Independent Once Again
I'm sure you've heard that old saying of "be careful what you wish for." Well, unfortunately, I've had that come into my life several times over the last few years. One of the biggest disappointments was signing with a traditional publishing company.
I did my homework ahead of time and everything was on the up and up. I was so excited.
To make a long and painful story short, here's the lesson for you - when promises are made before the contract is officially signed... make sure that every single one of those promises is included in the content of the contract. In the end, in the legal world, the only thing that matters and can be enforced is the content in that contract. If the promises made prior to signing the contract are not included in the written word, they simply don't exist. This means you have no recourse to force the publishing company to honor their word.
Truth be told, I've had a lot more success on my own, and have proven this true once again in the short time I've been independent again.
Thank you to everyone who reads my books, has read them, and will read them in the future.

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!

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!
