Waiting for a publishing contract from the big six is like waiting for Scre4m's Ghostface to call

Here is a post I wrote on my site which I thought I should share with you.

I've been trying to channel my inner "Konrath" on the topic of self publishing recent. I've not been successful, but still trying.

I've self published after years of trying to get a publisher for my work. Does anyone in their right mind believe a writer doesn't want to have the ego trip of walking through a bookstore with a friend and…

The Contrarian

I’ve always been one and never realized it, until I received the latest publisher rejection letter. And, I’m not sure whether I need to hang my head in shame or stand proudly and wear it like a badge of honor.

Okay, that’s enough set-up suspense. I’m referring to the fact that I am a contrarian.

Reflection on it began when a Houston publisher sent me a very nice rejection letter on a manuscript I’d queried him on. He complimented the writing, the structure and the style… Continue

The Last Radiant Heart

Last weekend, I debuted my new novel, “The Last Radiant Heart”, at a book signing at Hastings in Lubbock, Texas and the next day thirty miles down the road in Brownfield.

Two reasons for these two locations: Part of the setting and plot in LRH are near these two towns and, secondly, I grew up there. Both were successful and I want to thank everyone for caring enough to stop by, visit and buy my book.

I hope everyone within the scope of this blog will pick up a copy today.… Continue

Confrontations

From the day of first awareness in this life, we all come to know personal idiosyncrasies but never really think about them. The reason is simple: These things are just what make us who we are. No deep contemplation necessary. Unless high on some mind altering drug, we don’t consider our arms, hands, feet and head because they are just part of the total package, like those little things we do, say or think every day, all the time. But, on occasion, something happens that vaults a quirk front… Continue

Book Signing

Thursday July 15th, 1p to 5p at Hastings in Lake Jackson, Texas – West Hwy 332.

It seemed appropriate I lead with the important part of this post. I’ll have a booking signing for my latest novel “Paradise Flawed” and will also have copies of “Six Years’ Worth” available for sale, too. Beyond that, I want to invite and urge anyone within driving distance to drop by and say hello. I love meeting people. Would you do that?

Falling Through - Chapter Two (part six)

Chapter Two part six

We were on a hillside that stood over many hillsides and trees. I looked around and all I could see was the grassy hillside. “Krista, did you know my mom’s name was Marie?” She turned to look at me, surprised. “What was she like? If you don’t mind me asking that is.”

“Hey, I’m supposed to be the one asking all the questions. It’s still my turn.”

“Fine. We’ll do that later. Let’s go.” She hopped up and went behind me up the hill. I quickly climbed and… Continue
