My Latest Novel

I haven't been doing much lately, but I did get some good news yesterday. I received the page proof for the cover of my new novel. And, boy did they ever come close to the description I sent in of what I had envisioned for it! I can't wait to see it when it's finally published and I can hold a copy of it in my hands. But, for now, I was able to order some galley copies - actual books, but with a blank white cover on the outside - and those should arrive before it's released to the general public. I know you'll be able to order copies of it from my publisher's website, PublishAmerica, and any online bookstore, but you will also be able to find it in local bookstores, too. Or you can contact me. I'm sure I'll have some copies available for purchase later on. Until then, please just look over the front cover below and ingest it's period ambience like I'm doing!

I hope it's not available for sale at Wal-Mart, by the way.

My Second Novel

I just wanted to let my regular readers of this blog know that, recently, another one of my manuscripts has been accepted to be published. It should be out in a month or two, so watch for it. It will be called This Paradise, by Kenneth Dwain Harrelson. It's a period piece, set in The Great Depression, and it's about a drifter that goes to work at a small husband and wife farm. It's in the same vein as John Steinbeck used to write, but no wonder - him and I share the same birthdate! (Just not the same year, however....) A gazebo is part of the central theme.

I'll probably have more to tell about it later - when it gets near publication or just after it's published with a cover image. Be on the lookout for it wherever fine books are sold! (And average ones, too!)
