Finally, Book 1 Is Final

I recently corrected some printing problems, which means the absolute last version of Night of the Hell Hounds and Other Stories from the Ridgewood Chronicles is finished and at Amazon in both ebook and paperback formats. I haven’t written much about the cover, so I’ll do that now. I kept the cover simple to make … Continue reading Finally, Book 1 Is Final

That left me with my phone to … Continue reading Back On Track
