Status on the release of The Lost Sheep
I've been away too long! My apologies. I have a son getting married in December and a major addition taking place on my house, so I've been a bit distracted. My plan is still to release The Lost Sheep this year, preferably this month. I've taken it apart and am doing some major revisions to the manuscript. I felt that it needed faster pacing in places, more excitement. I promise it will be worth the wait!

Independence Day -- because Freedom Isn't Free
I'm pleased to announce that The Orphan Ship is available on Amazon and Amazon Kindle -- just click on the links on the right side of this page to go directly to the site. The Lost Sheep is almost ready for publication. The cover art (thank you, Nathaniel) and editing is done. I'll be at Holden Beach, NC, with the family next week -- no internet connection -- so The Lost Sheep will be on Kindle the week afterwards. Hopefully the book will be available by the end of the month.
Meanwhile, I'm writing the final book in the trilogy, tentatively entitled The Last Orphan. I'm still miffed that I somehow managed to misplace my plot outline for the book -- I'm usually very organized -- and now have to try and piece it together by memory. The bad news is that my memory isn't very good, but the good news is that the story will probably take on some new twists and turns if I don't have a plot outline! I figure by chapter five I'll have to sit down and plot out the rest of the book. Never fear, the trilogy will have a satisfactory conclusion with all the loose ends pulled together. I hope.
My mini-soapbox speech: freedom isn't free. Let's never take for granted our 1st Amendment rights to free speech and freedom of the press. We are very blessed to live in a nation where we have access to millions of books; our choices are unlimited. Next time you visit a public library, think of how wonderful it is to have a wealth of knowledge, entertainment, and adventure at your fingertips. Without the 1st Amendment, our choices of reading material would be severely limited to what the higher-ups think is 'appropriate' for us, which means millions of books would be banned and/or burned, just like in Nazi Germany. Without the 1st Amendment, we would also have limits to what we can read online. This is a reality now for those who live in China. They have limited access to social media -- Facebook or blogs -- and the news that's published is strictly controlled by the Communist regime.
As an author, I'm grateful for the freedom to write whatever I can imagine. I am grateful for the vivid imaginations of the brilliant authors that came before me. A world without Twain or Tolkien or Tan, Dahl or Rowling or Suess, would be very dull. So what are you doing on here? Log off and go read a book!

The Orphan Ship on Amazon.com next week!
Thanks to the genius of Createspace, I'm re-publishing The Orphan Ship. You'll be able to order copies of the book on Amazon.com for $10.95. Kindle downloads are only $3.99. Thank you to fellow author Tamara Ward for helping me format the manuscript, and thanks to my friend Cindy Harrison for helping me with the cover layout. The cover art is by my talented son Nathaniel. He's currently painting the cover for my next book, The Lost Sheep, which is in my editor's capable hands right now. I think it's on schedule to be released on Kindle by mid-June.
I'm also pleased to announce that The Orphan Ship will be showcased at Printer's Row Literary Festival in Chicago in June, courtesy of Children's Literary Classics. The Orphan Ship was awarded a silver medal from CLC in 2012. I'm honored to have my work recognized at this huge book event.
On an unrelated note, I was thrilled to receive a reply to the email I sent to author Mike Shepherd. For those of you who don't spend every waking minute in the library like I do, Mike is the author of the bestselling Kris Longknife series. In my email, I asked him for some advice on publicity, and he said he would answer it in detail in his blog at www.mikeshepherd.org. I will share it here, with his permission.

The Orphan Ship now exclusively on Amazon/Kindle
With a lot of technical assistance from fellow author Tamara Ward, I published The Orphan Ship on Kindle; it will be available exclusively from Amazon for the next three months. Only $3.99, but keep an eye on my blog because I will have it available free for a few days in July.
The Lost Sheep, if there are no major snags, will also be on Kindle this summer.
