Writing and event updates |
| |
In this issue, my novels are now available on Audible, and I have upcoming author events and updates on my work in progress. |
| |
You can now listen to my novels on Audible with virtual voice. |
| |
If you prefer audiobooks, my publisher Black Rose Writing now offers my novels Amiga and The Remainders through Audible with virtual voice narration. If you don't already have Audible, you can get either book for free as part of your free trial.
You can still get these and my other books on Kindle from Amazon and in paperback wherever books are sold. |

Why you, as a reader, should go to these author events |
| |
There have been more author events lately thanks to the growth of independent bookstores and our desire as authors to connect with readers. If you haven't been to an author event lately, whether it's me or any other author, I encourage you to do so. It comes from a lesson I learned at auto shows when I was a teenager.
And if you run an independent bookstore in Southern California, and you would like me to do an event there, please let me know. |

The latest on my work in progress |
| |
This has been a busy time for me with work, taxes, setting up author events, and daily tasks. Work on my new novel has been slow, but steady. I'm over 32,000 words.
In a recent TikTok video, I talked about how a Twilight Zone episode inspired a character I added to my story.
I should be able to get back to my manuscript once my schedule frees up. |
