Most authors who have some books and stories published will want to know what happens overall with respect to sales. So do I. I used a spreadsheet for a long time but that became so huge and clunky that I needed a better way. I didn't find one, so I made one. Being a programmer it was easy to come up with the framework for my own sales tracker program. Note: I did not have earnings and income from the…

It won't be a surprise that strange things are happening in and near the village of Sunrise, where Hilda and her family live. Queen Isla reports things gone missing, while Krypteria, now head mistress of the Magic School, sends someone over to Hilda's house because they have 'a problem' on their hands. As Hilda and family find out, more things have gone missing in various places, and they're all the same things. Suits of armor. Unsurprisingly it's up to Hilda…

Not only does he have to work with strange technology, visit odd bars and dangerous waters, his boss's daughter isn't making life easy for him either. Is he destined to fail again or will…

The twins Alexander and Alexandra, and their parents, inherit a house from suddenly and inexplicably deceased relatives. Uncle Reggie and Aunt Henny hadn't been close relatives lately, so this inheritance is quite surprising. A suitcase is the twins' legacy, which looks like a very small thing, but with the items they find inside it, a new world is opening for them, and that in the most literal way. The Other World gets them in touch with magic and a lot…

Yes. Today I brought out a new book. Rhys. It became a huge one, but Yahoo Groups ended and I couldn't save the text I had written for the story. As this story was growing into a part of a larger 'world', where Rhys interacted with many characters that others on that author mailing list were writing. I think that went on for at least 2 years, and the ending was quite impressive. You may be able to imagine how…

Meet Rhys. The young man who lives in Din Lligwy, Wales, in the time that the expansion of the Roman Empire is extending to the British Isles. Rhys just wants to be a Druid, and happily married to Keyna, the girl he had his eye on for a long time. The Roman invasion of England doesn't pass Wales by, and that's the start of a very strange journey for Rhys. Suddenly he finds himself in places and times he could…

You may see 'my own store' pop up in places on book-pages. Yes, I'm trying to help people who want to avoid buying from the big tech bro places like Google, Amazon, etc. Click that option, find the Kindle you want to send the book to (one of the many Kindles you own, no doubt!) and then, in the details, you can find the email address where to send the epub file: You do need to make sure that Amazon…

Angie Kimball works as a collections manager and curator at the History and Heritage Museum and she loves her job. That happiness gets a big hit when a huge statue of Ramses II suddenly disappears without a trace. That disappearance is the start of a string of strange events and flashbacks with connections to ancient Egypt. A harp seems to play a crucial part in these connections, and it will deliver some amazing help in getting things back to normal.

Moving house is always a strenuous task. Just when Kai Wolffe is about to settle into her new home, things start to get weird. She pulls a woman from the ground in her garden. Her name is Inira, and that's just the first unusual thing to discover about her. Irina needs to get back into her own world, but because of an unfortunate mistake, Kai ends up there with her, with no way back. Explore a world that's as round…

Another blog post. I'm not good at them, it seems, but then, there's never much to report about writing. It's writing this story, then that story, it seems. Today is different. Today I'm excited to tell you about a new story I've written. Okay, I'm excited about nearly all my stories, but this one is quite remarkable, as it deals with the now and ancient Egypt. Why am I so excited about this story? Because it's so intense. It jumps…
