Have you had a chance to check out my Release Dates list? There's a lot of really great stuff coming down the pipeline. I have to be honest, though... those dates shift around. They could change. Sometimes, if I get the muse for a book I'm supposed to release later in the year and finish it all up, it moves to the front of the line and gets released next.  It's the "Release Shuffle"! As an artist and composer, I flow with what I feel at the time... so keep checking those release dates OFTEN, because things can and will change! Meanwhile, The Darkland is already in Amazon's top 20 for Hot New releases.If you haven't grabbed a copy, give it a try! Happy reading!!

Ever wonder how much I write on a daily basis? A lot. With all of the novels I have published, and all of the novels yet to come, you can imagine that it's a safe bet to say I write a LOT. I once read that Joanna Lindsey tries to write about 20 pages a day. I try to do between 10 and 30, depending on how strongly the muse is singing to me.  When the muse really sings, I can't type fast enough to get everything down.  And I type 85 wpm!  Right now, I'm heavily into Lord of War: Black Angel, which should be out in July.  I am thoroughly enjoying writing this novel and I hope that love reflects on the pages when  you read it.  I really love these characters I write about and I want you to love them (or hate them if they're evil) as I do. Recommendations for this week's reading? Try The Darkland if you haven't already. It's a richly twisted tale with a great hero.  It was sure fun to write! Happy reading!

Today, we have my very favorite poem ever. It's by Edgar Allen Poe.  The man may be known for his 'odd' persona (Never more, never more!), but his poetry is utterly exquisite. If you're not familiar with it, read this one. It's my all-time favorite because of the mental picture it provokes for me. But we'll talk about that later.  Now, read this:   Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In search of Eldorado. But he grew old- This knight so bold- And o'er his heart a shadow Fell as he found No spot of ground That looked like Eldorado. And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow- "Shadow," said he, "Where can it be- This land of Eldorado?" "Over the Mountains Of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied- "If you seek for Eldorado!" Why do I love this? Well, first the obvious - it describes a knight on a quest. Picture the lone knight seeking El Dorado. Kind of like the Grail quest of King Arthur's, right? Riding endlessly seeking something that just doesn't exist.  Over the mountains of the moon, down the valley of the shadow... ride, boldly ride.  Every hero I write about rides, boldly rides, so maybe that's why…
