About This Episode
A playwright from California, who had first contacted BJ to say he enjoyed all the stories in LA LUNE TOUYE so much that he adapted the series for the stage, contacted her a second time. He said a theater owner optioned the play from him. Reminded her that his adaptation, titled MOON KILL, was inspired by her story. Ended the brief note with an invitation for opening night.

While wearing a disguise, BJ Donovan arrives at the little theater in Hollywood without advance warning. Buys a ticket the same as everybody else. Takes a seat in the back row. Watches the play. Listens to the comments.

Hell hath no fury like a woman who is extremely angry and vindictive.

What's Happening

I took time away from my series to make minor changes to four of my books.

Made a new cover for my paranormal romance short story STAY WITH ME.

Re-opened my account with Amazon. Spent a couple of days making a Table of Contents for each of my books. (Draft2Digital automatically creates one.) Took another couple of days to upload all 19 books.

Last December, my mystery novel KILLING SUMMER was featured on page 37 of 432 on Barnes & Noble's crime fiction-mystery list. Today, it is on page 24 of 491. How cool is that?

I am selling more books on Barnes & Noble than Apple, Amazon, and Kobo combined.

I'm completing the Bad Mojo series without further delay.

Happy New Year - This And That

I've got everything I need to start the new year off right.

In December all but one of my book sales came from Barnes & Noble.
That one sale was from Amazon.

My Quiller is still having a helluva rough time.
But not for much longer.

In 1997 I wrote a kid's story based on an original idea. Submitted it directly to publishers. Someone at one of those publishing companies sent me a long list of names and addresses of literary agents. At the time, I didn't know what to do with the list. I also didn't understand this was an awesome thing to have happen. I filed the list away. It's been there ever since. The publisher was Simon and Schuster. I'm thinking about rewriting that story this fall and self-publishing it before Christmas. If it is as successful as I think it'll be, I'll turn it into a series next year.

In 2014 I'm looking forward with confidence.

Cheers!
