Still Alive - Just Not Writing...Much...

Thanks for looking at my bookshelf and sorry for the shortage of posts and news. But the truth is, I haven't really had anything new or interesting to report. I haven't written any stories lately, because I've been creating and programming computer games with my children. We have been using BlitzMax, GameMaker, and Construct 2 tools.

I hope to get back to writing soon when it feels right, but in the mean time, please poke around and look at my past works. Have a good day.

Sales Average for Last 18 months

Well, I've sold over 600 books during the last 18 months, which actually meets my original goal of selling an average of one book per day. Obviously, these numbers don't equal fame or riches, but I still think it is pretty cool. Also, there seems to be a trend of promising growth over the past six months as I've had monthly sales of 24, 30, 25, 45, 53, and 40.

Hope springs eternal for the rest of the year.

New Covers for Children's Books

It was time to update the book covers for my Simple series of children's books. My originals were pretty plain and uninspired, so I tried to jazz them up a bit. So, here they are. I like them much better than before, although I might still tweak them again.
