edit data

It started with reading. Then winning an award for an essay in eighth grade.
Then it was poetry and writing a column in a student newspaper. Then a college newspaper as assistant editor, and editor of a literary magazine.
Life got complicated but I never stopped creating, never stopped writing. Now I write a column for a local newspaper and have three published novels with more in the works.
Facebook has been an opportunity to connect with other authors and to host a page called Marketing for Indies. The page is new and is being well received.
Life is odd - I never thought I would live in Costa Rica yet here we are.
Odd.

R.J. Roder answered V.L. Stuart's question: Is there a book 2 of Carver Chronicles? I'm glad you enjoyed the first book. I'm currently writing the first draft for the second book called Sins of Metal. I anticipate publishing sometime in late spring of 2026.

The only reason I gave this book one star is because I cannot give it the ZERO star it deserves. It begins as a novel that will be anti-human trafficking, but devolves into pornography - and not very good pornography. I am very familiar with the traff ...more
