I’m back. Here you go.
                 Reuven’s hand was shaking, so he dropped it into his lap. Opening his book, he let his eyes trail over the pages of Latin verbs.

Everyone knows Flint. Everyone in that town knows everyone. It’s a very funny movie. You should watch it. We watched it one night when we were moving house. We had been working since sunup and it was close to twelve. Everyone had been in tears once that day, all the packing tape was gone, and dad was like, “Okay, I’m ordering pizza and…[Read more]

Oh, you won’t be getting any more of Friedrich. That book has been published, and I wrote that scene because I was thinking of Friedrich. If you want to read more you have to buy it.
You might get a little of other things though.
Um. Yes I would. That’s what I’m doing on here. I’m pelting y’all with snowballs and I don’t even know…[Read more]

That’s the most productive I’ve been with writing since Whaley posted her plank challenge thing. Kinda embarrassing how dependent I am on external motivation, lol
There no snow yet where I live, so, uhhhhhhh

my company name is Wild Horse Publishing. I did it because that was always the name we used since I was tiny when my brothers and I made movies or pretended to sell books. ☺️
I can send you the info page from the back of one of the books if you’re interested in the company.
I have not been to a convention. I haven’t found any near me…[Read more]

lol. Uh, three hours? I had some extra time.
Fateful Night took four days, and The Choices We Made took a week (it was 400 pages.). The editing and publishing process took six months on the first one, and three on the second.

I sell them by mail order. You send a letter to my company with check or cash, and the company sends you a book.
that’s how things were ordered just a couple decades ago, but no one wants to go through the time of mailing in an order form. 😢
Yes, I did self publish, though I designed and started my own company.

well there is, but to make it so people can actually order online you have to pay for the card reading app.
Thanks!! I have a lot of fun with titles. I have a whole notebook full of ones I just scribbled down when I thought of them. If you ever want help thinking up a title, I’d be happy to brainstorm with you.

smart. I generally come up with them while writing and then decide to solidify the tube later because I’m too interested in the writing I’m currently doing to stop. Lol.

oh that’s awesome! I would LOVE to hear it when you’re done!! I just write some songs for my second published book, and it’s a tone of fun!! Now people are asking me to sing them. 😬
the tunes are in my head, but it sure is hard to make them sound right once I start singing. Does that ever happen to you?
