If you are looking for an author with an English major I am not the one you are looking for. I occasionally misspell a word or leave out a punctuation mark. My facts are not always facts and I say that in my disclaimers. I often do not use proper English. However I am a story teller. I have always liked to make up stories so I just decided to write them so anyone who liked to read stories could enjoy them.
I sat down Sunday after the release of my latest book on Amazon and started telling my daughter some of the story of Buck, Jill, witches, goddesses and werewolves. The whole time I was telling the story my wife and daughter were staring at me. When I finished my daughter asked, "How do you come up with all this stuff?” My granddaughter ch If you are looking for an author with an English major I am not the one you are looking for.

I sat down Sunday after the release of my latest book on Amazon and started telling my daughter some of the story of Buck, Jill, witches, goddesses and werewolves. The whole time I was telling the story my wife and daughter were staring at me. When I finished my daughter asked, "How do you come up with all this stuff?” My granddaughter chimed in and asked me to tell another story.
I don't know where these stories come from. They just come out. When I was a kid I didn't have any friends close by to play with so I made up my own games. I was always the hero cowboy. With my trusty broom handle between my legs I would run across the yard chasing the bad guys. It usually ended in a fight when I caught the bad guy.
Sometime I would be a super hero and chase bad guys with a cape tied around my neck, (bath towel) and my bathing suit on.
I made a crate into a space ship and tried to get my brother to pick me up in it and throw it to the moon. I always thought of him as the strongest man in the world. It would be no problem for him to sling that crate with me in it to the moon. My daughter wonders where I get these stories from.
I Love to write. Just think about it if you will. You make up a character and before you know it you are that character. You could be traveling in new or strange lands. You could be saving the world or rescuing a damsel in distress. Who knows? The only limit is your mind.
I love writing romance novels. My favorite ones are historical. England and Scotland have always fascinated me. I was born Scot-Irish and English so it is only natural I would be interested in those countries. I especially like reading the love stories of the aristocracy. I have always been able to lay in bed at night and dream up stories so I decided I would start writing some of them down. I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I have enjoyed writing them.

The Wolf Pack

I decided to write a paranormal for a change of pace. I was going through some old files and I found this story I started about eight years ago. All it needs is a little tweaking and I can publish it.

Quotes by William Roach (?)

“I always try to give good ratings to books I have read unless it is really bad. Being a writer I know how a bad rating feels. Sometimes it is better to encourage a writer rather than discourage them. After all the next book they write could be a World Renown novel like Harry Potter.”

I found when you run a free promotion on Amazon for Indie authors you get a lot of bad reviews. I wonder if some of it is to block your attempt to self publish. They can give you a bad review and you can't give your book away. I hope it is not true but it makes me wonder.

I used to not review any books I read till I started writing. Now I try to review everything I read because I found out that is the only way an author has of judging his work. It is hard to improve on your work if nobody points out the weak spots.
I don't mean the kind of review like a friend of mine received. The reviewer attacked the author. That is wrong on so many levels.
