Celebrating forty years with a new cover

My birthday was last Saturday, so this is my first post in the fourth decade of my life. I received an early present. The talented Rachel Cole from Littera Book Designsachieved the impossible--capture the essence of my story--and delivered a terrific cover for my new release, Deeds of a Master Archer.

Here it is:

Ain’t it cool!

The short story will hit the Kindle store around the end of August, so stay tuned.

The Inevitable Blog Tour

I guess it is time I come clean and explain all those posting and tweets announcing interviews, reviews and guest blog spots. Well, as it turns out, I’m in the middle of a blog tour. Of course, new to this as I am, I failed to prepare a one place to show all. Well, that ends right now, if not for my benefit, at least to help the next author stumbling into the dark room of online promotion:

It all began on April/27, the day that I also launched my free day with Amazon Kindle Select program.

April/27: I was invited to write a blog post for Chris Redding's blog. I decided to explore about our relationship as authors with our own characters: here's the link:

April/30: W.S. Gager's reporter-with-an-attitude Mitch Malone decided to press his luck and put professional hitman Robert I Prescott in the spot. Now, who would do such a thing on purpose? :-)
