My First Audio Book Is In Production!

I have found the perfect voice to read "Ally Ally Oxen Free" and make the story come alive. I'm working with Paul Holbrook, and the audio book is in production, and if all goes well, it will be available just in time for Halloween.

I'll let everyone know when it's available for iTunes, Amazon and audible.











Happy Reading... and soon, Listening!

I'm Baaaaack!

Again, it's been a rough year with the loss my parents, and life just doesn't seem the same. It's like there's a big black hole in my life now. But, my Mom and Dad always told me how proud they were of me, and I know they'd want me to continue with my writing, so I'm back.

Here's what I'm working on now.

First, I haven't found my USB drive, so I did find one of the later version of "Metamorphosis", so I guess I start from there. Hopefully in the meantime I find that darn little computer stick, but for  now, this older version is all I have.

Second, I'm going to attempt making my books available as audio books. I've looked into it, and I got some good advice from a fellow author, so I'm going to start that project this week. We'll see how things go.

Third, I have enrolled all my Kindle books on Amazon.com in the Kindle Unlimited program. This means you can read as many of my books as you want for a certain price per month, along with other books you choose. I do believe it's $9.99.

I've already had some readers take advantage of this deal!

Happy Reading!

I've Lost It!

Not my brain, but something very important. My USB flash drive that contains stories I'm working on, and Metamorphosis is on it. So, this means I need to find it before I can finish editing that story. I had planned to publish it on Kindle by the end of the month, but I'm going to have to push the date back until I can find my USB flash drive.

I have looked everywhere! It's time to start backing up documents in several places, I suppose. In the mean time, I've decide to release Flashes of Fiction: Volume 3 early, so look for it on August 11 on Amazon Kindle.

Stories include:

Jim finished building his time machine, and hes ready to see what advances the
future has to offer, but he is stunned by what he doesn't find.
My Friend, Clarence

Jeremys imaginary friend
The Weed Whisperer

This is why I'm not very active on Goodreads...

I've said before. I don't ask for reviews anymore. I did when my first book was published, but then I later decided it's best to let nature take its course and see how things go. That being said, I know not everyone will like a story I've written and that's okay--what's not okay is this:
Someone leaving a one star rating under suspicious circumstances. I have to wonder if this man even read Mermaid's Kiss after seeing that he too has a children's book about a mermaid. Hmmm...

I know this has happened to authors on the Goodreads site. It is a petty thing to do. If he really doesn't like the book,  then why not leave a review? Or why even bother to rate it at all?

I am grateful for those who read my book and leave reviews, whether you loved it or hated. I'm just saying, this one is suspicious to me.

Happy Reading!
