Hi! - I've been away for quite a few months both because of personal issues and because my old PC died, and I had to buy a new laptop and get it running. I've uploaded the cover of a chapbook published in Feb.2008 by Pudding House Publications. Thanks, if you're interested. Ted

A Sequel is Born!

'A Study in Red- The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper' is apparently selling rather well. I received an e-mail to this effect from my publisher last weeek, and when I told him I was intending to write a sequel, he immediately replied with an acceptance of the manuscript of the new novel for publication, even though it is as yet unwritten. What a wonderful thing to happen! I'm very flattered that the publisher thinks enough of my work to make me the… Continue

Finding People

Having a review site is much more challenging than first anticipated.

The need and desire for authors to have their books showcased and talked about

is a living, breathing thing.

Reviews are sought with an encompassing passion and earnestness yet is tempered with

worry and wonder.

Will the review be good or indifferent and is the format unique and complimentary or cookie-cutter and mired in synopsis?

There are review sites… Continue

HOT LOVING

HOT LOVING

Heat me Up...

Dear Wizthom,

Things always heat up when you're around. All I have to do is see your handsome face, and my heart throbs. And when I think of all of the incredible things we can do together fire sizzles through my body and I become hot and steamy, wanting only to throw you upon the bed and bury your manhood deep inside of me. And when we make love , I'm consumed with the fire that only you can put out, delighted in rapture's flames… Continue

The cost of spaying / neutering

I recently adopted a kitten from a cat shelter.

When she was old enough I decided to have her spayed.

I could have gone to the shelter clinic, but the nearest shelter clinic is 30 miles away, and because I don't have a car and rely on public transportation, I thought it best to take a cab to a private veterinarian.

From what I had heard spaying a cat would cost me between $45 - $80.

Imagine my surprise when, after the operation, I was presented with a bill of… Continue

Getting Your Book Reviewed

Kind words about your work can be placed on the back or front cover, or inside the book. Usually reviews are punctuated within quotes.

Pre-publication reviewers can be found by searching Google or links found on my website and in Links for the Independent Writer. Since there are time constraints, a fee is often, but not always, charged. Different reviewers ask for… Continue

Free read - Insubordination

This is a free short story set around the middle of 'Captain's Surrender'. Unlike the book, it's a foray into erotica without a great deal of plot, because you can't fit a lot of plot into 2,000 words :)

For the sake of their lives and careers, Josh and Peter agreed to put their need for one another behind them. But then a luxurious and sensual dinner together becomes foreplay, leading Josh to an act of insubordination that Captain Peter Kenyon will never forget.…
