Okay, so here we are entering the second week of July and my sales have remained relatively stagnant since the Fourth of July. I’ve explored all the free promotion sites, and forums and threads. I’ve placed sponsorships with Kindle Nation Daily, Kindle Fire Department, Kindle Boards, and various smaller indie websites. I’ve manage to write on average three blog posts a week and have over 170 followers (thanks everyone) and almost 200,000 hits. I’m active on Authors Den, Goodreads, Shelfari,…

An action/thriller about an abduction in the dessert on the west coast of Africa.  Hungry, thirsty and hunted by one lonely remaining predator, the rich British businessman and the poor South African widow almost lost their lives but escaped and then found themselves in the Highlands of Scotland, where their abductors caught up with them, bend on revenge.…

Arthurian epic GLASTONBURY: A Novel of the Holy Grail, is available FREE on Amazon 10-12 July.

The Holy Grail lies somewhere in Glastonbury!



When Joseph of Arimathea and his little band of pilgrims sought asylum from Roman persecution they fled to Glastonbury—and carried with them the most sacred relic in all of Christendom.



This tiny, sheltered corner of Britannia—this holy "Isle of Avalon"—was also a place of refuge when King Arthur and his knights fought off the…

It is extraordinary how often people cannot spell, yet they want to be a writer.  I am quite frequently asked to glance through a typescript, and it is amazing how many spelling mistakes are made.  Punctuation mistakes are even worse.  Any others feel the same way ?

Well, things are happening as they say. Editing complete, the book now moves to proofreading. Front cover art finally settled...a bit of back and forth there. And, the book is now on B&N and Amazon for pre-ordering. This may all work out after all....

Lately, I’ve been contemplating the future of writers in today’s high technology society. What will become of us and the books we write? Will the paperback go the way of the compact disk? Will publishing houses disappear the way most record labels have? Will the paperback book become a lost art? I don’t know, but one thing I do know is that there will always be writers and there will always be stories to tell. What is uncertain, is what medium will sell those stories. I have several theories…

The biggest challenge an author faces is how to be a seller. By starting close to home, I found it was an unexpected amount of fun.



I wrote my memoir A Book of Kells in 2003 to get my life together in a broad perspective that would interest all people of all time. If I had any talent it was with a pen.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable fourth of July even if we were baking under the hot sun. This is the first summer we have had an air conditioner in our home. I do enjoy the relief it gives me from the heat. Last year we spent so much of the summer chasing the shade in our front yard that I was having trouble working on a book. This summer I can enjoy being inside and am coming along well on the fifth Amish book in my Nurse Hal Among The Amish series. State tuned for new details as I get…

Enjoy!

That has to be the best way to give a book steam once it's released.  A publisher can send a truckload of novels to Barnes & Noble or Amazon.com and give it the best marketing blurb in the world.  But, unless the reader picks up the book and is moved enough to suggest it to a friend or acquaintance, that book will more than likely sit on the proverbial shelf and collect dust.…
