Asleep at the Wheel

June has crept up on me. It seems I have neglected to post since March! I could make excuses, but I won’t. A wizard is never late, Master Baggins, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to. Rather than posting my newsletter, I have been making steady progress on a number of […]

Adventure Bound

March has come. That marks one year since H.M.S Valor first released on Kindle and paperback. The welcome it has received thus far has been beyond anything I had hoped for. Cheers to a whole year and many more to come! I am lining up some promotional opportunities for a sale in early May, H.M.S […]

Promising Horizons

The new year is upon us and with it the endless horizon of new possibilities! I hope you have found some joy in this new year and I hope your holidays were restful and rewarding. I have chosen to start the new year by embarking on a whole new adventure and I do hope you […]

To sea with her!

In just over two weeks Revenge of the Drowned Maiden is scheduled for release. I hope you are as excited as I am. I have already received some very exciting feedback and I am anxious for it to set sail and find waiting readers. November 5th, mark your calendar if you haven’t already because you […]

Land In Sight

I hope September finds you well, mine has brought a heartswell of joy that I struggle to find words to describe. Fall has come to Montana. It is my favorite time of year, with cooler weather and changing trees. I have another reason to be particularly joyful this fall, my family has grown. This past […]

Full Canvas

Friends. I hope August finds you well and in good spirits. Chaos has proven to be a theme for this year, much as it was for last. But, sometimes in the midst of storms we get a chance to reflect inward and be grateful for the things that are most important. Progress continues on the […]

Old Friends, New Friends and New Adventures

July greets me every year and I think to myself how quickly time slips by us all. This year is no different, though this July has brought another reason for me to smile. At the height of baseball season and on the very day the American League won the All Star game, Amazon finally opened […]

Long Live Lilith!

Another month has come and gone, and I continue to be pleasantly surprised by a steady level of sales and rewarded by reviews and recommendations. To anyone who has purchased H.M.S. Valor, I thank you. To all of those who have been so gracious as to recommend it to a friend, an extra ration of […]

A skilled sailor.

I have signed several copies of H.M.S. Valor with the inscription of a quote that has kept me going through some of my darkest hours. “Smooth seas don’t make skilled sailors” I’ve added to that for my part, encouraging my readers to plot their course boldly. In life, as in the world of navigation at […]

Setting Sail With No Charts

As I write, H.M.S. Valor has already exceeded my hopes. In both sales and reviews, I have been pleasantly rewarded by readers from all walks of life and locations. I wrote H.M.S. Valor as an escape from a dismal year. 2020 was a challenge to everyone and 2021, while looking better, has delivered more of […]
