Look.
It is hard to put good books online and even harder to get readers! So it is your lucky day!
For one more day, the first four books of The Aspen Series are on a free promotion. Grab them while they are on me! 
You can visit my Amazon page for download information!
*Noble Courage
*The Price of Power
*Tears of Penance
*Salvation of the Forgotten
Okay. I have been working feverishly on the next book in the Aspen Series. You know, I could just throw out some content for my readers. However, that is not my way. I have enjoyed certain series’ of books on occasion. My biggest complaint is that toward the end, things became too predictable…too, well, complacent. I hold a fairly high standard for reading an entire series. I would expect nothing less from my readers about my work.
So, I agonize over every detail. I may have typos here and there…I may not always follow the correct punctuation (my largest downfall)…But if you can live it as you read it, I was successful. For me, every book should be better than the last so that readers don’t tire of your storyline or even feel a lull in events resulting in loss of fans.
Of course, there has to be a certain amount of hills and valleys to keep things interesting. But it is when there are an overabundance of valleys that turn a reader off. I pray that my readers never feel bored of what stories are locked within my mind. And once Aspen’s has been told, I can only hope that my continuing works will be just as entertaining.
Here is the new trailer for The Benevolent Light! Enjoy!
As many of you know, there are influences of real people in my writing. Ever wonder if one of them is you? Muahahaha….(evil laugh)
GOOD!
When you see people as you live your life, snuggled into your little cocoon, think about how you treat people each day. There are some in my book that will meet some nasty ends because of the way they treated me.
Is that wrong? Well, I don’t think so. I never name those who are in my book, I just take some traits they might have and twist around the story so it fits.
Yes, there are those in there I love dearly. There are people who have passed on that are on those pages. And there are those who treated me badly. Some live long and often not so happy lives and others perish.
Do I enjoy this? Well, yes. For me, it is like therapy. I can do anything I want to in my world of characters and it does make me let go of some very harmful feelings. I see nothing wrong with this, in fact, I believe that there are authors out there that do the same. Many don’t, they use their world as an escape. I do both.
How do you know if you are in my works? Ask and I will tell you honestly who you are. But before you do want to know, think about what relationship we have. You may not like the answer you get. Do you want to be in my works? Let me know. I’m sure we can come up with something. lol
Does this make me evil and unimaginative? Heck no! I think it is genius. We are surrounded by villains and heroes all the time. Why not glorify them for who they are to you?
No one knows all of my secrets…very few know any of them. Maybe one day I will spill it all!
I know I am not alone when I say that I live drama.
But when you want to read drama, what types of things make you engaged in a book? How far off the beaten path can you read before you never touch a book again?
Am I asking because I am out of ideas? Well, no…I know what I like to read and that is what I write. I was just curious as to what happenings others think make a great novel.
If you are an avid fan, feel free to let me know some of your favorite events that you have read in my books. Who is your favorite character? Have you cried?
I am 260 pages into The Benevolent Light right now and it isn’t going very quickly. So what I mean is that I have had no inspiration to guide me right now. I do open the file each day and look at it, my brain says, “Let’s do this!” and my heart says, “Oh Hell no!”
My project funding failed for the webseries so that has to wait now. Am I disappointed? Most certainly. When something is your life…your passion, a lack of support shreds your heart and you flip it the bird and forget you have that dream. That is how I feel, numb and making it through life just one day at a time.
If this is how “normal” life is, I want out. Treading water, being stagnant through life is not for me. But I never get used to disappointment either. So which is worse? I can’t answer that yet.
I do miss my friends and if you are reading this, you know who you are. I have holed up and tried to forget that I have them. I have tried to immerse myself in my family. Now, I just feel flat. I need a little of both worlds maybe. Perhaps I just don’t know what I want.

You may or may not remember that I have been writing a short story for an anthology collection. I posted the first bit for your enjoyment. It is meant to be the prequel to my YA series, The Legends of Renaissance so have a really awesome time! 
On Wings of Silver (Teaser)
Well, I got approved to start raising funds for my filming project. While this is very exciting to me, I am nervous as well.
To read my full post on my project, the ins, the outs, my hopes, my fears, just look read my blog post!
With the new year here, I decided to start making some moves.
I am gearing up for a project that is so very awesome, I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am about it!
Click here to see the diary post I wrote on it earlier today. I am going to try to keep you all updated with the different components I am working on to make a webseries happen.
Pssst! Be sure to watch the video. It took me hours to put together…
I appreciate feedback on what I write. Most of the time it is positive, sometimes it is not so. I very much appreciate the time it took Jim to read my book, gather his thoughts, and write me some constructive criticism. That means a lot to a writer.
Thanks you, Jim!
For all of you who have read my work, loved my characters, and have been LOUD about what you love, I applaud you. I could not do it without your loyalty.
I am anxious to see my work on the screen…any screen. A movie would be amazing, but I must be realistic about it. So I am working on making my own dreams come true.
This means, I am currently working on writing my books in screenplay format. I would like to produce one chapter…or so…at a time to be an “episode”. One episode would air on YouTube each week.This would become my own little series.
Today, I contacted BSU’s theater department by email to propose my idea and asking for students to help me out. With a little help from the community, this could become a real life project!
I plan on starting a “kickstarter” fund raiser to help pay for this little venture. If I’m lucky (and if you are lucky), we will be able to translate my series to the screen!
TweetI am opening up a bookshelf on my sidebar where you can advertise your books on my site. I will be fairly picky about who I let on here, just because you want to pay the $5 to be included doesn’t mean I want to place you without looking at an excerpt of your book.
This is a great opportunity to be seen by another audience and expand your reach! Contact me for details!
Have a great week!
