Poetry

The planet turns …
and night falls.
We are all moved.

Magical Realism

If you enjoy magical realism where the supernatural has been with us all along, hiding behind misty veils, waiting for its perfect moment to make prey of us, then check out my Butterfly series. The third and final installment was just published.

Soul of the Butterfly

The third and final book in my dark urban fantasy series has been published. This was definitively a labor of love. It was difficult and took me much longer than I expected. I feel a great weight removed now that it's finished.

The ending is quite impactful and emotional, and I am eager to hear what people think of it.

Please give it a read and a review and as always, comments are welcome.

Ebooks

I am not much into ebooks. I know they are the wave of the future, and it is very cool to think of being able to carry around a library with you wherever you go. I will not deny how neat that is.

I also see a better future for writers with greater ease in publishing and greater ease for readers. It is not as costly to be published electronically, but it does still cost. Life still continues to cost, too. Authors gotta eat, yo!

This trend from the general public for artistic endeavors (writing, painting, photography, etc.) to be free or almost free needs to stop. This whole thing with 'do it for the exposure' is a load of crap.

Ebooks are not expensive. The vast majority of them are less than $10, most of those less than $5, some of those less than one dollar! Yet, there still seems to be some uproar about why they should be distributed freely. Please consider my earlier sentence about the costs of living and artists needing to eat. As lovely and rewarding as creating may be, it still does not fill the belly.

I have books in my electronic library I will never read. I just bought them to show support, because they are so affordable. Let's all show support. That's much more satisfying than complaining.
