Prepare
for the adventure of a lifetime!
Middle school student Tim Madison’s
life gets crazy when a strange visitor takes him aboard a magnificent spaceship
to train to prevent a future war. Ruthless aliens called Tarnacki are constructing
a massive extermination army deep inside Earth readying to unleash a shocking
attack and no one can see it coming!
Returned home Tim races against the
odds to formulate a plan to protect the world. Danger escalates quickly! Time
becomes his enemy! He must do something truly incredible and fast! But even
risking everything to stop the Tarnacki isn’t enough! It requires selfless acts
of bravery that he never could have imagined! Can he stop the invasion before
all humanity is destroyed?
AFTER
Entering the afterlife is like joining a syndicate. There are rules, regulations, and immortal entities in positions of great power. The devil, who has been banished to the lower levels for eternity, craves this power and will do anything to attain it. Including destroying all of humankind.
Nick’s soul is sent back to the world of the living and into the body of a high ranking soldier. He must stop the devil from inciting a nuclear catastrophe and forming a zombie attack force from the newly dead. When the body Nick occupies is executed for treason, he discovers a horrifying secret about his own origins that may destroy everything he’s fighting to save. Has everything he’s been led to believe about the hereafter been a lie?

Times are a changing!
As most authors now know Amazon is going to start paying
authors for the amount of pages read and not for each complete book. I’m not
certain how I feel about this. On the plus side, it could free readers up to
explore more books if they are only going to pay for it if they like it. On the
negative, most casual readers never finish a book or do it over a long period
of time. And how about if readers skip a section? What will it do to royalties?
Of course, there are other options for authors. You can
publish with Smashwords or through any of the other hundreds of ebook outlets.
But let’s face it, Amazon is king! I’m not sure how this new policy is going to
change the publishing industry but it will change it. And then what’s next,
paying musicians for how much of a song is listened to?
I, like hundreds of thousands of others, am a slave to
Amazon and how they control their merchandise. The industry is changing and I
will be forced to change with it. I am an author who needs an outlet to reach
his audience and almighty Amazon is my king.

Storming the marketplace!
It’s been a long while since I last posted and a lot of changes
have happened in my life, but now I’m back! I’m oiling up the promotion machine
and getting my books out there. First, I totally re-edited and re-wrote my
entire middle grade sci-fi series THE GALACTIC WARRIOR series. Three books
brimming with action, adventure, and wild aliens. I’m giving away the first
book in the series, SILENT INVASION from June 25-29 on Amazon, so if you haven’t
read a copy now’s your chance to see what the hype is all about.
Next, I’ve scheduled several promotions for DROP OUT which
is my bestselling novel to date (more than 10,000 copies sold). One is with
Riffle Books, another with People Reads, and another with FKBT. I’m also running
a free promotion for AS IT IS IN HEAVEN, my inspirational/philosophical
novella. This intense story has touched so many lives I’d rather the book be
read by everyone rather than making a few bucks off the story. The free
promotion for this one starts June 23-27.
And last, I’m also running a free promotion for my
paranormal adventure AFTER. This runs from June 24-28. I know that for now I’m
giving away three of my books but that is in the hope that readers will like my
style and my can’t-put-me-down stories and get interested in my other seven
books.
All this promotion aside, I’ve also started the outline for
the second book in THE END TIME series and written notes for my planned wildly
eclectic philosophical adventure NEVER BORN. I’ll be working on both manuscripts
throughout the summer.
One more thing that I think is worth mentioning… recently I’ve
seen a lot of authors continually re-titling and redesigning their covers. Some
even use a pseudonym pretending to be a different author. These writers are
taking advantage of the marketplace by falsely claiming a new title has been
written and then making a quick sale off unsuspecting fans. I absolutely abhor
this practice. I do believe authors should continually update and revise their
manuscripts as errors are pointed out but to blatantly proclaim a new book was
written is just hogwash. I still believe that books are an author’s work of art
and once titled should be held in that regard. There may come a time when
standards and the marketplace force me to change the covers of my books but the
title and more importantly my real name will always be the same underneath.
Thank you very much.
