Happy 2022, or is it still 2020?
Wow, it’s 2022, and if I’m honest, it still feels like 2020. I can’t be the only one who feels this way, or am I? Well, as 2021 ended I have to admit I had a good year, not a great year by any stretch of the imagination, even so, overall the year treated me good. Let me fill you in on what’s ha...

The 2020-2021 Rainbow Awards
Happy Wednesday Scribblers, what a mind-blowing week. I’m so pleased to share with you, if you don’t already know, how my books performed in the 2020-2021 Rainbow Awards. This year I entered T.A.D.-The Angel of Death (click here to learn more) and The Called (The Calling Book 2) (click here to learn more). As some of you may know, I wasn’t sure about entering the books in the Rainbow Awards this year. T.A.D.-The Angel of Death hadn’t performed as well as I had hoped and the reviews were mixed; i...

December 2021 Update
Happy Wednesday Scribblers, for those of you here in the US, I hope you enjoyed the four-day weekend and had time to rest and relax. Overall, we had a quiet Thanksgiving, but we managed to put up our new Christmas Tree, decorations, and holiday lights. I can say for certain that our halls are well and fully decked. In fact, here are a couple of photos, I snapped.

Book Announcement and Happy Thanksgiving 2021

What it’s like being an author in a small publishing house?
Happy Wednesday Scribblers, I hope you are all doing well, and for those of you here in the US I hope you are looking forward to the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday and the mad dash to Christmas and the New Year. With the end of 2021 fast approaching, I’m looking back at my writing career to date. I have so much to be grateful for and I’ve learned so much over the past few years. I thought I would share my experience and thoughts as an author from a small publishing house.

Writing Update – Autumn 2021
Happy Wednesday Scribblers, I hope you are all having a great week so far. Here in California where I live we’ve been getting this mystifying liquid falling from the sky…I believe it’s called ‘rain’. I’m glad for the change in weather and lord knows we need to water, so keep good thoughts that California will continue to get rain, cause we need it. Also, I hope you all got to enjoy some of the silly photos I shared on Instagram about Eric my vacation. It was nice to be away, even so I spent tim...

Why Authors Write
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked why I write. This question comes up so often that I’ve been thinking about why I write a lot lately. Authors spend hours alone writing. They miss out on a great many things in order to create stories for the world to enjoy. Literature (either fiction or non-fiction) is often, these days, seen as a commodity, something to be consumed and moved on from. This is not the case for other artforms. Writing and by extension writers are only as good as thei...
