I should probably mention my novel “A World Without Men”, a dystopian novel about an alternate reality. It received some very positive reviews and has been well-received. It had the most requests of any novel I’ve offered in a Goodreads giveaway. Here’s the link on Amazon:

Hello!

Just wanted to mention that I published a novel in November 2023 that I like a lot. It's called Boise Eclipse and it's about a former stripper, now owner of a strip club in Boise Idaho, who hatches a scheme to knock over a local bank with the help of a couple of ex-cons, the club's head bouncer, and the friend of one of the ex-cons. It's loaded with sex and violence, and a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor that, hopefully, will entertain the reader. Boise Eclipse: A Sexy Heist Thriller

I hope some of you will give it a chance.

I began writing again in 2013 and all I wanted to do was communicate with other souls, minds, and spirits. One of the first two novels I began work on was one I’d dreamed about writing for years: a historical novel about Buffalo Soldiers rescuing white soldiers in mortal danger, who, in turn, rescued the Buffalo Soldiers from certain death.
I abandoned it initially, realizing I didn’t know how to do the material justice, and wrote eight novels before taking it up again.
I’m blown away that “The Brothers Tremaine” has been drawing a steady stream of readers on Kindle Unlimited this year. My KENP pages read for the past three months has exceeded my expectation (and last year's entire total), as well as books sold, and I have no idea how or why, other than advertising on Amazon, which I began last year. All I can say is how grateful I am that I’ve found kindred souls who’ve found something worthy of their attention in my meager musings.
I remember telling my late college friend, Dr. Reginald Martin, Ph.D., MFA, of the University of Memphis upon the reading he sponsored at his home, that this was what I regarded as a historical fantasy; a pipe dream that could and would, in its best version, bring the races together, rooting for both the black and the white to prevail as one. I wanted white people rooting for the US Colored troops, and their representives Obadiah and Daniel Holder; and black people rooting for Jack and Justin Tremaine to prevail against the injustice they encountered in their respective worlds. I wrote the four brothers as versions of John Wayne, who became the iconic American hero of the movies from the 30s through the 70s.
I hoped, in my best vision, that I might help heal the rift between the races. A quixotic and unlikely hope, indeed.
I’m gratified that I’ve found readers for this vision and hope they’ve found something of value in my writing.
I want to thank each and every one of those who’ve taken a chance on one of my novels and to thank you for doing so. You make my effort worth having been taken. I’m grateful to you for doing so. You are what keeps me going.

I had a lot of fun with this video interview for Matthew Harms' podcast Pen For Hire. It's roughly 45 minutes and I talk about my writing journey, my 16 self-published novels of my current total of 29. I've begun outlining a 30th and continue seeking representation while trying to gain more readers through marketing.

It's been a while since I posted here. I've been querying a new novel. It was actually written in early 2018. Since I've been seeking representation to try for the brass ring, I've slowed my self-publishing in hopes of traditional.
I'm currently writing my 27th, a sci-fi about brain transplants.

Now available for presale for $8.99.

William Moreau rides a Harley from town to town, carries a .45 just in case, assisting in difficult cases that require a nurse with his experience. A secret from his past haunts him as he carries on providing compassionate care for all the patients he’s tasked with serving. He’s prepared to intervene in peoples’ lives far more than anyone expects.

Someone’s been killing nurses and now they’re stalking him. The life of anyone he cares about is in danger. When the killer is revealed, William tries to warn the police only to become the prime suspect. He flees the police to save a friend, intending to confront the killer and settle this once and for all.

Just reviewed my blog and realize how much I left out. Sheesh!
After writing Into the Vortex, I wrote:

World Without Men
Trans-Agent
Mountain High River Wide
The Liberty County Vanishings
and
Chinaman's Chance

And now I'm working on The Grand Master.

Right now, I'm kind of spinning, with the Kirkus Review coming out and the promotion I purchased, the Goodreads giveaway and reaching out locally for the first time.

I'd given up on Goodreads giveaways but after reviewing sales on KDP I realized that each time I did a giveaway I experienced a spike in sales and pages read. So while I did the giveaways primarily in hopes of garnering reviews that weren't forthcoming, sales are definitely welcome.

The one problem is that the $119 I paid to giveaway 100 copies, I would need to sell an additional 400 copies at $.99 each to net a slight profit.

Doh!!!!

Visited 2 local bookstores today to ask about doing an independent author reading. The meetings were enjoyable and each left a next step to be taken. Even though I failed to meet the decision maker, I liked both the people I met. I suspect one of them was a writer and the other seemed very interested in my current work, The Grand Master.
How often do you get to talk about the 15th century and how your novel is placed at the site of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the Mausoleum of Hallicarnasus?
My Kirkus Review will hopefully give my request credibility and result in store readings and in-store sales opportunities.
