Order The Books - Sell the Books

It's that time of year again. I made a rather big order of my books for distribution, this summer. I peddle these to local and area booksellers and take them with me on speaking engagements. 

We Got a Few Drops of Rain With a Very Nice Sunset Today

I like having the ability to sell books out of the trunk or a big box. Great chance to talk with readers. I sign all of these books, and my nonfiction books have a custom bookmark with them as well. I am looking at designing another bookmark for my westerns. Right now I just enclose a nice business card with web and blog sites, and a where to, for purchasing digital books. 

I Ordered Copies of All But My Two Young Adult Books
 Next Month for Those, as I have a Few Left From Last Purchase. 

All projects going very well right now looks like I will, at last, get my new book out - timeline now by the end of the month. After that, I have another historical fiction and a novella, a western that should follow relatively quickly. By then the snow will be in the air, and it will be time to get back to work on my nonfiction. 

That's about it for now - keep reading and keep writing.

You Can Find Me Everywhere

I posted on my writing site last week that, “Lately I have been a bit dismayed at my book sale totals.”   Then the next week I sell more books than I have all month – go figure. Difficult to tell when a book might sell. I am not very good at self-promoting even if this site was built for that.

Working Away - Even If I Am Too Slow

Seems to be a slow time for both my writing and publishing. Seems to me there was some old saying that went something like this, The hurrieder I go the behinder I get -  or something similar. That is the way I am feeling right now. I had a book scheduled for release the last day of February and it still is sleeping ZZZZZZZZZZ on my computer. I am getting closer, now hoping for an end of May, fingers crossed, release. 

Sometimes Old Looks Pretty Good

Meanwhile, keep on  reading, keep on writing and for me, keep on editing. 

Since hurrieder and behinder are not real words, I am sure spelling will not matter. Had no idea how to spell either. I think that old saying was on a napkin holder when I was growing up. 

Looks Like It Is Going To Be A Terrific Year For Wildflowers In Wyoming

A Read to Remember Growing up in the 50s and 60s

At last, it is looking like spring, time for a good book to read on the deck, or if you have one, the front porch. If you grew up in the fifties or sixties, these are the books for you. They were written for kids or for grandparents to read to the grandkids, but make good quick reads for anyone with nostalgia for their growing up years, way back when. These are the first two of a planned series of five, which might turn into six.

Fast paced humorous reads, of growing up in the 50s.  Oh, but they are fiction, and that is the reason for a friendly but odd, Ghost in the first book and a mixed up Zombie in the second.

Book 2 - Click here to take a look

Give them a read see if you can pick out the real from the, just for fun. By the way, the third book, due out this summer, has a couple of senior citizen vampires. As if we old people are not scary enough.

Available as books or eBooks and free with Kindle Unlimited. Take a look, read the free sample or download free with your unlimited subscription.

Selling the Books

So great to see my book of Christmas shorts still selling. I thought it might slow down but am grateful and surprised to see it still selling. It is not ranked as high as it was at one time (up to number 84),  but has climbed back into the top ten percent of all books selling of Amazon.

3 Books

Nothing says crazy like working on three books at the same time. 

I am either bored or unable to make a decision as to what to do next. At present, I continue to work on my non-fiction work dealing with the opening of the West, Fort Laramie, Oregon Trail, Indian wars. I am in my second run-through of my fiction book, Ghost of the Fawn, an Arapaho modern day tale. Then, as if I didn’t have enough to do, I started working, again, on my Wyoming history book. The book deals with the time period of the first tribes to 1900. It will be short and concise, a travel book, pick it up and read about Wyoming as you travel through the state. I am even considering making it in a size that it can be tucked in the glove box or into a back pocket.

Well, that’s it this week, two days of snow and a week of cold days. The photos on this post are all from this week, but I will admit that some were taken as I sat in my pickup. We did get out for one hour long hike. We are looking forward to a trip south but that is still a few weeks away. Now, maybe I should get that mystery I was working on a couple of years ago, it was pretty good and . . . 

Selling the Books

My nonfiction book,  on Guernsey State Park 

 and my western mystery, Commitment, are starting to sell again.

 Must have just been the, after Christmas book buying blues that slowed down the sales. 

See my Amazon site here.

If you have not yet taken a look at my books, all available in soft cover and EBook,  please take a look - and thanks!

I am hoping for an early spring, already combing through the garden magazines in anticipation.
