Rooms Kindle Giveaway Has Ended & NEW FANTASY BOOK UPDATE

The ROOMS Kindle eBook giveaway has ended, and I hope everyone that downloaded ROOMS will enjoy reading it. Thanks for participating!

UPDATE!

CAVE OF DREAMS

As you can see, I've chosen the title for my new fantasy novel. It will be called CAVE OF DREAMS and will be the second book in a series that will follow my fantasy/mystery novel titled Beatrice. Each of the books after Beatrice, though, will be able to be read independently of the others.

I'm truly enjoying the work on CAVE OF DREAMS. I did a lot of research prior to the writing of it and am doing even more as I go along. I'm working hard to make sure it is authentic to Scotland and to the time periods within the plot.

The first four chapters take place during AD 500 and lay the foundation for what happens in the rest of the story, which will take place in modern day Scotland. The book looks like it will be my longest to date, and the plot will be intricate and complex as well as being a lot of fun to write.

I'll let you know more as I progress, but I think it will be at least another six months or so before the book is ready to publish. We'll see how things go...

FREE KINDLE eBOOK OFFER FOR BEATRICE: June 1-5 & UPDATE YOUR KINDLE COPY OF ROOMS

Beatrice is an adult fantasy/mystery novel that takes place in Scotland.

To learn more about it, you can go to the BOB'S BOOKS tab at the top of this blog.

Update your Kindle copy of ROOMS:

And...don't forget that if you bought ROOMS for Kindle, you can get the updated version on your Kindle or Kindle Reader APP by calling Kindle Support at 1-888-280-4364 and asking them to update your current version of ROOMS.

Letting You Know What's Been Happening!

ROOMS HAS BEEN REVISED
Well, it's been a very busy three weeks since my "Writer's Block" post. Yes, the writer's block went away, and I decided to finally do a major rewrite and edit of Rooms before starting on the sequel to Beatrice. The rewrite is done, and I'm very pleased.

After I completed The Chosen, my writing skills had improved by then, and I wanted to bring Rooms up to the same level as The Chosen. Since they are companion books, it was important that they match up. That's the reason for the rewrite of Rooms. I worked hard on the whole book with special emphasis on the first four chapters. I think the two work together better now, and I'm especially pleased with the new first chapter of Rooms.

I will let all of you know when the changes are published on Amazon in both the paperback and Kindle versions. If you have Rooms in the Kindle version, I would recommend that you wait for the post indicating that the updated version is live on Amazon.com in order to update it on your Kindle. I'll even tell you how to upgrade to the newer version in that post.

If you'd like to read the first three chapters of the new version, just go to the BOB'S BOOKS link at the top of the blog. You'll see the link to the revised chapters.

FIRST AMAZON REVIEW OF THE CHOSEN

An Excellent Read!

I was excited to read the author’s sequel to Rooms, and he did not disappoint me. I was thoroughly impressed by the author’s capacity to not only successfully weave an intricate plot, but to create a variety of complex characters and societies that enriched and promoted that plot. I was kept on the edge of my seat the entire time as I read of the struggle between the Loonites and The Chosen to gain control of the Earth’s newly regained resources, the tiny outposts scattered throughout the galaxy, and the human’s who inhabited them. Which society won the right to change the course of human history? I will never tell. However, I will say that it was worth reading the entire novel to find out.

HOW ARE THE AGENT QUERIES GOING?

If you've been following my blog, you'll know that a few weeks ago I sent out a lot of agent queries for both Beatrice and The Chosen. This is my second time to do this, and I've received a lot more responses than before. Also, the responses that I have received have been more instructive and personal. It's been more encouraging, but I still have no takers. It's just the nature of the business, and in the meantime, I'm doing my best to improve as a writer and storyteller. It's not easy to be rejected, but it's part of the process, and I'm determined to succeed. I'll keep writing, thinking, dreaming, and creating!

BOOK PROMOTIONS AND GIVEAWAYS
Also, recently I have run some promotions for all of my books on Amazon. Those promotions have not only increased my readership, but I've received more reviews, and I believe it has kept my books in front of the public because I've continued to sell books every month.

I will do more in that area soon. I'll let you know when that happens and what the nature of the promotions will be.

Thank You!
Thanks to everyone that has one of my books! I hope you have fun reading them! When you finish, if you could write a review, comment on my blog, or send me an email, I would really appreciate it!

Building Readership and Continuing Agent Search

The last three weeks have been all about building readership. To accomplish that goal, I've used the kindle giveaway and free paperback giveaway, and I'm looking forward to hearing from the many people who either downloaded the kindle version of my books, received a paperback, or purchased one of them. It's been a great couple of weeks. A total of 785 books have either been downloaded or ordered from many countries around the world.

During this time, I haven't written anything, but I have worked on ideas for my next book and future books. I've also been looking for an agent again. Last time I did this, I received some positive feedback but haven't been picked up by anyone yet. I know this is a long process, and in the meantime I will keep writing, studying, and working on my craft.

I want to apologize that I haven't been able to continue writing any short stories or poems, but I know at some point that I will get back to those. Ever since May of 2013, I've been incredibly focused on my novels - writing 5-6 days a week, 6-10 hours a day. The break I'm taking from writing right now is both necessary and welcome, but I'm getting the itch to begin again soon. I believe that my next book will be a sequel to Beatrice - another fantasy/mystery. That could change. We'll see.

Thanks again to everyone, and I hope you enjoy the stories!
