I recently found someone who could create a map for the worlds my books are in. It's pricey. Not audio book pricey, but still pricey. Do you as a reader look at them? Will it change your feeling about the books and the world they are in? Which option are you? Maps we don't need … Continue reading Book with a Map or no?

With how crazy the world is at this moment, I wanted to celebrate even a small victory. So here it goes.... Woot! I pdf'ed Relic 2 up last night and sent it to the Beta readers.

Where did my new books go?
Hey how you doing? I was sitting in the office the other day and I realized that I had books on my shelf that I probably had not read in 10 years. (or longer) My office is mostly book shelves.
