My Writing Crash and Reboot

I am so grateful for the opportunity to guest post on fellow published author Ciara Knight’s blog. Ciara writes Paranormal and Fantasy Fiction for Adult, Young Adult and Middle Grade.

My post is a personal account of why the work on my follow up book to The WILCO Project suddenly stopped and what I am doing to start writing again.

Thanksgiving Kindle & eBook Sale-$1.99

In honor of one of my favorite days of the year, we have decided to put the Kindle, eBook, and PDF versions of The WILCO Project on sale for a limited time for $1.99, beginning November 21, 2011.

Thanksgiving for me means food, family, and football. As a kid I remember driving to my grandparents farm in rural Ohio to spend the holiday. The men and boys spent the morning out in the woods cutting and splitting firewood for the upcoming winter. Early afternoon, we would return to the farmhouse and enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving feast with our grandparents and all my, aunts, uncles, and cousins. After the meal, we all stretched out in front of the TV to watch the afternoon football games with most everyone falling asleep! Later that evening all the leftovers would be pulled out and everyone would feast again.

Throughout this glorious day, my family constantly stressed the true meaning of the holiday–giving thanks for all the blessings bestowed on us. To this day I marvel a how fortunate I am. I have a wonderful family, a successful career, my health, and (sometimes) my sanity. For all of this, I am thankful!

Lastly, thanks to all of you out there that have read my book. There are no words to adequately express my gratitude–all I can offer is: THANK YOU!

THE WILCO PROJECT eBook Sale!

Happy Father’s Day! I am pleased to announce that the eBook (PDF) version and Kindle version of The WILCO Project are now on sale. If you’ve been putting off purchasing the book, now is a great opportunity to save a few bucks and enjoy a great summer read. Don’t take my word for it–check out this review from PUBLISHERS WEEKLY:

“THE WILCO PROJECT combines murder mystery with elements of a technological thriller, blending the genres in a deftly written manuscript. The author provides a gripping opening with a female college student murdered while playing a mysterious campus-wide game in the woods. Readers are soon introduced to the rest of the cast of characters: Dr Steven Archer, former Internet entrepreneur turned professor, who leads a team of young computer programmers in the creation of the ultimate cell phone game; Bobbi, a school reporter, determined to find out the truth about the murder, even if it means putting her own life in jeopardy; Jonathan Holden, creator of the game and all around cad; Patricia, the angry assistant on the team who is sleeping with the head of the wireless company, Larry Hershman; and finally, Peter, a techno-geek who is invisible. After Archer discovers that the dead girl is Jonathan’s ex-fiance, he realizes that the The Wilco Project is a game of hide-and-seek, in which players use the phone to locate and destroy enemies. As Archer finds himself investigating the first murder and a subsequent one, he is led down one path after another. While this plot is a new take on an old thriller genre, the author delivers a well-executed thriller.”

Please tell you friends and neighbors about this sizzling, summer sale!
