Pre-order contestants

I have received lots of emails on how the winners are chosen and the rules. I sent out a mass email to all of the customers asking to check the blog for your answer, under contest tag.
The only rule is to pre-order the book, Burning Through Their Eyes
Second, when all the contestants have pre-ordered; the first hundred, in the Bookstore, you are given a number by your order number and that number is used in the drawing.
Now, for how they are chosen? I'm using Random.org. I put the numbers in,

Book pre-order, new story

With the upcoming book release I have a lot going on, between getting all the advertisement ready, and setting up a book launch. So, I'm going with a weekly blog for now, instead of whenever a thought pops into my head that I want to share with everyone for no reason. I do have a lot to go over for the week.
Burning Through Their Eyes is now available for pre-order, the first 100 people that pre-order in January are entered for a chance to win 1 of 2 laptops. I have more to giveaway, but that will be after

New years Dinner

I wish everyone a Happy New Years.
Wondering how everyone enjoyed the first day of the new year. My family had a nice New Years dinner, this is the first years in several that I decided not to work. We had a nice feast, I made broccoli potato soup, fresh french bread, and my signature bread pudding that I haven't made in six years. The reason I say signature, is when I was in my teens, I was a p��tissier at a nice four star restaurant, while I was in high school. Being that young I gained a lot

Burning Through Their Eyes

Here's a little teaser from my next book. Enjoy!

Why did this forest appear to go on forever, Dustin wondered? Water held tightly to some of the Maple trees leaves, showing it just finished raining. A foggy haze emanated from the ground as water evaporated into the air. He looked up at the trees, branches blocked the sunlight from getting through. As the wind blew lightly, bright rays of the sun escaped through the leaves burning his eyes. At this point, Dustin started having a hard time

writing

Yesterday, I was going somewhere with my post by got sidetracked by my bad dogs.
I was wondering, when you're typing up a book how much do you type on a daily basis. For the longest time I used to do everything longhand in notebooks then come back later type it up. My typing skills are a little better now, I can type almost as fast as the thoughts, or at least, fast enough to where I don't lose my train of thought.
I try to at least type two pages a day sometimes more if I've gotten to a part I

Time for writing

I was working on my next book last night, and I gave my puppies some plastic bones that make sounds while they chew on them. I thought that was keeping them busy, how wrong and naive I was thinking that would keep them busy for a bit. The puppies got a hold of my phone and leather case I keep it in with a couple cards, yes and my debit card, which when I found the dogs they're fighting over the phone with cards torn up on the ground. I was so mad, but I really don't know which one to be mad at.

Dictionary

It's funny when I think back to all the books I read in school. I think I'm going to have to put this on a throw back Thursday tag. One of my favorite books that stuck out at me was, Brave New World, which at the time, I was forced to read in school. When I was younger I could have cared less about reading large books, I liked the short books, done in a day type of books. Some of that may of had to do with the ADD I had and have.�� Honestly, I think after reading that book, that

cat wants attention

I usually do most of my typing when I get home from work(I work afternoons) and everyone is sleeping. Today, I woke up early to get some pages done, and my cat didn't like that, she hopped up on my keyboard to get some attention. she's so funny. Such a chubby cat, when she gets outside and I go to chase her, she just lay's down, like she's given up on the chance to run.

Free Kindles

My book is closer for people able to pre-order, on top of that I'll be giving away free Kindles and copies of my new book before the book is released, so stay tuned and keep checking for updates.
I feel like it was on a short vacation from work, I caught a cold, which is making it harder concentrating on writing, but still moving forward, a couple pages at a time as my head feels like it's going to explode any minute.

Free book giveaway

I'm giving away In Between Dreams the 24 and 25 of December on kindle. Merry Christmas
