Watching the End of the World – Chapter 31

Akila laid the map she’d found out on the dining room table and everyone gathered around to look at it. “This is us right here,” Akila said, pointing to a spot on the map. She pointed to another spot. “My guess is that this is their camp.” The spot she pointed to was west and … Continue reading Watching the End of the World – Chapter 31

Watching the End of the World – Chapter 30

“Guess what I just found,” Caleb said, walking into the common room carrying a soccer ball. He dropped it, hit it with his knee, bounced it a couple of times. “Who’s up for some footie?” He saw Nate looking at him and grinned. “That’s soccer to you Yanks.” “I know that,” Nate said. “I’m not … Continue reading Watching the End of the World – Chapter 30

Well, here’s another nice review!

Just had a new review come out today and I’m happy to say it’s another good one! Yay! Here’s a couple of excerpts: “The story is well-written and it is a page turner throughout, not once slowing down. From start to finish the reader will be captivated … My adrenaline did not slow down until … Continue reading Well, here’s another nice review!

Tucson Festival of Books today!

So I’m at the Tucson Festival of Books today, got a table from 12:15-2:15 in the West Author Pavilion and a 10 minute author talk in booth 176. Woohoo, I guess? You see, I did the Festival last year, totally nervous, but it went really well. So I figured this year would be a piece … Continue reading Tucson Festival of Books today!

Watching the End of the World – Chapter 29

Jenna needed to get outside. Except when she was on watch, she’d spent the past few days, since Adam was killed by the lion, huddled in the warehouse along with everyone else and she was sick of it. She needed a break from it all, no matter how risky it was. She was so sick … Continue reading Watching the End of the World – Chapter 29

Getting compared to heavy company!

Check out this review. Any time I get compared to both Tolkien and George R.R. Martin in the same review, well, let’s just say I can live with that! (And no, I did not pay for this review, though I have a strong urge to add the reviewer to my Christmas card list. That’s if, … Continue reading Getting compared to heavy company!

Watching the End of the World – Chapter 28

The day was coming to an end. The sun had already dropped over the horizon and the night sounds were starting to kick in. Mosquitos whined around Jenna’s head. She was sitting on the roof at the end of her watch, thinking about her mother and her grandmother. Ever since they crashed here she’d been … Continue reading Watching the End of the World – Chapter 28

Over 500 copies went out the door!

So I was involved in this multi-author promotion over the weekend, sort of like a flea market where a number of independent authors got together (digitally, of course) and said, hey, check it out. Here’s some books and we’re having a sale! It went great. More than 500 copies of Wreckers Gate, which is the first … Continue reading Over 500 copies went out the door!

Watching the End of the World – Chapter 27

The door to outside was standing open. Adam shrieked and there was the roar of a lion. They ran out onto the runway just in time to see Adam on his back, being dragged back into the trees by his feet. There was blood all over his chest. The trees thrashed and they caught a … Continue reading Watching the End of the World – Chapter 27

Watching the End of the World – Chapter 26

By unspoken agreement over the last few days, turning on the TV to watch the news had become something that happened only in the morning. It was the ritual that began their days. At some point, as if answering a silent call, they would begin to gather in the common room. When all were present, … Continue reading Watching the End of the World – Chapter 26
