We are finally settled into our new home and I now have some time to come out and play. Yeah!!! Anyway, I'll browse through posts and share comments. I'm hoping now I can devote some time to Gather . . . more
"Actually, small publishers have their own stores online, but not very many people buy from them. Online buyers prefer Amazon. Honestly, I think everyone will be doing POD, eBooks, and in-store printing . . ." more
"I'm the eternal optimist, so I'm hoping this is another indication of the down trend in the economy and it will go back up again. However, I think this will change the way big pubs do business. . . ." more
"I think the main message here is to go out and buy books. The returns are not the ones we bring back to the book stores, it's the ones the book stores can't sell that go back. Anyway, buy books..." more

Since you asked . . .things are great my first book deal "Conjuror" is due to go to press this monday Published by 'PublishAmerica.'
Here's the back cover . . .
There are things worse than death, worse than suffering, worse than flesh it self. There are treasures so hideously wicked, so dangerously tempting, and games so seductively evil no shape shifter can resist. Amid the embattled false worlds of flesh Rolland Shackleton dared to follow beyond what the normal human being can achieve, stealing what had been impossible to steal. Not even the Nebulicides that lurk in the heart of the galaxies would dare interferer with the galaxies most difficult game; in trying to obtain the most prized possession known to Nebula; the Hyperlink. Now times running out and the vendettas once planned to set things right have now been infiltrated with criminals from an alien planet, and are now there to set things right. Only they're not alone, and when they who live by the flesh and those who die by the sword confront each other in the vastness of the Maggelanic cloud interstellar chaos, murder, and mystery ensues imprisoning Rolland Shackleton locked in a terror fortress of his designs, and he'll have flesh to pay for it. And no soul above or beyond is safe from the ravaging fear, and the unspeakable debts of the Conjuror.
