What book could you read over and over again?
I generally don’t read a book twice.
If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?
Mallory Blackwell from a series of books by Steven F. Freeman. I like her fighting style and how she works with every obstacle thrown at her.
Hi and good morning, afternoon, and evening to everyone. Great news. My book cover for my book, The Cross’s Key, has been selected to participate in a contest/competition for Book Cover of the Month. I need your votes. Below is the link to cast your vote for my cover. Any and all votes are hugely and graciously appreciated. Please and Thank you🤗😁😀😊.

Learning is never-ending. Even if you know quite a bit in the area you are interested or work in, there is still something to learn about it. If classes come available in your area, free or paid, take it. It doesn’t matter how much you know already. Take it. This past Saturday, March 4 (2023), a free class about self-publishing came available through the Willamette Writers at the library here in Oregon, USA. I’m a self-published author and have published my own books three times now. I did that without a class because Amazon provides a wealth of free tutorials and videos to assist an author through that process, so I learned a lot having done that.
This doesn’t any mean I know all there is to know about self-publishing. The online tutorials and videos are great, but participating in a live classroom experience on the subject provides a wider range of information on the subject. I had an opportunity to talk to other authors who are self-published to get an idea of what they do. I enjoyed it, and I still learned more than what I already knew. So, whatever area you are interested in, learn even more about it.
Next up on the publishing agenda, I will be publishing a book of all of my short stories on Amazon in the coming months. I am pushing for mid April. Between now and then, I will be tweaking each of them with more details (characters, setting, and soforth), editing, and formatting. I will update this post with link info as time gets closer.

Yesterday, I decided to put together a book with a collection of my poems (found here on this blog). I submitted the hardcover to Amazon yesterday and is currently under review before going live. Today, I will be working on getting the paperback on Amazon as well. Then the Kindle edition will follow. I will update this post with link(s) when they become available.
Here is the link to my poetry book collection. At the moment it is found in paperback and hardcover.
