't want to rush the book and give you something that is not worthy of the Bradford name. 2. I've decided to run a very interesting giveaway to coincide with the release, which I'll get to in a minute. 3. This way I don't have to rush my beta readers, editors or proof readers and they won't be forced to hunt me down and beat… Read More

Truce: A Neighbor From Hell………… The Original Neighbor from Hell

Just an update :)

Working full time on the next Pyte/Sentinel book, but in my spare time I am finishing up a book that is nearly finished, the Historic Neighbor from Hell. This book a light historic novel written in my usual style.

This is how it all began, the Bradford appetite, the quirks, arrogance and tendency to drive women insane.

Need a little support….and advice on how to sabotage someone’s diet :)

Part of my plan to return to work is to handle my health issues on the side, but with a little fun :) A few of my author friends (L.D. Davis & Lisa M. Harley) want to lose weight, get healthy, raise money for some great charities and screw each other over for fun :) My charities are The Ronald McDonald House and The Make A Wish Foundation. I'm hoping raise an obscene amount of money for these great causes and I could really use your help and support. Below you'll find our release for this challenge that starts on May… Read More

What’s going on in the crazy world of R.L. Mathewson

Black HeartThings have been pretty hectic lately, but I wanted to give you a few updates while I had the chance. Let's see, first things first. As some of you know I took a medical leave a few months ago to take care of some of medical issues that were causing me problems and to focus on my family. Well, I got some things taken care of like a few dental problems thanks to an awesome dentist, but the other stuff like my ruptured disc is taking forever to fix because… Read More

The good, the bad and the ugly about Self-Publishing

When I first started writing back in 2009 I never even heard of self-publishing. I was all set and terrified to take my chances with  a traditional publishing house, leaving my fate to someone that I had never met who would decide whether or not my books were "In" at the moment. By the time that I was ready to start making inquiries into getting published I got scared, really scared. I found a hundred and one reasons not to even try so I didn't. Instead I put my finished manuscript aside and started… 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
