Good morning...
Here's hoping that everyone is doing well as we head into springtime. (Of course, since we live in Florida, it's already summer here...heat and humidity.) At this point, I'm editing the paperback proof of The Falls: The Trial, or actually I've finished, and now my patient and wonderful wife Carolyn gets to be my Beta Reader. Should have that done as well as editing the template for CreateSpace.com within the next two weeks. Then order one more proof to just check it out and it will be published on CreateSpace, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and other book stores. The Falls paperbacks are also on the lists for libraries to purchase as well, so if you'd like to read them and your library doesn't have them, let the librarian know.
I'm about a third of the way done with the 20th book in The Falls small town mystery series, The Falls: Inferno. Bet you have a pretty good idea what the main plot line is just by the title, right? Well, be patient, there are some twists and turns.
The short free promotion for The Falls: May Flowers, book 8 in the series, was very successful. Two hundred and eighty-three free eBooks went out. I try and do a free promotion every few months. Sort of like giving back to those who can't even afford the $2.99 price. Giving back always feels good, whatever it is you do.
I'm running ads every day on at least six Facebook pages (over the years I've accumulated a lot of pages where I can reach thousands of readers...always looking for new ones) for the latest in The Falls small town mystery series, The Falls: Prodigal Twin. That gets a bit tedious and I hope I don't bore people, but it's necessary. I'm the only publicist I have.
It's almost the end of the school year. We have another grandchild graduating high school. So we'll be off to celebrate their success in a while. I'm sure many of you have the same type of thing coming up. As a teacher and a principal, I've gone to my share of graduations, and put on quite a few. But watching my grandkids graduate has a special feeling. Okay, okay...I won't get all sappy on you. Let's just say that I love them all...a lot. They mean the world to me...as do our kids...shhh! don't tell them! Our kids did a great job raising them...and they mean the world to us.
Until next time, keep writing and reading. Remember, words create vast new worlds, inspire our minds, touch our hearts and souls and reach out across every language, race and religion. Words unite us and make each of us special. Words rock!!!!! May the dragons watch over you...
