Back to School Special!

If you recall, some months ago, I said that I hoped to finish the first draft of my second novel by the end of the summer.  Since I turned on my TV last night and saw a college football game, it seems like that time has come (although, in our house, summer won’t officially end until the kids go back to school next Thursday).  At any rate, I didn’t quite meet my goal – I’m up to about 85,000 words and the end is in sight, but more work needs to be done.  I’ll let you know how it goes.

Meanwhile, in celebration of fall’s arrival, I’m putting Peripheral Involvement on sale.  For the next two weeks, you can get the e-book version for just $0.99.  That price will apply across all platforms – Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Google, Smashwords – wherever you can find the e-book, it’ll be $0.99.  If you’ve already read it (many thanks for that, by the way), this is the perfect time to recommend it to a friend.

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!

Mid-Summer Update

Summer is just flying by, isn’t it?  I can’t believe it’s August already!  July was packed full of family fun, and there’s more on the way!  In between, though, I’ve tried to buckle down and push myself to finish the first draft of book number two.  I’m up to 80,000 words, and I think the end is in sight!  Of course, getting through the first draft will only represent the end of the beginning, but it’ll still be a big step.

Last week, Peripheral Involvement received a wonderful review from Richard Bunning.  You can see it here (scroll down to the bottom of this page – it’s #15 on this list), or you can also see it on my Amazon, Goodreads, or Barnes & Noble listings.  Many thanks, Richard!  I’m so glad that you enjoyed it!

As a result of Richard’s review, Peripheral Involvement has been awarded a place on the Awesome Indies list of quality independent fiction.  So I’ve got that goin’ for me.  Which is nice.  You can check out their site here.

I also posted an interview on Awesomegang.com (not related to Awesome Indies – just happened to do two “awesome” things at around the same time).

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
