Well, this was a truly busy week. With the release of Curse of Kali I truly had my hands full, trying to promote the new Jason Dark mystery. As part of the promotion and my attempt to get the title at least into the Top 1,000 of Amazon’s Kindle bestsellers, I have also prepared a number of guest-post on various… Continue reading "The first stops of my blog tour"

I couldn’t fool anyone into believing that, but even though you know what… Continue reading "The truth about Jason Dark"

In the past days I have also created a new cover of Ghosts Templar, another one of the Jason Dark mysteries.

I feel kind of bad, and for some reason it feels weird. I am reading a book, you know. Not just any book. I started reading “Cemetery Dance” by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, two of my favorite thriller authors. But that’s not why I feel bad. It is because I am actually reading it as a paperback!

Occasionally it seems we all are apt to ignore even our own recommendations, somehow too occupied with what we’re doing, I suppose, to stop for a moment and analyze where we are. Book covers are my case in point today. As many of you may know, I have talked about the importance of strong covers on numerous occasions on mailing… Continue reading "The Emperor’s new Clothes"

In the past weeks I have read two new books and I wanted to take a moment real quick to tell you about them because I enjoyed them very much. As I pointed out on numerous occasions, I am a fan of Clive Cussler’s “Dirk Pitt” adventures but at the same time I do have to admit that I do… Continue reading "Two fun reads – “Rogue Wave” and “Island Life”"

I just wanted to make a quick update before the weekend, to point out that I have been guest-blogging on two sites today. The first one is over on thriller author J.A. Konrath’s blog where I discuss some of the strategies I have employed with my “Jason Dark” series in order to get it noticed. You can read about some… Continue reading "Guest-blog Friday and two books you have to read!"
