This month I got my best ever ranking: 19,369. That's damned good! Tales also keeps hitting the Best Sellers ( Read more... ) -

The Seven Adventures of Cadida
Coming soon from Sam's Dot Publishing!
The Seven Adventures of Cadida
A series of seven tales about a girl and her recalcitrant djinn. This is for young 'uns. My reports are that six-year-olds love to have it read to them and 'get it'. Kids 10 and up can read it on their own. Adults enjoy the over-the-head references that the kids don't ( Read more... ) -
Acceptance and Review
I last reported hopeful on a story submission. It has been accepted by Stories for Children for a January publication.
The review for my Tales of a Texas Boy is also getting out and about. It was posted by the reviewer on Barnes & Noble, but Amazon is lagging as they check whether the review has bad words in it. It does not.
So, to expedite ( Read more... ) -
Nano and other stuff
My output is dropping off on Nanowrimo. When I think I could have all my characters tell their life stories, then I know I'm running out of steam.
As of today, I've got 19,000 words. Do I have another 31K in this tale or not?
One of my short stories is in the 3rd round a editorial decision-making. I've got a good feeling about it. The first two ( Read more... ) -
A Post for the Sake of a Post
Since folks in LJ quite often post just to keep up with posting, I figured I needn't wait to have a reason, so I'll just go ahead with this.
I have been doing the Nanowrimo like a zillion others. Why not? Anyway, I'm working on the 3rd installment of a series about a teen witch. Yeah, everybody and their Dalmation has done it before. The problem ( Read more... ) -

Kindle Edition of my book now available
"First Duty," my science fiction adventure for young adults, was published in June by Sam's Dot Publishing. They have the print rights. However, since I own the electronic rights, I created a Kindle edition.
If you haven't heard of Kindle, it's Amazon.com's electronic text reader. Virtually all new books are coming out in Kindle editions as well ( Read more... ) -
Published Stories - free to read
Once I've published a story, sometimes it's worn out it's welcome. That is, reprints are rare. I'm sorting through my published stuff and posting up on a place called ISSUU. You might want to check it out, since quite a few small publishers and magazines use this site for free content.
Here's a couple of stories I've put up to be read at your ( Read more... )
