To celebrate, Spring has been lowered to $1.99 and Summer has been lowered to $2.99! And if you have KindleUnlimited, then you can get Spring and Summer for $0.00!

Mark your calendars for October 18th!

That's right. We've got a tentative release date for The Bowman's Inn: Autumn anthology, and it's 18 October 2015. I'm super excited for having been a part of this anthology, and not just writing for it. I was able to help out with proof reading, and got to see everyone's finished products, read in their entirety, in the order we've arranged for publication.

I have to say I am thrilled and amazed at the talent that's been pulled together for this collection. Everyone's put in tons of hard work, and I'm excited to say that the final product is one you folks will enjoy.

To give you an idea of what to expect, we have a lot of werewolves and shapeshifters, Greek gods, and Average Joes. There's something for everyone, especially if you're looking for a little romance...!

The leaves are turning red and gold in the city of Anteros. All Hallows Eve opens the gate between the worlds of fantasy and reality. Anything could happen as you look for your Soul Mate. And of course there will be a costume party at The Bowman's Inn. The bartender, Valentine Archer, will know just what you need. He not only looks like a Greek god, he used to be one. Cupid prefers to be called Val these days. But he still knows how to bring people together. 

Eight authors have combined their talent to bring you a collection of tales with romance, mystery and maybe a little humor. The delightful short stories feature characters who own or operate the facilities of the Bowman’s Inn or are just passing through. Whatever the case, Cupid has a way to help each of them find what their hearts require.

The Bowman's Inn: Spring

The Bowman's Inn: Summer

So while you set your alarms for Sunday, October 18th in anticipation, you can also check out the first two anthologies in the collection.

I've read these, and loved them, and can say they are perfect little short reads for the commute to work, break times, and that 15 minutes of downtime you want to spend reading something but don't want to get engrossed in a novel.

You can easily read through Spring and Summer to get ready for Autumn!

Chat at you follks soon! And enjoy the reading :)

I'm alive, I swear!

Yikes! My last post was the tail-end of June, and here I'd promised more frequent updates. My apologies, folks.

Lessee . . . bringing you up to speed, I'm taking a break from editing Tragedy of Ice at the moment while I work on a romantic short story for an anthology called The Bowman's Inn. I'll be submitting a short for their Autumn collection, which is on schedule to be published in October of this year.

The short story exploded, too. I wrote out the short, then decided before doing revisions to do some free-writing, to get a better handle on the main characters. Well, it became 11,000 words of back story. Then another 18,000 words of back story. Now it's 54,000+ words (including the word count for the short story), and I can still do more with it.

I've decided that once the publishing rights revert back to me for the short story, I'm going to release it as an expanded romance novel. I'm looking forward to it, as I think it'll be a great treat for those who want to read more about the characters' shared history.

Aside from that, I've got to get back to my Appalachian Dream Tales soon. If I want to stay with my publishing schedule for those, then the next one, "Comeuppance", will be out in February 2016. Once I'm through the milestone with my Bowman's Inn short story (which, btw, the name for it is "No Signal"), I'll be back on course, doing the revisions for "Comeuppance" and getting the story cover ready to premiere.

That said, I doubt I'll be able to do much writing this weekend, as it's the holiday and family is in visiting from out of state. Going forward, I think what I'll try to do for the next few months is bring you folks a bi-monthly update. I'll shoot for every 15 days, so look for my next post near September 20th.

See you then!
