Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was not able to blog for quite sometime. The most important thing I have done last year was to add an audiobook version of the Case of Emil Diesel. It has been quite successful. I realized everyone is so busy with life these days listening to books is an easy way to keep one’s passion alive and well. Try the audible version. It is intriguing; listening to someone tell the story. Enjoy the experience! Screenwriters…..
It’s a New Year, 2021, and hopefully we will see an end to the pandemic now that we have vaccines. I know it will take time, but must must remain positive. My book, ‘The Case of Emil Diesel’, will be virtually entered into the 2021 Tucson Festival of Books Fair on January 26,2021. This Virtual Marketplace will be a two month book fair, ending on March 26, and will be sold in the Author Solutions Marketplace, and fairgoers will enjoy…..
Who would ever have thought we would experience a major pandemic. I hope all are safe and healthy during these challenging times. Everyday I thank our doctors, nurses, and caregivers for the help they give to all who need it. They are truly heroes. In February, before the pandemic started I was in LA attending a book to screen pitchfest event. It was inspiring. I pitched my book to several film producers and four asked to read my book. I…..
The Case of Emil Diesel had a single slot ad in the NY Times Sunday Book Review on July 28, 2019. Look for it on the page marked Author House and Xlibris. Even though it is small, it will be read by 1.7million people. I have a very good feeling this will be the start of something good happening for my book. Let’s keep our fingers crossed. I was also interviewed by the writer for Soundings Magazine, put out by…..

I have been away for a bit, but have not forgotten you. Promoting my book as been quite a challenge. I won some and lost some. I am so looking forward to seeing it in The Sunday New York Times Review Magazine. It reaches 1.7 million readers. I will let you know when it is featured in the Spring. I still am optimistic about the success of my book and I realize patience is the key. I will be hitting…..
I hope you are enjoying my new site. I had another story in mind when I started writing, but the stories I had listened to through the years about Emil inspired me. I knew I had to write about him and the adventure Max and I took to regain his father’s art. It really had to be told.
I would love to find out how you are enjoying my book. Let me know.
