The Goodreads Giveaway… too good to be true? I’ve walked the halls of Goodreads… and I’ve learned a few things

If you’ve ever wandered through the digital aisles of Goodreads, you’ve seen those shiny little banners promising free books. It’s the kind of offer that makes you pause. Free? Really? The idea of snagging a novel for nothing sounds magical. Sometimes the magic is real. medium.com/the-pub/the-...

I just received a touching fan letter for an older novel of mine- Now I know how Jane Austen feels* *Author disclaimer- yes, I know Jane Austen is 250 years old.

I visited the lovely city of Bath, where many of Jane Austen’s stories take place, I happened to be there the weekend of her 250th birthday celebration. To say the City of Bath likes their favorite author would be an understatement-
Now I know how Jane Austen feels. 😊

I am excited that my new novel, Tears of a Thousand Years, can be pre-ordered right now, from all booksellers. The audiobook will prerelease in February.
Many people asked me if my previous novel, Desperate Endeavor, had an audio book, never made an audio edition- so Tears is going to have one!

This hit me pretty hard. Some people don't know I was a paramedic for over 30 years. I have sat with the homeless under overpasses, in alleys, in parking lots behind the dumpsters, everywhere they live when their luck runs out. Thank you Union Rescue Mission.

Seen in my travels through Wales. This is the royal observatory at Swansea. Yes I know it's small- but perhaps mighty, nonetheless. The 2 small hills in the background, at the mouth of the bay, may be the reason why the neighboring community of Mumbles got it's name.
