News Regarding Amazon's Price Restructuring for Paperback Books

In case you haven't heard (or perhaps you have), Amazon has informed authors who have their paperback books listed on Amazon that they have restructured the pricing for those books due to the increased cost of paper, printing, etc.

In other words, they are raising the price of ALL paperback books.

This is something we authors have little control over. We are left with two major conundrums: either we raise our prices and risk not selling as many print copies as we'd like, or we can keep the prices as they are and earn practically ZERO royalties. As you've probably already guessed, authors are going with the price increase.

Which means I'm going to have to adjust my website to reflect those new prices. With over 175 books available in print, it's going to take some time to get that work done. I do all my blogs and website myself (on top of my writing). I don't have a PA or anyone else to do it for me.

So please be patient if you see a PRINT book listed for a certain price on my website but higher on Amazon. I will eventually get all that straightened out.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hear a Sample

In a post-apocalyptic world, Tiva is running for her life when she stumbles across three survivors who save her from a horde of those things, whatever they are now. The creatures aren’t people anymore. They’re…infected. Struggling to find food, she soon realizes luck was on her side when Russ and his crew welcome her into the safety of their warehouse.

It seems not many survivors remain in what’s left of the world, so they figure they’d do better to stick together. Besides, Russ hasn’t known the love of a woman in a long time, and he and Tiva immediately feel the connection.

As the days pass, the crew takes turns keeping watch for the undead. Russ and Tiva vow to be there for each other should they get bitten. If the inevitable should happen, it wouldn’t be much of an afterlife, wandering aimlessly and killing innocent people.

Will Russ and Tiva get their happily ever after? Or are they destined to be undead like the rest of the world?
