Thank you so much for your interest in reading the Davia Glenn series. The idea for this story began when I was a prosecuting attorney and a person I convicted, who made death threats against me, was being released from prison. My training with a former CIA operative led me to create my protagonist, Davia Glenn.

Adventures in Vellum for PC Users

To format my fiction book, I chose to use Vellum.

What is Vellum? It’s a program that allows you to create print and ebooks, but only if you own a MAC—which I don’t.

If you don’t own a MAC, you can create an account with MacinCloud. The site offers pay-as-you-go or monthly plans you can cancel at any time.

You will also have to purchase Vellum to generate your books, and the cost is $199.99 for ebook

Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake
"I know of no author in all of the English language who is like Peake, or who could aspire to be like him. His voice is as unique as that of Milton, Bierce, Conrad, Blake, Donne, or Eliot, and as fully-realized. I am a hard and critical man, cynical a" Read more of this review »
