Updates and Ramblings

Hello there to anyone that may still be following this old and dusty blog!

For those that know me… yes my life is still as packed and hectic as ever. My creative urges still pull at me constantly, but my ongoing list of responsibilities and a nagging need for sleep (meager as it may be) must continue to take priority over my “hobbies”.

January proved to be an interesting month as it saw me, once again, spending an inordinate amount of time working countless hours in China. All I can say about that trip is that the hard work paid off (employer satisfied) and it planted a few seeds for a story idea I’ve been cultivating.

Last summer I put “Murder by Design” up as a Kindle book on Amazon. It has been averaging 8 to 10 downloads per month and in January it spiked up to 30! I don’t know what spurred the interest (since I haven’t been promoting it) but the attention is certainly appreciated. The interest in “Murder by Design” has me itching to revise and finish “Conclave” but I can’t seem to schedule it in. Maybe this summer. I’ve also been itching to get it up on podiobooks.com but I haven’t had the time to get the files in the correct technical spec format. Any volunteers?

Ink ‘n Doodles Creative Workshop
has also been taking up brainspace. I still believe greatly in the power of creative communities and it hurts me that Ink ‘n Doodles has languished in a half-life… not fully dead… not really alive. Any thoughts?

Anyway… thanks for reading through this. I’ve been looking to kickstart my writing and posting and maybe this post will help. In the meantime… go create something! (I know I’ll be trying!)

Buy Somebody Else’s Book!

That’s right, I want you to buy somebody else’s book.

I have often commented on how important it is to surround yourself with creative superheroes. They are my inspiration and constantly motivate me to keep on creating. So now I’m asking you to support them.

My first novel, “Murder by Design“, was just offered for sale on Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle versions. While I would absolutely love for all of you to go out and buy it, what I would like even more is for you to go out and support some of my friends that have already been published.

So here’s the deal:

Buy somebody else’s book and I’ll send you a PDF of
“Murder by Design” for FREE!

Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Buy one of these books:
  2. Send me an e-mail to murderbydesignnovel@gmail.com with some sort of “proof of purchase” and be sure to cc: the author.
  3. That’s it! I’ll reply to your e-mail with a PDF of “Murder by Design” for FREE!

“Murder by Design” is now available on Amazon.com

My debut novel, “Murder by Design”, is now available on Amazon.com! The novel is available in paperback as well as a Kindle version.
