You, Too, Can Write a Bad Novel

 Hello, all. 

Just a quick note to let you know that I'm still alive and still writing. For the past few months I've been working on a book on writing. I completed it and published it on Amazon.

It's called: You, Too, Can Write A Bad Novel: If I Can Do It, Anyone Can

https://www.amazon.com/You-Too-Can-Write-Novel-ebook/dp/B0GQCL6PMP

A few rather innocent authors in my circle suggested that I had a knack for editing and seeing the problems with stories and that, thus, I should write a book on writing. I accepted the challenge and the above is the result.

I wrote it to help those foolish enough to try to write their own novel get to the finish line, incorporating humour and my own history of doing everything the wrong way first time.

If you have an interest in writing, you might want to take a look at it -- check the "look inside" feature to see if it appeals to you. Let all your friends know of its availability should they decide to stumble down the path toward authorship.

That's all for the moment, but stay tuned for an announcement a little later this week.

Live the joy.

The Bridge at Farnholm's Gap (New Book)

 Hello all.

Just here to report that my latest novel, "The Bridge at Farnholm's Gap" is now live on Amazon.


The Bridge at Farnholm's Gap

Vlan has wanted one thing all his life: to become a soldier, master of sword and bow. When he finally breaks free from his father's suffocating expectations, he chases glory straight into a nightmare -- a blood-soaked bridge of myth where men die, but legends are born.

Teona studies magic under the wandering sorcerer Stine, drawn as much to the man as to his craft. She dreams of standing at his side—as apprentice, as lover, as equal. But Stine walks a darker path than she knows, and following him will lead her into fire she never imagined.

The Bridge at Farnholm's Gap looms over Vlan and Teona like a harbinger of treachery, fire, and death -- all of which they must face with courage and hard steel should they hope to survive. But courage and hard steel can't even the odds, and often the brave and the valiant fall when desperate choices fail.



This book stands as a companion book to A Throne At Stake, expanding on an action that happened "off screen" during the events of that book. It is also a sequel of a sort to The Steadfasting, though it takes place about 20 years after the events described.

I hope you enjoy this book, and pick up your copy soonest. Take care and


Live the joy
