The new bimonthly Book Trailers Showcase E-mag is again out with ads,
reviews, stories, columns, interviews - everything you could hope for in publishing
and reading, all in one on-line magazine. Check out the book reviews in
particular. They cover all genres. The links inside make it a snap to take a
look at anything that interests you. My series ads are in there of course. :) This
May/June issue does not disappoint on any level.
In writing news, I finished final edits for Cold Blooded Book II:Killer Moves. It will be on time in paperback, Kindle format, and audio. May 24th
as I’ve covered in prior posts is the release date, but it’s for sale now on
pre-order. Thanks to Word 2013, my overused word list got a workout I did not
expect. Editing is a humbling experience. When a writer thinks everything is as
tight as can be, that’s when the final Kindle book read through turns the world
upside down. Thank goodness for being able to put the file on my Kindle Fire
for the final reading, so I can humbly do my word by word last edit, and
correct another fifty things I missed after a solid week of editing.
I’ve started Rick Cantelli P.I. Book III. The first 4k words were a
snap before editing on Killer Moves took up every waking moment. I get to write
more in the new novel exclusively now. Rick and Lo take on a CIA consulting gig
which nearly ends them to start the book, but my private detective geezers have
nothing to lose. That makes them hell-a-dangerous. :)

You are a juggernaut, man.
Thank you. I blame the voices in my head, Charles. :)
Editing is a humbling experience.
Amen.
But sounds like you've got the hang of it (I haven't tried editing from my Kindle...sounds intimidating...). :/
Bernard can't wait for cold blooded II and the next rick cantelli novels. I have about a dozen other deputies in my dept hooked on your books. Keep em coming
With the highlighting and bookmarking features, the notes on everything found in the final Kindle read through can be easily accessed, Raine. It is a wonderful tool. Using the find feature in Word 2013 then allows instant positioning in the manuscript from the Kindle notes.
It doesn't matter what we do, Raine. Readers will find something to point out anyway. I just received a grammar update from a reader of Demon, my YA novel, who found I used 'have went' instead of 'have gone' once in the 78k word novel. :) She liked the story though.
Thanks, Justin! That is great news. I hope you enjoy the new Cold Blooded II. Nick makes a connection with his local law enforcement in Pacific Grove where he lives. I left a thread in there for CB3 where Sergeant Dickerson kids Nick about becoming Pacific Grove PD's 'Castle'. :)
Hello Bernard,
I'm a third of the way through Cold Blooded II and I like it a lot. I can’t wait for Jean’s character to evolve in later books. The ‘genius IQ’ comment combined with the promised training just bleeds ultra-computer hacker and female Jason Borne type operator.
But can we have a little more Peace please? I love the characters those people have a lot more stories to tell I’m sure!
Thanks,
Rich Thorpe
Thank you, Rich! I'm glad you noticed about Jean. I have a couple of stories in mind set in the future. I've promised Rick Cantelli, Book III: Into The Darkness for August, followed by Hard Case Book V, and then a third book in the Cold Blooded series.
I wish I could promise more on Peace. I'm in the process of taking my five older books back from AuthorHouse, including Peace. I'll have to give that some thought. Thanks again for your support.
