Major Stories for 2008 !

Many of you have already heard about the unfair practices Amazon.com is instituting. I believe Amazon is interferring with fair trade and is taking advantage of authors and small press publishers. Read More...


The winners of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize have been announced and The Vagabond Healer was not a finalist!

Sorry, but the offer for a FREE copy of An Eagle Unchained, has expired !
Although we didn't win, we are proud to have been considered for this honor since we always believed The Vagabond Healer was an exceptional novel. Debra Gaynor, for Reader Views, headlined her review: "One of the finest pieces of fiction I have ever read."

Check out The Vagabond Healer page to see why this excellent novel was considered for one of the highest honors in the literary world. You can see a synopsis of the novel, several reader's reviews, and a sample chapter in both text and audio versions.
Our experiment of offering a free copy of An Eagle Unchained was a great success. I hope all of those readers who went to the download page actually read and enjoyed the novel.

Of course, An Eagle Unchained is still available in either paperback or hard cover. I believe the novel is particularly timely during this Presidential election year, and apparently a number of other people feel the same because I've gotten some really good reviews.


Check out the reviews on the An Eagle Unchained page.

Are You Taking Advantage Of Everything This Site Has To Offer?


You may have noticed that I have moved my catalogue of titles off of the home page. I am getting so many novels published that the home page was getting too cluttered looking. The brief synopsis of each of my titles, a thumbnail of the book itself, and links to detailed descriptions can be found on the catalogue page. Links at both at the top and bottom of the page.

In addition to information on every one of my published books, you can download (or read online), or listen to some of my short stories. The art of short fiction is dying because there is a very limited market. At one time there were hundreds of magazines, both pulp and slick that carried fiction. Today very few publications have short fiction, except perhaps for some speciality magazines. Short fiction is great because it tells an entire story in a few pages. Take advantage of the opportunity to read some very good fiction - absolutely free.

Of course the Media Room is just what the name implies, an area for media people to gather information. Almost any visitor might find things of interest, such as press releases and a very detailed (probably more information than you want to know) biography.

And finally, there is a page where I list some novels which were written by authors I know. I think you might enjoy their writing. With all the new titles published each year, sometimes we lose track of some very good writers who have published a few years ago. You owe it to yourself to at least check out the information on my other authors page.
