For the Adults!

Just a FYI, if you enjoy creepy horror you need to take a listen to my short story "Swallow". It was recently narrated by Mr. Creepy Pasta and it has 5,789 views as of writing this!

Updates As Promissed

I have a good amount of updating to give you... Let's start with the Touch-a-Truck event. It was a huge success and I owe a lot of that to my wife Stacey who spent many hours making bookmarks and posting about the event on Facebook. Even though she's going through some medical stuff she came out and supported me.

We sold several bookmarks and handed out a ton of promotional bookmarks to promote Owen the Pirate and The Hiccup Mummy.

Muzzles on deck!

Chris doing the promoting thing.



Meegenius is in the process of making book one public and the illustrations for book two are done and turned in. Jessika is doing an amazing job on the illustrations as usual and I can't wait to see how the "Owen the Pirate" series does.

I'll tell every as soon as the first book is up and running.

As for Hiccup Mummy... the first quarter sales report was just emailed to me.

January 2013:    144 copies sold
February 2013:  287 copies sold
March 2013:      196 copies sold

Total copies sold for the 1st quarter of 2013 = 627 copies sold!

Not too shabby.

As for the summer plans, I'll be promoting Owen the Pirate as much as possible and fishing out several manuscripts for other stories, including Beaver Finds Home and Mom's Mean French Toast.
