Good afternoon, my friends,
Sorry, but I didn’t get to the blog yesterday - just too much work to do.
One thing I forgot to mention the other night about my talk with Bob Calvert is it is available to be heard 24/7 on his website:
www.talkshoe.com/tc/19487 Scroll down a little and you’ll find a green square in the right center that says, “Talking with authors from the Military Writers’ Association of America”. Click on that.
I listened two nights ago and enjoyed hearing the other authors talk about their novels as well. Check it out - I come on about 25 minutes into the program.
Check out my home page for info on the plots and storylines of my novels, plus ordering instructions. We also offer PayPal.
We see more visitors from England joining my website and we wish you all a Happy New Year. Become fans of my writing - you won’t be sorry. Ask any of my customers.
I’m finished editing my latest novel, “Palmyra, Isle of Death”. Now to take it to my computer expert, make the changes, correct the back cover and send it back to LuLu to print again. Then I can look at it ONE more time in another proof, approve it and offer it to you to purchase.
I am also re-editing my next novel, the third in the Trilogy of lighthearted crime tales, “The Texas Two Card Hole ‘em Heist”. In this one, Roger, Carl and some of their gang steal the twenty million dollar final prize right off the table of the World Poker Tour in Las Vegas.
It’s a fun tale, one which will keep you guessing and has a great ending.
After five books, you’d think I had my stuff together, but I’ve noticed my past efforts contained many sentences I call “reversed”, so I am attempting to make sure the remaining ones are perfect.
Here’s an example of what I’m talking about:
“What’s going on?” Richie asked when he awoke to hear someone pounding on his door.
It should read: When Richie awoke to hear someone pounding on his door, he asked, “What’s going on?”
It says the same thing, but puts the action in the proper order. First, Richie heard someone pounding on his door. Then he asked his question.
Do you see what I’m getting at?
Anyway, although I doubt most readers will mind, I know it’s a bad habit of mine, and one I’m attempting to stop.
Our weather, which has been fairly mild for the past few days, is supposed to turn colder this weekend - it figures!
I keep looking for more orders in the mail, but perhaps it’s the economy that’s preventing you for ordering my novels. That’s why I lowered the price to $16.00 including tax.
If you haven’t purchased at least one, please give me a try. I know you won’t be disappointed. Everyone enjoys my stories. Join the crowd.
Until next time,
Vaya con Dias, my friends,
Karl
