Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who took part in the anniversary weekend celebration for Deadly Roses. The book reached #1 (USA) and #12 (UK) - It's highest rankings to date. I gave away copies of the just released audiobook, and the signed book giveaway here was a success. Congrats to the winners, Eric Egge of Minnesota and Mary Tharp of Maryland. Thank you again to everyone who took part in the fun!

Enter My Deadly Roses Anniversary Giveaway!
Enter my Goodreads anniversary giveaway for a chance to win one of TWO SIGNED COPIES of Deadly Roses. The one year anniversary of the release is on Valentine's Day. Since Sunbury Press admittedly botched the official launch, and then Covid-19 took over the world, this great story was quickly forgotten. The book has received great reviews globally and I hope you'll join me in this anniversary celebration!

Over $3,000 raised for The American Cancer Society
I can't put into words what a great time we had Saturday night in Tampa. Joe Abel and I thank everyone for coming out and we also thank Bootleggers Brewing Company for putting on a great event. The place was very nicely set up and it was hopping all night.
So many great people where there - I can't even remember everyone. I saw some old fans and met a lot of new ones too. Lissie, Greg Greenland, Debra, Jon, Elizabeth, Michael, and Mark Boswell even made a Facetime appearance. I'm sorry if I forgot anyone, I met so many great people I can't remember everyone.
The staff was great and really, the entire night was pretty awesome. When all was said and done, before we packed it up for the night, we raise more than $3,000 for The American Cancer Society.
Thank you so much to EVERYONE who came out and was a part of it! I look forward to doing more work in the future with Kegs for a Cure. Visit my facebook page for all the pics and vids from the event. Thank you again to EVERYONE. What a great time!

Have a great weekend!
It's been a week since I've posted on here. It doesn't look like anyone has missed me so that's good anyway. It's been a busy week with more marketing and promotions for the Amazon #1 New Release - Squared Circle, Full Circle.
If you are looking for a great thriller to read this weekend you should check out one of mine. I hear they are pretty good!
Have a great weekend everyone!
:)

September 11th
I never post anything on social media on September 11th. It's my way of remembering.
I am from New York City and happened to be visiting friends up there that very day.
My family is also filled with many generations of firefighters. That wasn't for me. As a kid, I could never understand why people would want to run INTO a burning building. As I got older, I began to understand exactly why they did what they did, and grew to have a huge amount of respect for them.
I have not watched any movies made about that day, nor do I look at any of the photos. I, like many other New Yorkers, lost friends that day. People who went to work in the morning and had no idea it was going to be their last day alive. It's a sad day for me because my country was attacked, my city was attacked and ravaged, and my friends died.
I don't forget about what happened in DC or Pennsylvania either. I just happened to be in my home town that day, so that's what my mind remembers.
No matter where you were that day, no matter what region of the country's tragic events weigh most on your mind, never forget.

Satisfaction
Squared Circle, Full Circle had a very successful opening weekend launch. I want to thank everyone who took part in one way or another, especially those who made a purchase.
This is my first (and last) biography and that coupled with recently breaking away from my publishing company, I really didn't know what to expect. Having it hit #1 New Release on Amazon surely wasn't something I was expecting and I can only hope that the people at my former publishing company were paying attention and see what they missed out on.
There is still a lot of work to do for the book as far as marketing goes and I'll tackle that this week. I have to admit though, it's a GREAT feeling knowing how well the book was accepted and that publishing company got nothing out of it. Sometimes there IS justice in the world!

New review for an older book
I recently noticed a new review has come in for my first novel, On Ice. It was on the Amazon UK site and I was a bit surprised to see it because reviews don't come in for that book much anymore, because it's about four years old.
The review read:
"Stunning
A suspenseful read with intriguing characters and just the right amount of twists and turns. I will definitely be reading more from this author."
That's a very nice review for what is absolutely not my best work. I've developed into a much better writer since then and will eventually go back and make changes to that one to make it a little better (in my opinion.)
The reviews for it have been mostly positive, so I must have done at least a decent job on it originally. Still, I feel it should be tightened up a bit and will do so in the near future. I love the story though, so that won't change at all.
Thank you for the review, Luka!

Unbelievable Opening Day For Squared Circle, Full Circle
I am still in shock over the results that came in yesterday for the official launch of my biography Squared Circle, Full Circle.
The paperback was named the #1 new release yesterday afternoon. Later on last night the kindle was given the same distinction. It also reached #2 overall in the wrestling category last night.
As I write this it is sitting at #1, #4, #16, and #18 in different categories. I'm hoping we can bump that 4 to another #1 by days end.
Thank you so much to everyone who has liked, shared, or purchased a copy. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!
