Happy New Year

Happy New Year Like Minds friends! 

First of all, I want to thank everyone who's taken the Like Minds adventure with me.  Thank you for being such a supportive community.  Your comments and reviews have really overwhelmed me. Thank you.

I hope 2015 has been as exciting for you as it has been for me. Publishing and marketing a book has been quite an experience.  It's a roller coaster taking me to places and doing things I've never done before. While all that is quite exciting, I haven't focused as much on writing.  The cardinal sin of authors.  I do occasionally drop a flash fiction entry over at my writing blog Disruptive Thinking but I'm talking about book writing, more specifically sequel writing.  You know, the story that comes after Like Minds. Yes! there is one in the works.

I'm not a big fan of New Years Resolutions, but setting goals can really help get stuff done. So my goal this year is to get the sequel to an editor before the end of the year.  With a job and family it's a tall order, but I'm already several chapters in, so. . ..

Here's to the New Year and a new story!

Book Signing at Art of War

Like Minds fans and friends, I'm excited to announce that I'll be doing a book signing event on June 13th at Art of War Gaming and Miniatures in Cincinnati.  They've invited me to participate in their 5th year anniversary. I'm honored to be part of their celebration.  So come join us and bring you copy of Like Minds, or get a copy when you arrive.

In case you haven't heard, Art of War is Cinci's premier gaming store with miniatures, gaming supplies, and all things tabletop. They also carry a select set of fantasy fiction books, including Like Minds.

So join me for the first Like Minds book signing and other gaming fun on June 13 from 1:00PM to 4:00PM Eastern at Art of War 8269 Beechmont Ave. Cincinnati Ohio 45255. 

I can't wait to see you there!

Like Minds eBook is live!

After over 13 years in the works Like Minds is now available as an eBook.  This is a major milestone in my love for telling stories.  A lot of people encouraged me and helped me along the way.  Major thanks to Jill Oldham for helping me hammer the book into shape.  Huge thanks to the fantastic artist Patrick Laurent for the amazing cover design.

The eBook version is up and the treeBook version is in the proof process.  I'll update with progress as I have it.

Coming in 2014

Like Minds is coming soon!  With over a decade in development my first book will be out by the end of the year.  I've learned quite a bit about story telling over the years and am excited to get to share this project with the rest of the world.  I've received a great deal of excellent help and great support from my family on this journey. I'll post project updates at the novel site and the novel facebook page.
