New Novel Out
Heads Up: A Cold Poker Gang Mystery… That’s right, I almost never announce one of my books here, but a lot of people have asked me when the next Cold Poker Gang novel will be out, so it published yesterday. There, I announced one of my own books. Don’t expect me to do that much this next year. I am gaining speed again so will publish too many things to do that. However, I will have a writing web site that will be different and I will announce that around the first of the year. There you can track what I am publishing. So anyhow, here is the sales copy…

Saving The World Storybundle Almost Done!
ONLY DAYS LEFT… I set off to put this Storybundle called Saving the World together with a goal. I wanted to find as many ways as possible to save the world and as many worlds as possible to save. I figured that would be really fun for me to read and I hoped that a lot of you would feel the same. And what I was lucky enough to end up with is eight novels and two major collections of short stories, all fantastic. And fun. And on top of that, four of the books in this bundle can ONLY be found in this bundle. That’s right, they are exclusive…

A Really Pointed and Fun and Funny Book
Judge Bubba’s Christmas Letters. I mentioned this book last year and wanted to suggest it again this year because you will not only feel good reading these Christmas letters, but laugh and identify with much of it. Basically, you know the typical form letter you get from family or friends at Christmas? Well, these ain’t nothing close to typical. Judge Bubba decided the standard Christmas letter might be a little staid, so instead of polishing up and ignoring the funny or bad stuff of the year, he just puts it out there in a sort of story. Actually, a really funny story. Every year for twenty-one years. And this book…

I Curated THE UNIVERSE BETWEEN Bundle
THE UNIVERSE BETWEEN BUNDLE Just Launched… The Universe Between Bundle I curated this bundle and I had great fun with it. I grew up on Twilight Zone back in the late 1950s and through the early 1960s. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I heard the sentence, “In the middle ground between light and shadow…” in that opening sequence to the Twilight Zone. Thankfully, my parents didn’t seem to mind that I watched that show every week. And for some reason that sentence out of the opening sequence stuck with me for my entire life. I loved living in that middle ground. All my writing falls in the middle ground…
