‘Last Promise’ Cover

Presenting the cover of my latest book! I’m extremely pleased with the way it turned out. The folks at Miblart did a fantastic job on the design. The book goes on sale on June 4th. Last Promise is a post-apocalyptic story set eight months after a disaster killed most of the world’s population. Eyrian’s wife was one of those who died, and he promised to join her in death.

Kudos to Denise and Lindsey, who sat at the tables beside me and had to put up…

What I Do as a Writer

I got into writing because I like doing it. So why is it I get to do so little? I’m now working on the second draft of my next novel, and it’s going a lot slower than I would like. This is mainly due to all the many other things I need to do. Marketing, in one form or another, takes up a lot of time. It just gets so frustrating sometimes. But if I don’t do it, people…
