Been Writing going to Book sale You?

I am very surprised how my book is doing. So many very kind comment about the story. I am very grateful to all who so kindly tweet about. So what am I doing besides asking people to buy my book? Many things.
I went up to Phoenix last week to the annual VSNA book sale. Its a charity sale of books of every kind you can imagine. The doors open at 8 am and always a line. This year it only took an hour in line. I have many books going up for next years sale. The household WWII nut has trimmed his books down. I fear this is to add more books. I did find an first edition book by Ernie Pile. I do believe we now how all his books and first editions too boot. Also tons of maps and many free ones as well. If your in Phoenix in Feb you really need to check out this sale its only one weekend but so worth it. You will see people with shopping carts full of books, to take home. Great fun for a good cause.
This week I have had a few ideas for short stories. So I have been writing. Well I have some say I can have 5 short stories done and edited by May 1st. I will try. As for having my book done in book form. We are waiting on all the sales reports for a month. Son my boss says he feels I need to sell at least 50 print books to make it cost effective. I also hope to add a few never before seen pictures of Tombstone,Arizona. I have been asked if it was a real town still. Yes it is, thats why they call it 'The Town to Tough to Die'. So if you interested please leave a comment on here for me. If you want a signed book I would be more than happy too.
I have also been very lucky to meet many cool writers on twitter. If you can follow a Debbie Mack such a great lady. Her writing is great and very interesting just check her work out.
Have a great weekend and week. Please feel free to comment on my book here or on Amazon. Thank you for reading my book and blog. Any questions you want to ask me?

Thank you.

Thank you all so much for your support. The book is doing surprising well. I have been ask if it will be out in a hard copy. The answer is my boss and I are looking in to that now. My son is the boss and he says we will see in a week how well 'Dust of Tombstone' does.
So I have tried to promote the book as best I can. Its not easy to say hi here look my book. I have had many have said hi back, good job, and I have to read it. Which is so nice to hear. My son has made a Facebook fan page for me. Please follow if you can. Thank you again.
I have been working a few short stories. My boss aka son says you need to get this done and out by May. OK don't count on it. I will try very hard but I am human.
So have you read my book? What do you think?

Book is on Amazon, 'Dust of Tombstone'

When the past collides with the present you get....
'Dust of Tombstone'
So you’re driving on I-10 east or west, through the canyons and hills of Southern Arizona in Cochise County, you feel a gust of wind. Many signs say “Beware of wind gusts”. It is not always the wind in late afternoon or dusk. Mostly it’s the ghosts rushing back to the never-ending poker games, bottomless whiskey bottles and a party that last forever in Tombstone. Go see for yourself after the tourists have gone home for the day. Walk down Allen Street. I may say hello or you may think it is the wind. 


Thank you all very much for your support. Well at long last my book is out. If you like Ghost who go wild you will like my book. Its on Amazon here or here if you're in the UK. 


           Here is the cover.

The back inside:

I hope you buy it and let me know what you think. I am currently working on a new book of short stories by request of many. So far the the first story has creepy stuff......
OK, go read my book then come back here, what did you think?   Tell me and Amazon too.

Tombstone Ghost and Thank you.

I want to take a few minutes to say thank you. To all who have called, e-mail or tweeted me, yes I am fine. Tuscon is really a nice place to visit. Sometimes I do get homesick everyone does.
This week has been busy as always. I am working on a cover for my e-book. I took a quick trip to Tombstone for dinner and some pictures. Also to visit the ghost who inspired my book. Again Thank you all for following and visiting my blog.

When your driving east on I-10 leaving Pima County entering Cochise County the winds you feel may be ghost rushing back to the poker game and whiskey that never ends in Tombstone.

Have a great weekend. Let me know how you are. So what do you think of this picture my son took of the main drag in Tombstone last night?
