The 2nd book is here

The experiment continues.

Vengeance (formerly "Endurance") is now available on the Kindle and on Smashwords (and on Nook, etc.). This one has a sly dog (see him on the middle banner?), a fantastic hero (Nico), and a great heroine (Lucinda). Check it out!

We have lift-off!

Whoo! Penance is available on Amazon, right here:

 

It was very, very easy to do to get it uploaded. I'm still waiting to get it 'approved' in Smashwords, which means it will then be available in multiple formats (.epub, .mobi, etc.)

So stay tuned -- the ride has begun!

I have a cover!

This is the first new cover for my History Patrol series. I am so excited. It came out just as I wanted, unlike the first time around.

I wanted to call the book "Penance" the first time it was released, but my publisher wanted a different name. So I used "Forgiveness." And the cover ... well, it wasn't what I was looking for.

I wanted to show it was set in the 'old West', and I wanted the dog on the cover -- the dog is the manifestation of James in his second life, his reincarnated life.

The artist tried to convey a 'shadow life' but it didn't come out quite the way I envisioned it. The cover for Penance does convey what I wanted, and having the tag-line on the cover is necessary, I think.

Anyway ... I am happy! And I can't wait to see what my cover artist does for the rest of the books in the series!

Oh, and the artist? Kim Mendoza -- she did all of my Wild Rose Press covers, and I love her work. If you're interested in having her work for you, she can reached at: admin@writesftk.com. She'll be glad to talk to you about some freelance cover work. Her rates were reasonable and she's easy to work with on designs.

What's Up?

The History Patrol books are in flux right now...

They used to be available via Cerridwen Press, my publisher, but that publisher no longer has that imprint. Consequently, the rights to the History Patrol books were returned to me.

I'm working on getting the books ready for release on Amazon, etc.. What does this mean? It means three books will be available this spring, with another 'new' book (i.e., never released before) coming later this year. I'm working with an artist for cover art, with a formatter to get the books ready for digital print, and with Smash Words to put the books on their web site.

So stay tuned ... and click on some of the tabs above to see what The History Patrol is all about and what you can expect in the coming months.
