POINT OF VIEW: Riding the Rocket

So I had a BookBub for “The Stark Divide” last week. BookBub, for those who don’t know, is a daily email service that sends out specials (usually free or 99¢) to a huge list of potential readers/buyers. When you get one, it can mean a big, if temporary, boost in sales. How big? Potentially a thousand books or more in a single day, all sent to Amazon. Numbers that make the ‘zon stand up and take notice. I was ready and waiting for the start of mine. I only told a few people, and even then, I was warned to … Read more

REVIEW: The Shoreless Sea

by
The Shoreless Sea

Anne Barwell reviewed “The Shoreless Sea”: “As with all the books I’ve read by this author, the world building is fabulous, and well thought out… The plot kept me turning pages, and I particularly liked the strong connection to the history of Forever… This story reminds me of why I enjoy science fiction, and I found it a very satisfying ending to a great series. I’d recommend it to readers who enjoy detailed world building, and fabulous layered characters. 5 out of 5 stars.” Have you read it yet?

Twenty-four years ago this month, I sent out my first novel – “On a Shoreless Sea” – to ten New York sci fi publishers. And twenty-three years ago, also this month, my nascent writing career came to an abrubt end. I knew I wanted to be a writer when I was nine years old and read The Lord of the Rings the first time. When I was a young adult, I had the idea for a world that would bridge the gap between sci fi and fantasy, offering a sci fi premise and a fantasy feel like some of my … Read more

Rainbow Awards Honorable Mentions!

by

I’m thrilled to have not one but three honorable mention notices from the Rainbow Awards (which means I *could* be in contention for a win. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The first is for River City: “I absolutely loved The River City Chronicles. The author acknowledges Armistead Maupin in the Foreword, but truthfully, I loved this book way more than Maupin. I figured out fairly early on where some of the plot points were headed, but it didn’t matter. It was just lovely to be immersed in this world. If only this was ‘book 1’ then I could … Read more
