Like the other day I was at an event and this woman came up, read the blurb on the back, and literally began JUMPING up and down squealing - and said, "I have to have this!"

(this happens at least once at every event and I love it!)

The second best thing is when someone reads your work and really GETS it, even if they don't go crazy about it. They get what you're doing and it touched them or made them think or engaged them in some way. That is very cool.(less)

I never got a good answer as to what happened or where he was all that time, and he never regained consciousness. Someone searching for what happened might make an interesting story.(less)

An update on The King of Hearts (and changes in 2018)!

I’ve finished the first draft of The King of Hearts: Part 4 of the Red Dog Conspiracy. But completing a first draft is just the beginning.
