SO curious to know if these are a good rule of thumb. Nobody talks about money in the book business. I’m watching my sales figures just like “is that...good?”

It seems good...I’m very happy with how many people are picking up The Neverland Wars and enjoying it to boot! We’ve already had to do a second printing and that’s pretty dang cool.

I’d just like to say that everything is going fantastically with THE NEVERLAND WARS, and if you weren’t excited about it already, you should be now. We’re in the final stretch of contacting book reviewers and setting up the physical book tour. You’re going to want to be on the mailing list for the next announcement :) I might disappear for a day or two...things are getting intense.

Character Introduction: Mr. Starkey

So my life is still being eaten alive by NaNoWriMo...so I thought I’d leave a little piece of what I’m working on, from The Neverland Wars:

Gwen After lunch, Gwen trudged to fifth period biology, and then hurried across campus for her final and favorite class. She liked Mr. Starkey’s classroom. Her speech and debate teacher had turned the boxy room into a place that he felt comfortable in, and it showed. The walls were plastered with posters and quotations of great speakers, all of whom had lived and breathed the inspirational spirit of the sixties. John Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. hung beside Bob Dylan and John Lennon. When Mr. Starkey sat at his desk, he typed by the glow of an antique stained-glass lamp, the origins of which had never been explained.

Mr. Starkey tended to dress in a manner that made him look like a much older university professor, or a much younger actor from New York. He seemed to be under the delusion that he was teaching a college course, not a high school elective, but the students never minded the slight pretensions that accompanied this. Mr. Starkey acted like a college professor and treated his students like adults, something which won him instant favor with all of his classes. Gwen certainly appreciated it, and was fond of the way he always smelled like old books.

My publisher released a NEW cover for my book. What do you think? Is it beautiful? Is it awesome? I can’t be the only one who is excited about this. PLUS, there’s a GIVEAWAY happening to celebrate!

IT’S HAPPENING! IT’S TODAY! I can’t wait to get people’s opinions on this...What do you think of the cover art my publisher gave me?

I’m vlogging! Officially! IT’S HAPPENING!

Take four minutes of your day and hear about my stories and THE NEVERLAND WARS...my debut novel coming May 9, 2016!
