Beach Wedding


 Greetings,

The past week started rough with a few bumps as life continued to toss out it’s challenges, but here we are. “Just batten down the hatches and ride it out until ye reach calmer waters.” 

Part of the past week included a couple jobs for my alter ego’s (DAY JOB). All went smoothly including a basic set for sound on the beach for a small wedding. Hard to believe that after all these years in the biz and over two years at this location on the beach, this was my first beach side set up! It went very well and I received an email from the groom thanking me for helping make it a wonderful success. He wanted to play a song from his phone, and even though it is a small item the adaptors for phones there are multiple types and he forgot his. Well I had his back so away we went. It was warm but the weather was perfect making it a nice little ceremony. Wish them all the best!

Sorry I didn’t get a book finished for a review this week and with everything I have yet to start another but I did pick out a couple and added them to my list. One reason I didn’t get one started is Amazon has retired a virtual voice I selected for the Inanna Swynford Pirate Hunter book. So I had to go in and select a new voice. The good part is that forty new voices were added and they are much more expressive. Well needless to say I selected one and that I like, so I needed to give a listen to make sure pronunciations are clean for those odd words and pirate lingo. This takes time!

I know a few of you are into Adventure on the high seas so if you enjoy some folk style music like Sea Shanty’s I recommend a group of singers called HOME FREE. These guys are excellent and their harmonies are beyond superb. 

One other singer I would like to share is Swedish singer Tommy Johansson. This dude is extremely talented and seems to be able to sing anything. He has a ton of covers that are just rocking, but he also has multiple originals to give a listen to also. I think one of his best is his cover version of the Outlander theme song. It is actually my favorite version of this tune. 

Alright, I am sure as many of ye know I like to run specials around the Holidays. This week I have marked down my original series Project Umschreiben to $1.99 on Kindle. Also Starting Sept 1st through Labor Day Inanna Swynford – Pirate Hunter will be only .99c on Kindle. Get your copies now! 

Until next week have a safe and happy unofficial end of summer week,

Wally

  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...
