 It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted something here. My apology.  I could use the excuse that sometimes life gets in the way, but that would be a cop-out. A writer should write, regardless. I have been writing, but not on this platform since last May. First, I had the sixth book in my John Ross Boomer Lit series, Cradle of Conflict, published on Dec. 1. Anyone who has written a book knows that there’s a lot of writing that goes into the final product, from drafts (I had seven), to edits, to rewrites. So that took up a lot of my time until I wrapped it up in early November... Continue Reading

 I haven’t posted a blog in about three months. That’s a long time in cyberspace. It was my plan at the start to have a minimum of one post per week and usually exceeded that number.  But sometimes life gets in the way of intentions. It’s not like I’ve been in a vegetative state, even though I’m a vegetarian.  I’m still working on the third rewrite of the sixth book in my “John Ross Boomer Lit Series.” It hasn’t come along as smoothly as the previous entries, but still, there’s progress. I’d like to finish it in a few weeks... Continue Reading

 It’s been nearly a year since I saved the manuscript for my next novel on the hard-drive. I put it aside for reasons that I’ll keep to myself.  But on Feb. 1, I reopened it to begin work on the sixth book in my John Ross Boomer Lit series. It’s my hope to have a complete draft finished in two months.  I’ve written more than 41k words so my first task is to read what I’ve already written and go from there. So far it’s been almost like going over another writer’s words. That’s good because I’m giving a reader’s eye to the story. I’ll... Continue Reading

The fifth book in my John Ross Boomer Lit series, Reunion of  Familiar Strangers, hits the online bookstores today. The e-version of the novel has been available on preorder from Amazon since Aug. 27. It should now be in both e-book and print if everything goes as planned from Wings ePress. And with the book being printed and distributed by Lightning Source, a division of Ingram, it is available to bookstores, libraries, and other places that sell and purchase books.    In this novel, John and Sally attend his 50th high school class reunion. It’s an event that has been mentioned in... Continue Reading

 We’re a month away from the publication of my next novel, the fifth in the John Ross Boomer Lit series.  And today, I’m announcing the title and revealing the cover. Drum roll, please: The cover was designed by graphic artist Trisha Fitzgerald-Jung, who has produced many covers for Wings ePress in the past few years.  She designed the last two  books in the series, “New Horizons” and “Make Room for Family.” As the title suggests, John and Sally Ross attend his 50th high school reunion, an event mentioned in the first novel, “Old Ways and New Days,”... Continue Reading

My latest manuscript is back in the hands of my able and trusting editor. She’ll make the edits, send it on to a proofreader, and format the work into a galley proof.  I probably added another 800 words to the manuscript, bringing the total to about 60k. There were some transitions needed between scenes, dialogue fixes, and additional descriptive passages in the “show, don’t tell” category. The galley will return to me for a final read and minor edits for any typos as well as grammatical errors, and misspellings that may have slipped through on the first edits. If you’re... Continue Reading
