Progress Report

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:09:00 -0500

OKay, now that Residence of Darkness has been completed for some time now, I have been re-working it and editing it until I cannot stand to look at it anymore. Also, I have started a new novel called "MAGELINGS" It's the story of two 13 year old boys from very different walks of life who find themselves in a magickal adventure to save a dying empire from starvation, disease and an evil Queen plotting the destruction of her own people. It is coming along quite nicely and it's a fun and exciting book so far. ;)

I have added a new function to my page also, you can now purchase original oil paintings from me. They are 16X20 on pre-stretched canvas and they are all for sale. Head to the page entitled "Art for Sale" to pick up one in time for the Holidays.

Seasons Greetings.

Hey everyone.

As some of you may have noticed, the Guestbook page was disabled recently, due to the amount of SPAM somehow getting posted. I am working on the problem, and trying to get some sort of security filter.

On a brighter note, Prelude to Destiny has been aprroved and will ready for sale on Amazon.com within the next week or two. It can already be purchased on my website for $15,99.

I am 1/4 done writing my newest novel, Residence of Darkness. At this rate, I do expect its completion in the middle of August.

Prelude to Destiny Now Available

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 02:23:00 -0400

I realized that I would not be able to submit Prelude to Destiny to a traditional publisher, because it has already gone to print from PA. Since that book is no longer available, I have decided to self publish a second edition, so people can purchase it.

It is available at my E-Store, and also Amazon.com for 14.95

Check out the page "The Enchanted Series" for more details.

-Cheers!!

Rights have been released back to me

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:34:00 -0400

After a brief battle with my "publisher," all rights to my books have been released back to me. I am in the process of self publishing my book, "TEXAN HEAT," and will be looking for a qualified agent to represent my novel, "Prelude to Destiny."

Seeking representation from an agent is a long process, but I will be posting the progress as it develops.

Thanks for all of the support you have shown me. :)

Sale for my book has been halted

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 12:42:00 -0400

Due to recent problems with my publisher, I have decided to halt sales, and formally request my contract back, so that I may seek out publication elsewhere.

Sorry for those of you who have waited for my book patiently, but unfortunately I am a nice person, who has let these people walk over me, and for the last time.

Blessings!
