Oh, boy. It’s been a while since I’ve had one of these. For today only, SAND is on sale for the bargain basement price of $1.99 (it’s usually $9.99!!). Don’t feel bad for taking advantage of this insane price. The publisher is taking the loss, not me! So buy as many as you like! Gift a few to friends and loved ones! Besides WOOL, this is by far my most popular novel. It’s a different world, a completely unrelated story, and one of the books I recommend when people ask…

Ultimate WOOL Unboxing and Giveaway!
This is the most excited I’ve been about a blog post in ages. Why? Because this one is all about you, dear reader. And it’s about getting you some FREE SWAG. Okay, not swag. That’s underselling it.

These days, people write to me as if I know what I’m doing. Or like I have a…
Wayfinder Build: Part 9 — Update
The latest pics of Wayfinder as she heads into the last two months of construction. A lot of the interior is under wraps to protect it while systems go in. These pics are from about two weeks ago. In another two weeks, I’ll be standing inside the boat again, taking video, which I’ll upload for you to see. The dinghy will also be there, and hopefully I can get it out on the water while they’re wrapping things up. Looks to be the middle or toward the end of August for…
My WIXE 1190 Interview
Last Friday, I went down to Monroe, NC and did some book promoting. We hit the same spots that welcomed us with the first book, and the second time around was just as fun.

It was amazing to get a chance to sign so many books, even better to be able to discuss the plot of the…
