In Time for the Holidays!

This book, my tenth book, has been a labor of love for me, and the early reviews have been outstanding! It combines three related, but separate, story lines, a Navajo belief in the spirit world, and a coming-of-age thread all wrapped up in a tight thriller-crime-mystery.

Recently, I was the guest on two different podcasts, both by award-winning fellow authors, and I was one of several authors to contribute to a piece for an online magazine.

First, I had the pleasure of being a guest on a podcast of author Karen E. Osborne and her show, What Are You Reading? What Are You Writing?

We had an opportunity to talk about my newest book, about writing, about our influences, and just had some fun conversation. You can check it out here: https://tinyurl.com/fdrz68ju I hope you take a bit of time to listen in.

Second, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Kat Fieler on her podcast, Writer to Writer. This was my second visit with Kat, and it was like hooking up with an old friend. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj6hBWvryDU

Like many of us in the BRW family, we promote the work and craft of each other. I do this by interviewing fellow authors, both with my publisher and some who have other publishers. Kat Fieler has begun a campaign of promotion so you can find the newest of the new books by BRW authors at an inexpensive price. You can find her current promo of these fine authors at: https://www.kjfieler.com/post/this-holiday-season-give-the-gift-of-adventure-laughter-and-inspiration-at-stocking-stuffer-pric?utm_campaign=f6fdcaf7-1db3-485d-a7bb-5e31729adf8c&utm_source=so&utm_medium=mail&cid=4900ceb2-dee8-4453-a0fa-a1d5abd9148a

And I was one of several authors contributing to a wonderful blog/online magazine by Kimberly Charleston, The Author’s Journey. I think you will enjoy it. You can find the article here: https://loom.ly/XY83dR8 

I had several readers reach out requesting a signed copy of one or more of my books. If you would like one, please use the contact form below. I only charge the cost of the book and I cover postage. Let me know soon so you have it by Christmas.

I’d like to know what you think, so please use the comment section below. Thank you for following along on my writing journey. So until next time …Joe
