And now UNCOVERED BOOKS has supplied me with a link to my title page, which is bare-bones but nice.

So I published an Ebook copy of THE BRIDE OF WAR with Uncovered Books earlier this year, and they recently requested that I supply additional information to help them sell the book better.

Well, I don’t know who asked it or why, but it occurs to me that I can’t remember ever ( Read more... )

So I’ve been trying for the last week or two to get the second chapter of Passage To Bujah: Departure written.

Good Morning, Mackettes,

‎5:20 AM and I’ve been wide awake for about two hours. Wasn’t feeling so good last night, and today I’m a little crummy too, but today is the day Dawn gives the oath and gets her Canadian citizenship. Gotta be ‘up’ for that. She’s depending on me, and just for a change, I’d like ( Read more... )
