Wrapping up the Bern Saga

Wowsers. It's done. I'm through. The fourth Molly book, the final entry in the Bern Saga, is off to the presses.

Kimber An's First Book!

Kimber An is the awesome book reviewer/blogger behind Enduring Romance, a site that reviewed the first Molly book and Half Way Home very favorably. I haven't read Sugar Rush yet, but if it's anything like her awesome reviews, it needs to be checked out.

The Scrutiny Bias

Barry Bonds. Lance Armstrong. Roger Clemens. Tiger Woods. Alex Rodriguez. Marion Jones. Does it seem like the people on the top are all getting busted with cheating lately?

A Reviewer Rallying Cry!

Hey fans! I'm slaving away on book four: Molly Fyde and the Fight for Peace, and I need your help. As it turns out, the Kindle edition of the Molly Fyde books are selling quite well, and I think it's because of the awesome number of reviews I have on Amazon. In order to build [...:]

That's right, the UK Kindle store is now open, and the Molly books are well represented across the pond. If you know any limeys who haven't read the books yet, tell them to give the series a shot.
