November 25th marked 14 years since I became an Indie author. My first published story, Faith, Love and Moonshine: An Appalachian Tale, was published on Smashwords back in 2011 and has since spread across the interwebs to many other retailing sites. That story has also spawned two novels: Moonshiner's Justice and Moonshiner's Honor. Eventually, I plan to expand the series into a third book. I've been claiming that for a while now, but I know that someday it will happen.

I still write about every ...

From the back cover:

Jesco Morgan is a bare-knuckle fighter who’s trying to survive in the poverty-stricken town of Uproar. The southern Indiana town, filled with drug dealers, run-down neighborhoods, and people living off food stamps and disability checks, is the place that Jesco has always ca...

 Lately, I've been diving in and out of The Collected Stories of Sheldon Lee Compton, who I would consider to be one of the finest writers out there today. I recommend you check out his work as soon as you finish reading this blog entry. You won't be disappointed. I discovered him and his work several years ago on Twitter. Below is the autographed copy of The Collected Stories of Sheldon Lee Compton that the man himself sent me in 2023. I'm honored to have it, and it will remain on my shelf for ...

 Here's a story that I wrote several years ago. Although it's classified as a children's story, it can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. I believe it is available for purchase on a few retailing sites across the web, but you can read the entire story right here for free. Enjoy.

A cool breeze whisked across Daniel Martin’s freckled browas he stood alongside his favorite fishing stream. With a smooth underhandflip, his cork bobber went sailing, and when it hit the water, it made a subtlesplash....

 J.P. Publishing is an independent publishing company that I created a few years back. I hardly ever advertise its existence, but I think I'm going to start doing so. I believe there are over two hundred and fifty items from which to choose. There you'll find notebooks with humorous sayings that fit many different types of moods - perfect for gag gifts or gifts for yourself. There are journals with various designs and themes (hunting, fishing, music, etc.). And there are also the more serious jo...

 This morning, I decided to head to my local wildlife refugeand go on a short hike. Nothing compares to taking a stroll through the woods while connecting with God, Mother Nature, and the universe. I highly recommend it.

I wanted to let everyone know that Brothers of the Mountain: Heart of the Frontier is back in the Kindle Unlimited program on Amazon. I'd published the book wide a few months ago but it didn't seem to gain any traction on the other retailing sites. Heart of the Frontier is the first seven stories in the Brothers of the Mountain series. You can check it out here or click on the cover. 

Here's another older story of mine that was published in Lamplit Underground Magazine back in 2021 (Transformations, volume 5). "Painted Smiles" was also included in the collection Where the Gravel Lane Ends. This is another one of those "weird" stories that seem to always find its way into a collection that I'm working on. You can check out the story here.
