On This Memorial Day...

I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day weekend! In between the barbecues, picnics, family gatherings, and evenings with friends (oops...forgot READING a good book), please take a second to remember those who--through their sacrifices--have allowed us to enjoy our freedoms today. For me, I remember my grandpa James Grossart, who fought in France during WWI, my dad Jim Grossart, who fought in the China-Burma-India theater during WWII, and my wife's grandpa, Leroy Vankirk, who fought in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France and Germany during WWII. Lest we forget...

Give 'Em a Read!

It's been a while since I've posted these, but here are the links to the promotional videos for THE COMING and THE MENGELE EFFECT...both for sale at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Diesel, and Smashwords.  Give 'em a read!

...and don't forget to give my web page a look...

Web Site

If you haven't taken  look at my website for a while, click on over!  My short story titled THE COIN is coming along nicely...I was looking at a fall release, but it might be sooner...stay tuned!

New Zealand? Wow!

Sorry, but I have to geek-out a little again.  It took about a month for the sale to show up, but last month someone in New Zealand bought THE COMING from Amazon.  New Zealand, you ask?  Why yes, New Zealand, I say.  Wow!  ~7,900 miles away!

Okay, I'm done now.  All better again.

New by Dean Koontz - WHAT THE NIGHT KNOWS

I just finished reading WHAT THE NIGHT KNOWS by Dean Koontz.  If you're a Koontz fan, you'll love this one!  The writing is incredible & the story is chilling...I think he may have channeled a bit of H.P. Lovecraft this time!

JEREMY - Excerpt Re-Write

If you've read the excerpt for JEREMY, I invite you to take a look at "Version 2"!  Click this link for my web page & head to "The Hopper" section, where you can download the revised excerpt.

If you've read the previous version (or if this is the first time you've read an excerpt from JEREMY), let me know what you think!

I Like 100 Even Better...

My last post wasn't entirely accurate because I missed a bunch of downloads from Barnes & Noble...SOMEDAY DREAMS has been downloaded 100 times!  That's WAY cool!

40? 40. I Like That Number...

No, it's not my birthday...I already passed the 40 mark a few years ago!  I do like that number, though...

(Okay, time to geek-out a little again.)

As of tonight (as far as I know from the different eBook retailers), I've sold 40 novels since I decided to publish THE COMING and THE MENGELE EFFECT earlier this year--twenty of each, mostly through the Amazon Kindle Store and Barnes & Noble.  The coolest thing though, is my mom's essay, titled, SOMEDAY DREAMS, has been downloaded 79 times!  It makes me happy to know almost eighty people have the opportunity to read something Mom wrote...and I hope they find it just as special as I do.

 

 I'm done geeking out.  All better now.

THE MENGELE EFFECT - Back Below 100K @ Amazon!

THE MENGELE EFFECT is back below the 100K barrier in the Kindle Store!  Sitting at #96,210...at least for a little while!

SKINNER Excerpt Re-Write!

If you've already read the excerpt for SKINNER, I invite you to take another look...I've made some subtle changes.  Click over to my web page & look for "The Hopper" section...you can download the revised excerpt for a quick read!  And, as always, I welcome your feedback!

THE MENGELE EFFECT - What a Jump...Again!

I love it even MORE when this happens!  THE MENGELE EFFECT is now sitting at #46,957 in the Kindle Store!

THE MENGELE EFFECT - What a Jump!

This afternoon, THE MENGELE EFFECT jumped from ~#410,000 in the Kindle Store to #80,099!

I love it when that happens... ;)

THE COIN - Excerpt Available!

An excerpt for my upcoming horror short story titled, THE COIN, is available for reading at my web page!  Take a look!

SOMEDAY DREAMS Slowly Moving Up...

A few months ago, I published an essay my mom had written back in 1985, titled SOMEDAY DREAMS.  Since then, I've watched its ranking at Barnes & Noble slowly rise...starting in the #400,000's, and now sitting at #86,789.  Its a very special piece of writing to me, and apparently, to others as well.  Its free, because I wanted to share it with as many people as I could...

"A passing thunderstorm and a robin's song provide a lesson on living, loving, and losing...one woman's reflection on life. "

If you haven't seen it, it's available at Barnes & Noble and Smashwords.  Take a look!

You bought MY book? Really? THAT's COOL!!!!!

Sorry, time for me to geek out a little here.  March sales:  As of this morning, I've sold 10 books (three of THE COMING, and seven of THE MENGELE EFFECT) during March, both here in the states AND in the UK!  Not only does that mean I'm inching closer to the point where I can say I've made enough money to fill-up my Mustang (once), but even more importantly, I can say...[here comes the geeky part]...WOW!  With the endless variety of eBooks out there to purchase & read, I can't help but feel pretty darned excited that someone wanted to read one of MINE! [Okay, it's safe, the geeky part is over now...]

Here's where to find them:
