Ever since I began this journey to become a novelist some 15 years ago, I have been troubled by something that comes along with it.

That is, how to promote my books without coming off as prideful and self-focused.

Authors pour everything they have into their books. They want and need as many people to buy and read their stories as possible. Of course, if it were up to them, their books would be translated into a hundred languages and read with zeal around the globe.

So once we do get our books published, what are we to do? We must get the word out! That is the primary reason I have Facebook and Twitter accounts, and this website--simply to spread the word about my books.

In doing so, I hope you readers will share them with book-lovers within your circle of influence, and that they will share with theirs. I hope you'll post reviews on Goodreads and Amazon. I hope we'll sell a million copies. Because, frankly, if we don't, I won't be able to do this much longer.

Just something I've been needing to get down on paper. 

 
 
A lot of people are asking where they can get the ebook version of my new thriller, FEAR HAS A NAME . . .

Well here it is, all on one neat landing page created by my publisher.

I'll share more about this thriller in the days ahead.
