South came out in 2013 with a state-of-the-art cover. That was almost ten years ago. The market’s moved on, but the cover didn’t. Until now. I needed a cover that would look at home on Amazon’s competitive “Conspiracy Thrillers” pages. The colors had to pop, yet not look out-of-place. This…
New covers for the DeWitt Agency Files
The covers for all three books in the DeWitt Agency Files series are now new and improved! Check it out… Why change? I’ve been puzzled why so many readers of cozy mysteries were buying The Collection, and why so few of them went on to the other…
The new face of the DeWitt Agency Adventures
The covers for both Zrada and Engaño are now new and improved! Check it out… Why change? It seems that the old covers didn’t fit the expectations for action/adventure covers in today’s market. They didn’t look like anything in the Amazon Top 100 A/A books list. Standing out is good,…
About language in Zrada
I’ve been getting questions about the language in Zrada. Not the swearing (well, some about that); the actual language. The most common question is a variant of, “Does everybody in the Ukraine speak fluent English?” The answer, of course, is “no.” Zrada is full of people speaking Russian or Ukrainian,…
Zrada lives!
At long last, Zrada has moved off my computer into the big world of online bookselling. As of yesterday, it’s now available for preorder on Amazon and Kobobooks. This is just a start. Over the next few days, I’ll be setting it up in Ingram (trade paperbacks) and in various…
Zrada now in beta
Beta readers now have Zrada in their (virtual) hands. I expect to see the first results within the next few days. This is always a time of mixed feelings for me. On the one hand, getting here means I’m almost done. On the other hand, what if I’ve been buried…
South now in Kindle Unlimited
South is now available in Kindle Unlimited. If you’re a member, you know what that means: South is now one of the bazillion books you can read on your Kindle as part of your monthly subscription. What does it mean for the rest of you? If you like paper books,…
It’s a Book!
As opposed to a boy or girl. Chasing Clay released today! As you can see above, it’s available on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited, and in trade paperback. However you get it, I hope you enjoy it. Happy reading!
Chasing Clay in Beta
Yes, I know. I never call, I never write. Beta readers are the folks who get to read the book after the worst problems have been worked out but before it’s ready for publication. Don’t envy them too much — they have questions to answer and have to put up…
The new face of The Collection
This is the final cover for The Collection. It’s surprising how consistently this version was the first pick for the people I asked, including my favorite indie bookstore owner. It reminds me of 1960s Saul Bass movie posters — appropriate, since Matt (Our Hero) likes old films. For this I have…
