NEWS AND NOTES!
  • EDITING APOLOGY
    To all readers and fans, I would deeply like to offer my sincerest apologies for the editing quality of a couple of my books. Sometimes you trust publishers and editors (especially when you are paying them fair sums of money) to best represent your work, and they let you down. I have had the misfortunes of working with one publisher (now bankrupt and being investigated for white-collar crimes) who was not trustworthy with over 250 authors (myself included) and a national editor posing as elite in their career to be nothing more than a hack. It deeply saddens me that this has happened to me as well as other fellow authors. If you are one of these individuals, you have my utmost and sincerest apologies as you matter very much to me. My new publishers have been very accommodating and we have worked to change these books. Thank you. As a token of my appreciation I have offered my latest novel RETURN TO GRACE (due to be published in paperback in 2012) as a free e-book download.
