To paint a scene with words
When i think about what I do daily as a microcosm of a book, I define it a a single work in a gallery of design. Every chapter is a picture. Every paragraph a brush stroke. The sum total becomes a story.
Like any artist, sometimes I’m lazy, or tired, or simply misinformed. The painting suffers and the day’s work needs restoration.
Somedays I want to be profound, while others I can’t be pulled away from my morning coffee.
So today I’m aiming for a few more paragraphs, a few more expressions and a few more digested dreams on my way to the end of the story.

New Book — Kris
11,035 words today! This is book six, but to be honest book one is being so difficult I might not publish the rest. Thing is I’m a natural optimist, and inately I believe that I can learn to make it work. I am disappointed in the marketing aspects so far. Have read blogs that say most books seill 250 copies tops… Rather discouraging. However, Dreamer is a good read and a great story. Soooo you never know.
Happy to be here
It has been a crazy ride so far. So many things that same seem everyday to others are very new to me. Bolgging is an art form of its own that I will attempt to learn and sadly I lack experience. However, there is something to be said about the thrill of something new.
This is my recent release:
This photo of my PDF proof says where I live. I am a writer, but the advertizing aspects are new to me. Most people believe that you get a traditional publisher and presto- you’re a success.
Life being full of wonderous mysteries– that’s not quite how it works. So, for me, here comes the hard part.
