New releases for ‘Our Cyber World’ and ‘Tracking Jane’ coming…

Why am I releasing two books from two different series on or about the same time? Insanity comes to mind. Having no clue about how to publish or promote books is another possibility. If you read through the end, you may find another clue. Brownie, episode 4 of the Tracking Jane series will come out […]

Ghost Writer, now in-work again

A while back I mentioned I was working on a side story to the Our Cyber World series: Ghost Writer. Now that I’m wrapping up one novel in the same series for release in December (that would be Beisbol Libre, of course) plus a novella in the Tracking Jane series, I am starting to look […]

Beisbol Libre: When the Story won’t write itself

A while back I reported that my stories were writing themselves. I had that experience with Decisive Moment first, and more recently, with the Tracking Jane series. Well, until the last episode took a little pushing. Why? Because not all stories write themselves. In fact, I count my blessings when I have one that does. […]

Introducing Tahoe-1, episode 3 of the Tracking Jane series

A writer’s work is never done. I’m finding this particularly true of my Tracking Jane series. Now that Waiting for Shadow is out, I can focus on editing and putting the finishing touches on Tahoe-1. By way of intro, I’ll leave you with a snippet of Chapter 1 (still in draft, so it may change!), […]

A quick note about the Tracking Jane series

If you have been following the news, the Tracking Jane series is humming along. Waiting for Shadow is available from various eBook stores, free (forever!), and the first two episodes, Shadow-7 and Rover, are ready for downloading to your Kindle e-Reader. I will soon release episodes 3 and 4, Tahoe-1 and Brownie. I have structured […]

When the side story becomes the main story

Sometimes, when you’ve been doing something for a while, even something you enjoy, you need a break. This became the case for me two months ago, when after working hard on the Our Cyber World series, I got the idea to write a short story about a wounded Army dog handler and her wounded German […]

Waiting for Shadow, early release and download

I wanted to drop a quick note announcing that Waiting for Shadow, the prequel to the Tracking Jane series, is now available as a Smashwords free download. It is also available from the Kindle store where I hope to have Amazon recognize it as free download soon. Below I include a few details and a […]

Vote for these covers for Brownie, episode 4 of the Tracking Jane series

Today I want to share a couple of candidate covers for episode 4 in the Tracking Jane series. This episode will feature a chocolate Labrador Retriever that Jane McMurtry trains as part of a sting operation against a Mexican Cartel. Most of the action will take place along the Mexico-US border. There Brownie and Jane’s […]
