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.
