Well I'm about done with marketing of ' The Hostage' I think it went well and I hope the updated keywords and categories make it easier to find on Amazon. Over the next couple of months I should have some new reviews ( Hopefully good ) to help it along.



Now I need to research and set up an automated system to acquire emails from readers who want to see more of my stuff. It's not a new idea but it was an idea I hadn't heard of until I listened to one of Nick Stevens webinars for 10k. While I don't think I'll get 10k readers anytime soon I do hope to start building my name up enough to get a few loyal readers who honestly read my sometimes controversial books.

Like my next book ' The Oni' This book is about a demon and a woman who wields it. It is a horror story thus alot of disturbing death scenes/rape described in detail/torture and so on.

The book is done with it's final editing and I've come to decision I need to scrap the words ' Oni" from the book and title. Oni does indeed mean demon, however it is the Japanese version of a demon. My character is Vietnamese on her mother's side and her father is a Voo Doo Bocor from the Caribbeans.

So now another round of research needs to be made and if I have too I will take liberties and call the demon by a name I've made up to go with it. I may also place her mother in a different area of Vietnam closer to an area that is more isolated thus more primitive in their beliefs again something I may need to take liberties with.

On the concept of Demons my beloved cat, Lord Godfrey, snuck up on me and made himself at home practically under the pillow I was leaning against on the couch. I was watching ' Pet Cemetery ' the original which a very much enjoyed. However the part where the demonic Church leaps out at the good doctor my own scheming feline slapped my face with his very long bushy tail. I can tell you i think my heart burned a few thousand calories in that one moment.

I hope to get working on Johnny Elf now that I am done with first full edit of the book and do any rewrites I need to do to move it along to the final editing stage.

I am part way finished with another short story which will be available in my book of short stories as a freebie for customers that sign up for my newsletter. The cover is gorgeous but still under a little construction.

I am still looking forward to Horrified press which will be coming out soon and have two more of my short stories in their anthologies. So fun times!
