NEW COVERS! I decided to try some Sponsored Products ads on Kindle and submitted six of my eight suspense, thriller-novels, which have been out on Kindle for an average of two years. The ads per se consist of the cover and a small blurb of text. Well, the “Thought Police” in far away India took offense […]

Never Go Back, a Jack Reacher Thriller by Lee Child Book Review
Everybody likes the Jack Reacher series. He is the no-nonsense hero of 17 of Lee Child’s action-adventure novels, two of which, including this one, Never Go Back, have been made into movies starring Tom Cruise. Cruise is an improbable pick to play Reacher, but the movies are very good, as are the books. I liked […]
Kindle Unlimited: The New Paperback
Amazon rolled out the Kindle Unlimited program a little over two years ago.

My Writing Blog – What to do with Pneumonia.
Thriller Book Reviews – I’ve been struggling with a bout of pneumonia for ten days and too tired to keep hacking away on the draft of my next novel; so, I set it aside and dove into my Kindle Fire, where I found Michael Connelly’s “The Crossing,”, Lee Child’s “A Wanted Man”, and Daniel Silva’s […]

How Writers Write — My Writing Blog
How Writers Write – With my eighth book now out on Kindle, I thought I would start a blog page and periodically share some thoughts and information on writing. Ever since I began writing, I’ve been fascinated by the way successful writers write – – the physical and mental processes they use, where they write, […]
