First Book Signing


 Hey Hey,

I will start with that it was a smooth and uplifting week! My day job went smooth and pleasant and then came the best part of the week, the book signing event at Antilles Trading Company in Cocoa FL. I was very pleased that Jackie and Ashley both said that they enjoyed our company and how we interreacted with the customers. It didn’t matter if they were buying my book I still engaged with people and promoted the store and museum. Well as for the actual signing here it is. I have worked with big names over the years and have zero jitters when running events but, since this was an all new unexplored event I had nerves. Well the weather was great and the environment inviting so I calmed them nerves and had a great experience and look forward to future ones. (Hint) They are in the works. Needless to say I met some great people and made good contacts. 

Sorry no new book review this week but I am listening to one and it is another long one so it will take me some time. But I am not without something for you. As some of you may or may not know I did a couple short reading videos from the new book and I now have them lumped together on YouTube. Here is a link;   https://youtu.be/BAv31FxLzyk?si=gytmPCo43FDdvPEl

Alright I know I mentioned an announcement last week and that is probably what you are looking for. I have been as you know seeking a Literary Agents for over a year now for a book I authored that had awesome reviews from beta readers. I have had a couple interested but find I am still sitting at square one. Plus word is it is easier now to win the lottery then get an agent for fiction books. With my personal efforts and seeing small rewards beginning in the self-published market I said I would make a decision in April as to how to proceed. I have decided to self-publish again and kick off this new series “TIMES CASTAWAY” with the first book Blackbeard’s Treasure releasing this summer. The goal is June but I now have to start the process and planning. Keep an eye out for this new adventure.   

I am also looking to run a giveaway coming up so be sure to be signed up for news updates.

Until next time have a great week!

  Hello Me Maties, This past week was spent continuing to promote the new book  Times Castaway Book One Blackbeard’s Treasure . I am pleased to say that this book has had readers/listeners every single day for over a week now. Just need to keep it going!  I have to apologize as I still have not finished the audiobook Argentia Station yet. Just didn’t get the listening time I needed. BUT!!!! This is not to say that I don’t have a REVIEW for you! My wife Debbie and I were invited to attend the premier screening for a fan made movie  PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN – THE IMMORTAL SWORD . In short this is the tale of why Jack Sparrow already knows Davey Jones etc. This is about events that took place prior to the first movie Curse of the Black Pearl. The setting for our viewing was in St. Augustine FL, located in the Colonial Quarter directly across from the old Spanish Fort, our screen an olde canvas style. Truly fitting!  This as a ZERO budget filming as per restrictions...

The Rattler & Anniversary

  Howdy,   Well this week we will officially say goodbye to Summer. This means cooler weather is on the way. For us here in the south this is a good thing as we will return to great temps and hopefully dryer sky’s. For those in the north get that winter coat out and check your car battery for cold cranking and all the other things required to prep for winter.   Besides the end of Summer this week Monday also brings another anniversary for Deb and I. Monday the 21 st  we hit 27 years since we said, “I DO!” I will not sugar coat it as it has not always been smooth sailing and like any relationship we have hit bumps and potholes in the road but my wife is still my best friend and the love of my life. We will keep moving forward, Love you Deb! (See picture for from the Wedding and inset bellow the reception.)   I know everyone is waiting on my Audio book review but I am going to make a quick note on  Times Castaway Blackbeard’s Treasure  first. This past w...

The Immortal Sword Second Screening

  Hello Me Mates, This past week saw yet another steady week with the day job and a couple friends losing family members unexpectedly. I offer my condolences to them and yet again a reminder to always make use of the time we have together and don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today.  Like always for most book’s sales are down this month and this is very common as July is considered a bad month for book sales. People like us are busy enjoying outside activities and even though many are still reading, history and studies show the amount is way lower in July and August. Hey, I still have sales so I consider this a good thing.  I am continuing to work on book two of Times Castaway. As I make this run through where I clean up sentence structure and wordings I find even myself pulled in making it difficult at times as my mind begins to wander and things get added. Well that is writing, let the adventure continue.  Alright let’s get to the title for this week’s BL...
