    June 21, 2010

    February 24, 2010

    • Every so often something happens that gives you one of those "warm fuzzies," and lifts the  spirits.  Monday, I checked the Fictionwise/Kindle site under the best seller horror category and noticed that my new book, Reveka's Return, jumped from the #4 slot to #2...yahoo!   Now,  I know it's not the New York Times best seller list (though someday I'd like to be able to say that), ...
