Hey Folks,
Draft2Digital, the distributor through which I distribute most of my books, is hosting a FREE webinar on May 10 on Marketing. This should be great advice for marketing both ebooks and paper books.
It will be presented by Kevin Tumlinson, who’s a best-selling author in his own right and the marketing director for D2D. I urge you to sign up (registration is required for attendance) and attend.

I’ve decided to retitle The Storytellers. It’s, uh… evolved. In a play on the syllable count in the song title “Like Desperados Waiting for a Train,” I’ll probably title it “Like Two Old Gringos Waiting for a Train.” 🙂 We’ll see. Maybe I’ll get lucky and it’ll evolve again.
To the Hovel at 9.
With many breaks, short and long, over 5 hours I put down almost 4000 words again today. I finished one story and part of another intermission. The book is racing along fine, both in short stories and in the novel that evelopes them.
See you soon. ​
