The web site for my brand new patriotic children’s book The Flag Keeper is now complete. Please visit the home page for more information on the book, which was just released this week.

Mark your calendar for Columbus Day weekend, the official online launch party for The Flag Keeper. On Oct. 9, CSN Stores will be giving away a $50 gift certificate to one lucky winner to spend on anything from dinnerware, to dog beds, to sofas and suitcases. With over 200 online stores to choose from, the winner will definitely find something to spend the one-time-use CSN $50 gift certificate on. All you’ll have to do is leave a comment to that Oct. 9 post and you’ll be entered into the drawing.

In the meantime, I hope you’ll check out the book and recommend the home page to friends who might be interested in a patriotic book for their children, grandchildren, Girl and Boy Scout troops, or classrooms.

Summer Almost Over, Most Writing Goals Accomplished

It has been a productive summer and I’m proud that I accomplished most of my writing and publishing goals.

I made my trade paperback novel Twenty-Five Years Ago Today available in ebook format, uploading it to Kindle and arranging for Smashwords to distribute it to multiple ebook retailers including Barnes&Noble, Sony, Apple’s iPad Store, Diesel and Kobo.

My children’s picture book The Flag Keeper went into production and now has a web site and Facebook page. I also collected wonderful back cover blurbs from Steve Van Buskirk, Director of Programs, VFW National Headquarters, and Mike Buss, Deputy Director, Americanism, American Legion National Headquarters.

I’m in the process of working on a large review mailing related to my reality TV show-themed mystery suspense novel Sink or Swim, which will be officially released New Year’s Day, 2011. Also this summer, I collected endorsements about the book from Stephenie LaGrossa, owner of GiGI Restaurant & Lounge, Philadelphia PA, Television personality and fan favorite Survivor: Palau, Guatemala, Heroes vs. Villains; Shawne Morgan, contestant CBS’s The Amazing Race 16 and entrepreneur; and Michelle Costa, contestant Big Brother 10.

I’ve also signed on as one of the moderators at a fabulous new message board forum called Bestseller Bound which connects readers and indie authors. Stop by and join the discussion.

In August, some terrific writers have visited the blog so far. We heard from: Matthew Dicks, Mary Deal, J.R. Lindermuth, Gerry Charbonneau, Suzanne Young and Patricia Gulley.

Coming up, we’ll hear from authors: Loni Emmert, Timothy Hallinan, Norma Huss, Avery Aames, Caitlyn Hunter, Barbara Ross, Kenneth Weene and Monica Brinkman. During the week of Sept. 12, I’ll host my first theme week “Fun With Food Week,” in which every post will tie into characters who enjoy cooking. Late September also marks the release of The Flag Keeper and a special giveaway. Stay tuned!
