Awards and Rewards

This has been an award-winning year so far in many ways. Perhaps the brightest spot was winning the Best Sci-Fi Series Award by the Texas Association of Authors. This was all about the Host Saga featuring Van Childs and his fight to prepare and save mankind from a ruthless, world…

What Have I Been Doing?

So, what have I been doing you ask? At least some people have asked. The truth is I’ve been consumed this year by writing Book 4, New Horizons, and working on my other job as a leadership coach. Did I mention that I have also been working on a very…

An Author Interview Experience

I recently participated in my first media interview. Thought I would never do one, but ended up doing two! I met Rob Brown of For Book Lovers Only at a Texas Authors marketing event in Houston several months ago. He interviews authors on both TV and radio and has studios…

My Latest Marketing Adventure

Just had a great marketing adventure in Houston, Texas. Many of you know I have never professed to be a very good marketer . . . it’s part of the life of an introvert. So, when the opportunity comes to sit and listen to LOTS of great information, I usually…

My Writing Adventure Message to Friends and Followers

My primary editor Tammy Salyer reminded me that I started this writing adventure just over two years ago with the objective of doing three books (then a trilogy) by September of this year. And, thanks to a lot of people, I can get there as planned. I may move the…

Kindle Scout Program and Campaign
