Immortality up for Auction
(Yeah, I almost wrote immorality up for auction which would have been something completely different and would probably cost you more.) Anyway, a bunch of authors including yours truly are auctioning off names to use in our books as a…

Sometimes fans give me things. I’m always appreciative. I have a really cool apron, a framed picture of a stone angel, and a Barbie doll made to look like Chrissy that reader friends have given me. This is a perk…

This is an awesome book trailer and why I love Matt Morrell. If you’re looking for a great trailer, he’s your man. (And how many guys do you know who have three sets of double letters in their name?) Leave…
