 (Taken from the March 3rd newsletter) Hi, Pack Members! As many of you know, I'm currently working on my eighth novel with Clifford Crane as the male protagonist. After four centuries of adventuring, I've finally persuaded him to agree to an interview. I was a bit surprised he conceded, considering what I've put him through over the years. But he said he'd do it, and Clifford is a man of his word. The full interview will be published in my newsletter update later this month and also posted on this blog. In the meantime, I'm trying to gather some pithy questions for the interview. If any of you have something you've always wanted to ask Clifford, click the link to my Google Form below and ask it. Even if your question doesn't make it into the official interview, I'll make sure you get a direct answer via email. Here's the link: <Ask Clifford Crane a Question> In other news, I want to thank everyone who participated in the Decision 2023 Survey l

 (From the February 17th Red Wolf Pack newsletter) No, this isn't a political pitch--I realized the implications of the subject line after I'd outlined most of my newsletter, and I didn't want to change it--Decision 2023 is what I'm calling my process of deciding what my next writing project should be. And I could use your help. You see, Halves and Half Nots  will bring to a conclusion a three-novel story arc in the Spaceship Huey Adventures. I've enjoyed writing the series, and it's been mildly successful as far as sales go. But it's the 8th Clifford Crane novel, and I'd like to put the character to rest--at least for a while. I've got four choices, all projects I hope eventually to work on, but I need to focus on just one right now ( now  being the next few years). There's a science fiction, an epic fantasy, and two urban fantasy options. I can't think of a more qualified group than you guys to help me make the decision. Could you look at m

 (Taken from the February 3rd Newsletter) Hi, folks! I need some feedback. I've been working on the blurb for my next novel in the Spaceship Huey Adventures series. Halves and Half Nots is targeted for paperback release in the 4th quarter of this year, with an official ebook launch in January, 2024. The book completes a three-novel story arc and may or may not be the end of the series (more on that in a later post). This is not a romance --meaning I can't promise a happy ending--but it has romantic flavor, and I'm trying to emphasize such in the blurb. Here goes ... A mighty armada. A fleet of pirates. Can a desperate shifter rally a band of cutthroats to save the human colonies ... and the woman he loves? Clifford Crane's heart is being ripped out. He's fallen for his gorgeous, sharp-tongued partner--and she's about to leave forever. So, when an enemy armada delays her escape, he's determined to use the borrowed time to convince her to stay.

Pulled from today's Red Wolf Pack newsletter: Hi, pack members! Well, the ebook launch of Half Empty Half Full  is almost behind us. I've just got a few more follow-up emails and social media posts to make, and I'll put it behind me. I think it went pretty well. Rankings for the Spaceship Huey Adventures series have been steadily rising, and it feels great to see people reading and enjoying my books! Now, on to other things ... I was recently introduced o a cool website called AuthorsXp. It's a great place for authors and readers to meet. They do book giveaways, cross promotions, and all kinds of things to benefit authors and readers alike. I immediately signed up for a couple of giveaways--I was so impressed--where I could offer some of my own books for readers to get for free. The last two weeks of this month, I'll be alerting members of the pack to opportunities to win a bundle of books for FREE! (Hey, if you want the heads-up via email, click on my NEWSLETTER pa

 Revised from the January 6, 2023 Newsletter: It's a new year, a new look to my newsletter, and I have big news! If you didn't already know, the next installment of the Spaceship Huey Adventures, Half Empty Half Full,  launches officially on January 12th. Pre-launch promotions are almost over. Tomorrow is the big day! If you haven't started on the Spaceship Huey Adventures series yet, I'm dropping the price on Book One to 99 cents from now until the launch of Book Two (actually, I'm keeping it discounted through launch day). Plus, you can pick up the new book through January 12th for only 99 cents. Now, do you notice anything different about my newsletter? (for those reading this on the Red Wolf Blogs site, click my NEWSLETTER page to sign up) Right! It's a new format I've added my web banner to the headline and both a Monthly Deal from me and a Featured Recommendation by another author to my monthly offerings. I think it looks very professional.

 From the December 16, 2022 Newsletter: If you're confused at the enigmatic subject line, I get it. It's an inside joke that only a few--maybe two--readers will get. It refers to a recent episode where I tried to meet my son and his girlfriend for lunch.  It sounds like a great title for a book, though, doesn't it? Or, a movie, a song, or something? It does to me. And I was wondering, does it ever happen to you--like it does to me all the time--where you run across a spoken phrase or a random sign and think, "That sounds like a great book title!" And then you start to imagine the cover art. And the plot line starts to develop in your head. And you dig out your phone and try to jot some notes. And rush home to your laptop to ... Wait. Maybe I'm going too far with this scenario. But you know what I mean, don't you? I'm hoping I'm not as weird as I'm afraid I am and you guys have had this happen to you, too. If so, I'd really like to hear from
