Do you still write books?


 I'm an author with more than sixty titles and more on the way with four currently under contract in various stages of the publishing process. I write for four publishers at this time - Evernight Publishing, World Castle Publishing, Champagne Books and The Wild Rose Press. Although I've been writing for most of my life - we'll get to more about that in a moment - I've been a published author since 2010. 

My latest release was on June 28 and the one prior to that May 15 and on February 8. If you count the backlist and no longer in print title I put up on Kindle Directing Publishing at the end of June, that's 4 this year so far.  That's not counting a story in an anthology from Evernight that's upcoming or a contract signed this past week for Book 2 of my Laredo series.  Last year, 4 total....for more, just check out my author page on Amazon here:

My books are sold in many places, not just on Amazon, for the record but that's the easiest list to access that has them all.

So yes, I still write books. I have several completed manuscripts not yet submitted and many in my ongoing Laredo series. The first title in that will release from World Castle Press. When I have a date, so will you.

Almost from the time I could read, I wanted to be an author, to write books. Before I became one, I wrote many things, had short stories and non-fiction in many magazines and anthologies. I worked in both broadcast radio and print journalism, eventually serving as the editor over two small town regional papers at the same time.

I wrote my "first" novel at the age of ten, penning it in the back of my blue cardboard three-ring binder in the 5th grade. Needless to say, it was excellent practice but didn't advance anywhere although my dad thought it should.

So, yes, I still write books and always will.



A family story to share

  Earlier this week, on April 15, I noted a family milestone and it had nothing to do with taxes. Thomas Jefferson Lewis, my great-grea...
