Tracking sales ranking

I’ve been confusing my friends and family a lot lately due to my addiction to Amazon.  I don’t mean shopping, I mean watching other people buy my books.  It’s unhealthy, and I understand that it’s unhealthy, and I can’t seem to stop.  Or make an… Read full post »

Portland Book Review

A new review today from the Portland Book Review, which gives Hellenic Immortal three and a half stars:

Hellenic Immortal is an amusing tale of Adam, a man who has a dry wit, fierce intelligence and a strong desire to keep living. Adam is a fun character, keenly observa

Just a quick note to let everyone know if they didn’t already, Immortal is available for sale on the Kobo e-reader.  (Hellenic is not yet listed.)  Given the sales ranking there, I imagine quite a few of you have already discovered it…

Immortal on Kobo

Your attention please

I have begun writing the third Immortal book.  It has no title yet, so let’s just called it Immortal 3.  Either that or The Search for Spock, but I think that’s been used.

Busted finger? I feel that, bro.

As an aside, I have some kind of tendon damage… Read full post »

1. Immortal and Hellenic Immortal are both doing very well, both in terms of sales and reviews, however…
2. …there is more press coverage coming.
3. Eventually.

The press… Read full post »

Note: Every now and then, in the course of promoting a book, things are written for submission to publications, and these things are meant to be a combination of topical, conversational, and self-promotional.  And every now and then these things are not picked up by the targeted media source.  This… Read full post »

A new addition to my TV reel

I appeared with publisher Amanda Hayward yesterday afternoon for a spot on KCAL channel 9, CBS Los Angeles.  The subject was the rise of erotica and the e-book, so Immortal, while appearing in my hand, was not discussed.  BTW, there was simply no way to not… Read full post »

Some thoughts on an interesting trip

This was only my second time in New York City– and when I say that I mean midtown– as an adult, and the first time I didn’t stray from 34th and 8th the entire time.  A few stray thoughts.
