The truth could be deadly for him and people he cares about. Can this former reporter resist a good story despite the consequences?

I’m thrilled to announce that Searching For Truth, introducing new character Jake Scott, will be officially launched worldwide via Zoom on September 1, 2021.
“I really enjoyed this. Jake makes a refreshingly different hero. He’s not young and handsomely six-packed. He’s a bit of a Luddite, but there’s a steadfastness and sincerity about him. And quietly smart.” – Cath ‘N’ Kindle Books

I woke up this morning to some great news regarding Never So Alone, the short story prequel to The Marcie Kane Thriller Collection. The images below show it’s bestseller status in various categories in the U.S. and Canada and thank you to all those who downloaded it. Today is the last chance to download it free, so don’t miss out. https://amzn.to/2TNynjb
In preparation for the release of my upcoming book, which will kick off a completely new series, I will be offering huge deals on The Marcie Kane Thriller Collection over the summer. The first one starts NOW. The short story prequel, Never So Alone (ebook), is available to download FREE on Amazon for three days from June 7 – 9. It’s a perfect short summer read and a great introduction to the Collection. Click on the short video below for a description and the link to take advantage of this offer while it lasts.
In addition, at the time of writing, Amazon.com has discounted the paperback to $1.30 USD! I have no control over this, so don’t know how long it will last, but if you like to hold a real book while you have your coffee, don’t hesitate. The folks at Amazon could change their minds at any moment.
When does being happy about something turn into bragging? I guess when you talk about it. Call it bragging if you will, but I’m happy to tell you that The Vanishing Wife just received its 200th review on Amazon, and it’s averaging a 4.2 out of 5.0 rating.
Why is that so important? It means a lot of people have read the book and many have taken the time to review it. As authors, we keep harping on the importance of reviews. First, it lets other readers know what you think about the book. Second, it provides validation to us as authors, and encourages us to keep writing.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave a review for any of my books. It is much appreciated as you can tell from this post.
The pandemic has been difficult on authors as well as everyone else. Many authors are running a small business to promote their books. The pandemic has severely reduced opportunities to do that.
The good news is that it’s possible things could be slowly returning to “normal.” With my new book coming out soon, I have started to schedule events. You can see what’s upcoming in the event section at the side of this page. By the way, the podcast in December 2022 is not a typo. That’s the availability for this particular podcaster. There might even be a different new book to talk about by then.
Other indie authors will be doing the same thing – scheduling events to promote their books. Many are struggling like other small business owners and their quality books deserve your support. I would urge readers to watch for author events and support your local authors where possible.
