From the Back Cover: Patrick Collins has three items on his Christmas list. He wants the army to find his father. He wants to leave his grandfather’s house. And he wants–very badly–the wooden soldier tucked away in his grandfather’s attic. Set at Christmastime in 1943, The Unfinished Gift is an engaging family story that reminds us of the surprising things that can affect powerful change in our hearts–-like a young boy’s desperate prayers, a shoebox full of love letters, even a dusty, long-forgotten wooden soldier.

Exciting Book Announcement

EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE – Today, I’m revealing what I’ve been up to lately. Revealing this Book Cover is a solid clue. I’ve decided–for my 30TH NOVEL–to write the sequel to my Bestselling novel, released last Thanksgiving – THE PERFECT STRANGER. It’s already received 629 Amazon Reviews (4.7 Avg).

I’ve been developing and researching the sequel in Jan-Feb and began writing it this past week (just finished Chapter 3). More details to come but the pic on the cover is central to the story. Hope to have it ready to launch by Summer’s end.

Here’s a link to Book 1, if you haven’t read it yet (It’s on Kindle, #KindleUnlimited, Print, and Audio).

2 Big Things to Announce

Big Thing # 1 – I’M ON A PODCAST – My son’s been after me to start doing Podcasts (about my books), and I told him in 2025, I would. I’m often slow to respond to new technology stuff. But really, it’s just chatting with hosts who are very kind and easy to talk to. Here’s my first with Kelly Wilson. She does a great job summarizing what we talked about on her page. Here’s the link if you’d like to listen in:

DAN’S NEWEST NOVEL — UNBELIEVABLE – The Perfect Stranger just Released 3 Months Ago, and it’s Already Received over 600 Amazon Reviews (4.7 Star Avg), This is Amazing!

Importance of Leaving Book Reviews

THE IMPORTANCE OF BOOK REVIEWS – Since I publish my own books, for the past few days, I’ve been wearing one of my “least favorite hats.” That is, compiling all the year-end records in terms of, like, Total Sales per book, Total Sales for all books, Total Reviews per book, etc. Having just finished this tedious task, I find myself mostly grateful for all my readers and how abundantly kind they have been to me throughout the year.

Here are some General Stats:

1. Avg # of Amazon Reviews/book = 30-50

2. Avg # of Readers who leave Reviews = Less than 5% (1 in 20)

3. Avg # of Annual Sales for Self-published Books = 275

Here are my Stats (how my Readers have Treated Me):

1. Avg # of Amazon Reviews /book = 2,300 (57 x higher than avg)

2. Avg. # of My Readers who leave Reviews = 20% (1 in 5)

3. Avg # of Annual Sales per book = 1,350 (5 x higher than avg – keep in mind, this average is made lower by factoring in all the older books. For the newer books, the average is way higher than this. My most recent book, released at Thanksgiving, by itself is 7 x higher in just 2 months).

This is amazing to me. Thank you SO much, all of you who’ve bought copies of my books in 2024 (or downloaded them on Kindle Unlimited), and ESPECIALLY those of you who’ve left Ratings or Reviews.

Every Author will tell you…Reviews are by far the most important factor in helping to draw in New Readers to consider buying your books.

Because of all of you, once again, I can write full time for another year (that’s 15 years in a row).
