Canada Day weekend was full: Lacombe Farmer’s Market book sale/signing – Aspen Beach swimming and camping – Ponoka Stampede with imminent tornado, chuckwagon races, and Dallas Smith concert.  Came home to the Whyte Ave. Blues Block Party.

Leduc Book Club

I was invited to the Leduc Book Club nite and discussed FINAL RESPONSE.  They all liked it but a few wanted more from the ending, telling me a sequel was needed. I talked about the characters and that a few were taken from my career. The big man, Ben, was actually blended of two men Continue reading

Seba Beach and Alberta Beach Farmer’s Markets

It was a hot weekend and the lake was just lovely.  Seba Beach and Alberta Beach Farmer’s Markets were busy and I sold as many books as I did in two days at Chapters Indigo stores.   Weird.   Fresh veggies bring out the crowds.  We camped at the RV park beside the lake and also went Continue reading

Book marketing @ Farmer’s Markets

My book marketing is poor.  My new story WOLVES OF CANCUN is on Wattpad.com up to the 5th chapter.  I’m not sure if I’ll continue with it as only 12 people have read it and no one has commented.   Could it get plagiarized?  Sure.  So last summer Bookkus publishing set me up for book sales Continue reading

OLD FLAMES firefighter #2 novel proof is almost ready.  The proof has arrived.  I have to comb through this for errors and send it back to Bookkus Publishing   It never ceases to amaze me after many, many edits and checks, a book will still have minor errors.  So far the major error in this copy Continue reading

Truth in Advertising

It’s not often you get a product that states exactly what you’re getting.  Truth in advertising can be an oxymoron.  Like those great oxygen bubbles that turn up in cleaning products.  It probably plain old air.  Anyhow my eye caught some truth in advertising when I walked into the Bulk Barn.  Two things come together Continue reading

No More School Readings or Chapters/Indigo

No more school readings or Chapters Indigo signings. After several school readings of my young reader stories, I have decided that teachers, although eager to bring in a writer, ultimately do not appreciate it. I take time to prepare, try to make my presentation entertaining, and do not charge any fee.  The teacher buys one Continue reading

Old Flames will be back

Bookkus Publishing tells me Old Flames will be back as an eBook and a paperback later this spring.  It’s quite different from Final Response as it has a hot romance with high school  sweethearts igniting the flame again.  Bookkus tells me it’s their favorite.  I released Old Flames only as an an eBook two years Continue reading

Go NOMAD travel article

So in my last post I got pissed off at the state of travel articles and went on a tear submitting my bull fighting experience in Lisbon around to a few places.  And I got a bite.  The original 749 word article hit the right chord and the editor told me to bump it up Continue reading
