One of the reasons I pursue writing is because I have a difficult time finding stories I like to read. Since I have such a…Continue reading The Stories I Write

Today is the first of five days that A Higher Purpose will be available as a free download. I checked its rank a little after two p.m. today and was pleased to find it listed in the top 100 lists of two of Amazon’s subcategories. Awesome! What’s really interesting about this is that while the vast majority…Continue reading News Roundup

Thought for the Day: If the Shoe Fits
A few weeks back, Richard and I took a rambling drive to Bryson City, NC. If you’ve never been, the scenery is lovely and the downtown has been “revitalized” (meaning, a bunch of people have moved into the area and opened shops that appeal to people just like them, not necessarily the native population). Anywho,…Continue reading Thought for the Day: If the Shoe Fits

Friday’s newsletter is going out today. I apologize for the delay. Unfortunately, it was unavoidable. I’m still trying to ease my way out of my old business to make time for writing, which means honoring those prior commitments. Hopefully, this won’t be an issue after the end of this month. *** My goal when I…Continue reading News Roundup
The Cover for A Wicked Love
As promised, here’s the cover for A Wicked Love, the second installment in the Witches of Cullowhee series. I know, the look is very different from the cover for the first story, A Higher Purpose, but the characters are different, so there ya go. The credit for the cover goes to Melody Simmons.
