Busy Month Ahead

It’s starting to look like the next month will be a busy one.

At 5 p.m. on Saturday January 31 I’m speaking at Pressed Books & Coffee in Lakeland. Our theme will be flash fiction. Then I’ll be at the store at 4 p.m. each Monday afternoon in February to talk about writing and publishing with whoever wants to come.

The Writer’s Digest February Flash Fiction Challenge begins on Sunday the first and I’ll join several hundred thousand people committed to writing a flash fiction short story every day of the month. More importantly, all three of our sons are writing with me and we plan to combine our stories for an anthology at the end of the month.

On Tuesday February 3 at 7 p.m. is the launch of our brand new Word Weavers writers group at First Presbyterian church on Lake Hollingsworth Drive.

My new novel titled Bekker’s Burial goes live on February 21. Plus I’m getting started on a new nonfiction book.

Meanwhile, Linda is spending a week with a friend while I go to Colorado to see my son and grandson. So yeah, lot’s going on . . . but I love it!

Books Available Almost Everywhere

I really appreciate the independent bookstores that have carried my books. The first to do so was Wordsmith Bookshoppe in Galesburg, Illinois. And recently, Pressed Books & Coffee in Lakeland, Florida said they’d be glad to find space on the shelf for my books.

I recently found out that all of my books are now available at the major booksellers websites. A few weeks ago I was on the Barnes & Noble website and decided to type in my name and see what might show up. I was surprised to see my books there. Then I checked Books-A-Million and a few other sites. Same thing!
