The Proof

I've got several free downloads on my website. One of them is titled NIGHT STALKERS. It is the second book of my doorway trilogy. It is a YA science fiction/fantasy novel. It is there for a limited time. Soon I will be enrolling it in the KDP program which gives Amazon exclusive rights over my ebook. Which means I can't even put it on my own website.

SHANGHAI 1936

Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists in China were containing Mao’s Communists, but the imminent threat was Japan who coveted China’s vast material reserves and labour resources.

Shanghai, ‘the Paris of the East’, was the jewel in the crown, and with Europe distracted by Hitler, nobody would protect the threatened Western settlements.

The authoress, Stella Wong, said of Shanghai, “no city in the Orient, or the world for that matter, could compare with it. At the peak of its spectacular career the swamp-ridden metropolis surely ranked as the most pleasure-mad, rapacious, corrupt, strife-ridden, licentious, squalid and decadent city in the world.”

This is my prologue for my first novel, The Shanghai Circle, in the Chinese Circles series.

Okay, those have to be some of the funniest covers I have ever seen.

That being said, I guess I should share some news as well. It's not really good news, but it's not bad either. I just finished writing a story awhile ago, a Contemporary Fantasy/Romance, and am sending out query letters to get an agent. I've currently received 3 rejections out of the 20 letters I sent. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.

Give it a look.

Sharing is caring - and sometimes daring.

My new novel "The Dude Who Did Dictionaries" is now available on Amazon via Kindle Direct as a KDP Selection - www.amazon.com/dp/B00M0DUI8Y

Frank Flutie is a lexicographer who has waged war on the "perils of adultolescence" by leaving a high-paying job as a copywriter for an advertising company called The Banker and taking a low-paying job in a bookstore instead, ostensibly so he can write the first ever all sexual dictionary.

The "war" (and his dictionary), however, aren't going particularly well and, under the stress of his "self-imposed exile" from affluence, Frank has become petty and fatalistic -- "a shit hoarder whose dictionary would be better utilized as a flyswatter, a doorstop, or a paperweight".

Always broke, but too proud to accept charity, he rarely sees his few friends and cannot get the virginal Marlene in bed because (or so he believes), "If you got no dough, no woman will love you."

On the mantle in Frank's shabby apartment is a sickly but unkillable pet sea lamprey -- a jawless fish he abhors as the banner of the sort of "clockwork universe" he is fleeing from in his downward spiral.

In the course of his misadventures, we become grindingly aware that his radical solution to the problem of the money-world is no solution at all -- that in his desperate reaction against a monstrous system, he has become something of a monster himself.

"The Dude Who Did Dictionaries" is a behemoth valentine to Boston and a gritty, sprawling, depiction of today's recession-inflicted state of affairs.

My new novel Spinners of Misfortune is available as an e-book now at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, smashwords, etc. The Greek goddess Diana has hooked up with the Norse sky-god, Tyr. When he doesn't show for a date, she--as goddess of the hunt and witchcraft--tracks him down. He's shoulder-deep in a raging sea, trying to help Donar rescue a monstrous, black, guard dog. Magic caused the storm, and it takes Diana's magic to end it. But a battle begins as six spinners do their best to pit one Norse race against the other, and Diana, Tyr, Freya, and Donar fight to protect their lands and mankind.

To celebrate the new book, the first book in the series, Empty Altars, will be free on Kindle from Aug. 14-18.

A few years ago I wrote a children's short story based on our two family dogs. We had a big dog and a little dog. In the story, the big dog passes away and the little dog has to learn how to become a big dog. A year after I wrote the story, our big dog died of cancer. I never did publish it.

My Lions and Lambs Saga (2 books so far), A Gathering of Lions and Lambs and A Reckoning of Lions and Lambs, (that I wrote about 3 years ago) is a post-apocalyptic story where most of the world's population is wiped out by a viral plague that is a cousin to e-bola. Hmmm, hope this story doesn't follow the same pattern as the other one.

Here's a blurb for the Lions and Lamb Saga.


Plague, death, survival. This is the Apocalypse.

The second book of the Lions and Lambs Saga, A Reckoning of Lions and Lambs, is now available at Amazon, B&N, Smashwords, and iBooks.

This is the sequel to A Gathering of Lions and Lambs. The plague is deadly and unstoppable. Human civilization dies. But one teenage boy is determine to salavge as many lives as he can and hold on to civilization for as long as he can.

In book 1, Jacob Trimble leads his followers to a safe haven only to discover it is threatened from within.

I book 2, the threat comes from the outside world -- and it is more vicious than Jacob anticipated. He must learn the oldest law of the jungle: kill or be killed.

After finishing my master's degree, I've just started editing for a Goodreads author and friend. I've worked on 2 of his novels so far, and I am really excited about them. Learning how to become a better editor is high on my list of priorities, now that my academic pursuits are completed! Check out the books, if you like...
