Preview

For those of you interested in seeing more of Life Coin, have no fear.  I have set up a preview of the first few pages here.  Much like the stories here that are included in Freaks, Geeks, and Scary Things, hopefully this preview will show you enough of my voice and style of the book that you will be intriqued to go further. 

Still working on the possible release of Life Coin on the Kindle, keep your eyes and ears open for the news!

New Arrival!

A few pieces of news for all you loyal fans out there.  First off those of you in the state of Wisconsin, get thee to the library.  I have been informed that both ‘Freaks, Geeks, and Scary Things‘ and ‘Life Coin‘ are available for loan.  I’m hoping this means that they should be open for intra-library loan, if they are not, then get on that librarian to order copies for your branch!  🙂 Also, there is now an Author’s Page available on Amazon.com for yours truly.  There is a bit of a bio and links to both books open for purchase on Amazon.

One final note before I close out for the night, we are currently looking into the possibility of these books coming available on the Kindle.  More to come on this soon… thanks for listening!

The work continues…

Well, we are moving along quite nicely.  The first proof of Life Coin has been checked over and we are awaiting the “proof 2.0” copy to arrive before we approve for the store to come online and sales to begin.

Meanwhile, Freaks, Geeks and Scary Things first proof copy has arrived.  It’s looking nice in its 2nd edition, and a little smaller this time around.  One proof down, whatever changes need to be made will be made and then after “proof 2.0” of that is done, we will be up and running!!

Thank you all for the continued support and purchasing as well as sending out invites to friends.  The prices are still going to be in the affordable range, since this day and age I can understand the need to budget.

Book Review: World War Z

In following with some other blogs and sites I’ve seen, I’ve come to the decision to write some reviews of moves and books that I enjoy in the hopes of increasing awareness or maybe just increasing the viewership/readership of them.

In my first review I am tackling the prose of Max Brooks and his novel “World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie Apocalypse”.  A warning this review may include spoilers, but I’ll try to keep the best for you to find. Continue reading

New Book Information

As I stated in the earlier post, the Freaks, Geeks, and Scary Things book will be available soon, but also there will a full length novel titled “Life Coin” coming shortly thereafter.  Here is a quick back cover description for you:

“Allie is a young woman who has had a lot happen to her.  She’s experienced love, motherhood, and tragedy.  Now she’s been sent on a search of the city for a way to save her life.  The only problem is she doesn’t know if she wants to find it. 

David, a young man on a quest to live, finds himself drawn into Allies world after a chance meeting on the bus.  He is soon thrust into a new path in life with her as his guide, bearing witness to the meaning of how love can ripple through time, affecting decisions like the flip of a coin.”

More information as it’s available… we are hoping for a mid May release, but as always will keep you informed.  Also, if you want a sneak peek, the cover image for “Life Coin” has been posted on my facebook fanpage  in the covers section.  Stay tuned!

Yet another update

Just wanted to make sure to keep all of you in the loop.  So far we are deciding on a cover to go with and the major renovation of formatting the book is finished.  Then it will just be a matter of getting the proofs together and then a short trip to actual publication.  We’re shooting for end of March release if not sooner.  As usual, updates will continue to be posted. Have a great weekend! 🙂
