Radio Interview with WRPI

Thanks to Dr. Ray Werking and the great folks at WRPI for my radio interview last Sunday, November 11. It felt like I was coming home. It was a great pleasure, and the guys there in the station had a terrific sense of camaraderie as we discussed my Young Adult novel THE PROMISE OF LIVING. Dr. Ray was so insightful and warm and it was if we were traveling on the same wavelength. He saw what I am trying to say with this particular novel, and he delighted in its refreshing themes. A big MAHALO to Dr. Ray and his WRPI team! 

CHARIS BOOKSTORE SIGNING

I had a blast at Charis Bookstore in Atlanta, Georgia on November 3, 2012. Thanks Elizabeth and all the staff there for supporting my books, especially my latest novel THE PROMISE OF LIVING. 

THE PROMISE OF LIVING

Exciting news! My new novel, THE PROMISE OF LIVING is out! All the e-versions are available on www.smashwords.com and the paperback version is on Amazon. I am proud of this one, three years in the making! 
It's a different genre than the time travel series. This is a Young Adult novel, the coming of age of Ryan Colton in Wilson's Ferry, a small town in rural New Hampshire. 

The Promise of Living is a heart-rending coming of age novel of sixteen-year-old Ryan Colton and his quest for his own authenticity. Ryan's mother died when he was young, and he and his father carve out a tenuous but trusting relationship. Ryan works on Lee Hemmer’s farm with his best friend Dave in Wilson's Ferry, New Hampshire, a stifling, small town where, in 1975, everyone, it seems, has something to hide. Ryan has a mysterious series of premonitions and visions that reveal the darker secrets of the townspeople. His gift becomes overwhelming when he visions a murky murder at the high school and cannot prevent its occurrence.

Ryan seeks the help of a Boston transfer student and a famous psychic to not only focus his gifts to solve the murder but to finally accept his own personal feelings for Dave. Ryan struggles with his own power of being different in the world and knows that the true resolution lies within him.

Cape May, Atlantic Bookstore

I'm here in Cape May for the summer where Tony, the manager of the Atlantic Bookstore right in downtown Cape May, set up a special display for my two time travel novels: IN THE NICK OF TIME and THE TIME OF HIS LIFE. I visited the store yesterday, and it was fun to see my work: my sweat and blood and tears (ha!), alive, on the shelf, and prominently displayed in a local bookstore. 


Support your indie writers! Support your local businesses! Thanks Atlantic Bookstore!

Burning Through Books

I found out about Burning Through Books and wanted to donate to their terrific Literacy Program. They are based in Denver and I emailed a contact person named Evin and mailed off both of my novels IN THE NICK OF TIME and THE TIME OF HIS LIFE. Another excellent agency that could always use our support.
