Hey everyone! I know I've been a bit quiet on Facebook and my blog, but it's all for amazing reasons! I've been hard at work on The Killing Ends ?—the thrilling third installment of the 'killer on the loose' Series. I'm almost done with the first draft, and let me tell you, Franklin Rogers is more devious and ruthless than ever before! He's really stepping into his role as an unconventional serial killer, with his unique choice of victims and the chilling message he leaves behind. I'm beyond excited about this book and the surprises it will bring!
But that's not all! I've been exploring new ways to get my books into your hands, dear readers. Limiting them to Amazon just wasn't enough, so now you can find my eBooks on a variety of platforms including Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and many more!
And there's more! I'm thrilled to announce that I'm producing audiobooks of my published novels. Soon, you'll be able to enjoy them on Barnes & Noble, Spotify, Audiobooks.com, and several other sites. Currently, Full Circle: A Life Story, Shadow Comfort, and Rhodesville: secrets - death - going back home are available as audiobooks.
As for my print books - besides being available to libraries, Bookshop.org is another place to buy my print books. They donate a portion of every book sale to independent bookstores to help them compete against Amazon. When you purchase a book, you can pick from a very large list of independent bookstores to have your donation sent. Here is their 'about' information from their website:
"Bookshop.org works to connect readers with independent booksellers all over the world. We believe local bookstores are essential community hubs that foster culture, curiosity, and a love of reading, and we're committed to helping them thrive.
Every purchase on the site financially supports independent bookstores. Our platform gives independent bookstores tools to compete online and financial support to help them maintain their presence in local communities."
All these exciting changes have inspired me to revamp my website. With six books now published and another on the way, having them all on one page was getting a bit overwhelming. Now, each book has its own dedicated page, complete with two or three sections to explore. Below are screenshots of Rhodesville's new dedicated page.
The first section will be the title, cover, and synopsis, along with a link to read a sample of the book:

Part two will be links to various sites allowing you to select the format (print, eBook, or Audiobook) of your choice and where to buy.

The Draft2Digital button you find under the eBooks category on the book detail pages will take you to a Draft2Digital sell page of the selected book. Draft2Digital is a book distributor that distributes my eBooks to a wide variety of retailers and library systems, including Smashwords, BarrowBox, CloudLibrary, etc. There you will find links to more sites where the book can be purchased or rented. If you don't see the eBook outlet you normally use, either with the links I provide or on the Draft2Digital site, check back often because the list grows as various Draft2Digital sites get the book setup.
Finally, a section with information about the inspiration for the book. Along with any other tidbits I may have relating to writing and publishing said work. Some book pages may not have this feature -- most will.

I hope you become as excited about the changes I am implementing as I am.
Please check back often for updated sale links and information about my writing.
Happy reading!
