1. News and Updates
Happy April, everyone! I hope you’re enjoying the warmer weather. As you all know by now, my latest novel, “Tabitha Prime,” is live on Amazon in both e-book and paperback. If you haven’t got your copy yet, go here and grab it. Many thanks to those who have already bought their copies.
Speaking of “Tabitha Prime,” I have gotten a new trailer for the book, which is now on YouTube:
Both parts of “M1911A1: Aftermath,” have gone live at Literotica. This tells the story of a cheating wife who is forced to deal with the consequences of her actions. You can read part one of that story here and part two here.
As I mentioned last week, I created an account at Bookfunnel, and am in the process of submitting excerpts of all my published e-books/paperbacks there. I already have samples available for “Justice Rides,” “Rules,” and “The Kepler Incident.” I hope to have the rest available for you very soon!
I’m still working on “Cinnamon: The Lothario,” for a summer anthology called “Love Potion 69.” More on that to come, but in the meantime, you can catch up on the story of Mark and Cinnamon in my story, “A Taste of Cinnamon,” which is part of the “Naughty and Spice” holiday anthology, available on Amazon.
2. Featured Book of the Week
The featured book of the week on my website is “Rules.” Published on June 19, 2022, at Amazon, this e-book tells the story of Jon Carlson and Sara Jenkins, childhood sweethearts who only wanted one thing — to be married to each other and live their dreams. But there was only one problem.
Sara and her family belonged to a strange church governed by an oppressive set of rules. Jon was told that in order to marry Sara, he would have to join the church and live by its rules. He was warned against it, but his love for Sara and his trust in her blinded him to all the warnings.
He began the training and soon realized things were not as he had originally thought. But he stuck to it, in hopes things would work out. Everything came to a head on the night of his wedding when Sara was taken from him.
Does Jon escape the clutches of the church? Can he ever repair his relationship with Sara? Does he get the justice he seeks? Find out in “Rules.”
You can read an excerpt of “Rules” on my site, here. Then go to Amazon and grab your copy. I have reduced the price of that e-book to $2.99 for at least as long as it remains the featured book of the week, so grab your copy now.
Right now, “Rules” is only available in e-book format, but at some point in the future, I may offer this book in paperback.
3. Featured Free Story of the Week
The featured free story for this week is “Tip of the Spear,” my second Sheriff Ryan Caldwell story.
Written in 2022, it’s the second story featuring Ryan Caldwell, a cheated husband-turned-mercenary who is now Sheriff of the fictional town of Hard Rock, Texas.
This story follows “A Father’s Justice,” and takes place before “Tip of the Spear,” both of which are posted at Literotica and Medium.
You can read an excerpt of “Tip of the Spear, Pt. 01” at my website, here.
