And Another Five Star Review for River City from Scattered Thoughts

by
Rveiwq - Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words - River City

Just got another fantastic review for “The River City Chronicles” – Melanie at Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words absolutely fricking loved it: All the characters here are so beautifully created, so multidimensional that they are all on equal footing.  Each and every one is so important to the story and will gain equal measure in your heart.  It’s a large cast but it simply doesn’t matter.  You invest yourself completely in their lives and their stories.  You hurt with them, you laugh with them…the entire spectrum of emotion will be trotted out here between the kids thrown out of their … Read more

Five Stars for River City from Drops of Ink

by
Drops of Ink - River City Review

Just got another fantastic review for “The River City Chronicles” – five stars from Anne Barwell at Drops of Ink: I was drawn into the story immediately, and wanted to know more about the overarching story, the characters, and how they would interact. The chapters are a great size, perfect for diving in and out of the story although, as I approached the latter part of the book, I didn’t want to put it down as I wanted to know how everyone’s stories would end. The story is a lovely, easy, feel-good read with plenty of ‘heart,’ and I very … Read more

Hey all, As anyone who knows me or follows this column knows, it’s been a wild month. It was just about a month ago that we discovered how much GDPR (the new EU privacy law) would require of us as a company, and how little time (3 weeks!!!) we had to accomplish it. It also landed squarely in the lead-up to the release of “The River City Chronicles,” my first self-published work. It also happened to be the month when I was due to finish writing Ithani, and one of my beta readers threw me a (much needed) curve ball … Read more

by
Wicked Faerie - River City

Just got a fantastic review from Chris at Wicked Faerie for my “other” book this week – “The River City Chronicles”: “I thoroughly enjoyed The River City Chronicles.

by
The River City Chronicles

Hey all, Last week was a momentous one for me. After two and a half years and lots of effort, “The River City Chronicles” was released on Wednesday, my very first self-published work. The book is now available in eBook and print formats, and I am thrilled to finally have crossed a line I have labored towards for decades. I’ve always wanted to be a writer, and almost always had a dream of being a publisher too, though that came a little later. There’s something amazing about having the keys to the kingdom – about being fully in control of … Read more
