Hope your summer is going well. I wanted to give you a quick update on what has been going on.

I finished writing Book 10 about 120,000 words or so at the end of June. I did the rough edits for Book 9. I’m going to be taking the month of July off from writing, just so I can focus on earning some extra money so August / September I can get book 6 edited. Also I’ll be going through the first four books, making sure that my notes all jive and that I don’t have anything I need to make sure and have in books 11 and 12 (besides the things I already have planned ;o)).

If you have already read our books and haven’t yet posted a review on Amazon, please do so right now, while you’re thinking about it. The more reviews we get, the better it is for all of us (especially if you like our books).

We’ll be having more freebies in July, if you have friends make sure they follow us on Facebook, so they’ll know when they are free. Here are the tentative dates.

July 18-19 Books 1-3
July 25 – 26 Book 4
August 1 – 2 Book 5.

My Dad is also on vacation during July and I have the opportunity to preach for him a couple of Sundays. You can check out the message from last Sunday if you wish – The Prize Egg or Being Content.

Just wanted to give a quick update.

First Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there.

I’ve been continuing to write on book 10 – the goal is to finish it up this month. So far we’re at about 100k words.

I’ve also been working on doing the first edits on all the books – currently I’m working on Book 9. When I get the rough edits finished, I’ll be going through them all again for their second pass. I’m still saving up some cash for the final edits on Book 6, hope to have it by the end of summer (about $1,000).

So what have you been up to this summer so far, anything fun, exciting, make sure to share it with us.

Enjoy your week.

I just wanted to send a note out to you before Memorial Day, a couple of reminders and things you might like to know.

We would like to welcome all of our new subscribers and Facebook followers. Last weekend we gave the first book in our series away. This weekend on Sunday and Monday we’ll be giving the forth e-book in our series away. If you’ve already downloaded it, please send a note (right now before you forget) to any friends who you think might like our book.

You can find the book at the URL below – remember that is Sunday, May 25th and Monday, May 26th, which is Memorial day.

Here’s the url – http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GGR0088/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00GGR0088&linkCode=as2&tag=boobytim0f-20&linkId=OFGF5L4PQSYF4HDC

If you’ve read the free books from last time and you enjoyed them, please leave a review on Amazon, those reviews help me to sell more books, and selling more books help me to pay my editor.

On Saturday I’ll be putting some of my words on my Google Plus account. I’ve been doing a thing that’s called Saturday Scenes, which is pretty cool.

You can find me here on G+ – https://plus.google.com/u/0/110583796895798417308/posts/p/pub

I am working on writing Book 10 in my series; I’m at about 90,000 words. Not sure how long it’s going to be, maybe 150k?

In closing I want to wish everyone a wonderful Memorial Day if you live in the US. Enjoy your weekend.

Free Christian Thrillers (and other discounts) coming soon…

Happy Almost May!

Hope you had a wonderful April. We’ve been busy, which is always a good thing. I just wanted to update you of a few things that will be coming up in May. My birthday is in May and we’ll be offering all of our Ebooks for free sometime during May. Also we’ll be putting all of our paperbacks on sale.

We’ll let you know all of the details both here and on our Facebook page. Another way is to sign up for our newsletter and we’ll be sure to send you a message a couple of days before the discounts are available.

So what have I been up to –

Currently I’m writing book ten, I am at about 50k words.

We’ve been working on the rough edits for all of them. I thought i would do this before we worked on publishing them. This is to ensure we don’t make a huge mistake.

We’ll be talking to you again next week so stay tuned.

Book 10 – First Words

gw-workinprogressJust wrote the first words for  book 10. Ok, the first eight thousand words. When I started writing the 12 Guardians I didn’t know how I was going to bring you twelve books. Now as the end is in sight I am worried that the last books will seem rushed. I think I have figured out what I’m going to do and who knows there may be even some additional short stores along the way.

I’ve been spending quite a bit of time reading through the other books – those that aren’t on sale yet, to make sure they all flow and go together, to add things and take away other bits that cause the stories not to flow. I’m not sure how long this process will take. I hope that book six will be available to you this summer.

If you have any friends that may like to read our books, I would encourage you to tell them about us. I hope you have a wonderful week.

Help me name a dog…

The dog

I finished writing book 9. I’m working on writing a rough outline for books 10, 11, and 12. I’ll start writing book 10 in April, the goal is to have it finished in April or mid May. Eleven should be done June / July, then Twelve Aug / Sept  / Oct. I’ve also started rough edits on Book 7. I’m still trying to think of how I want to release everything.

I have a question for you guys – if you haven’t read book five and you want to read it, then you’ll want to stop reading this now.

In book 5, Aly gets a dog, what do you think I should name it. Give me your thoughts and suggestions and you can give me your answers on the comments (either here or on Facebook).

Hope you have a wonderful week!!

Update – The Ice Storm that Wasn’t…

Been a bit since I’ve posted, just wanted to give you a quick update.

The winter storm from last week was different. The forecast had us getting up to 3/4 inch of ice. We received a tenth of an inch of ice (thank God, all those prayers helped), about four inches of sleet, and then a couple of inches of snow on top of that. It made for an interest snow, that crunched as I walked my dog. It didn’t want to go away either, so we had snow till Friday. Today it’s supposed to be 70 degrees and tomorrow we are supposed to have some snow again.

I’ve been continuing to write on Book 9. My goal is to finish this month and in April we’ll be participating in Camp Nanowrimo (it will be our third time) and the goal will be to get 90k words written in April, which should mean book 10 will be mostly finished. June and July we’ll work on finishing book 11 and then August and September will be book 12. Those are the goals anyway. I’ve learned too that if you share your goals with someone, that means that you are more likely to achieve them.

We’re editing Book 6 and saving our money so that we can get that done in April. It costs about $800+. Thankfully I’m looking at writing books as a long term investment, if I was waiting till I had made a profit, I fear I would have been still waiting after writing book 1.

That’s my update – what have you been up to.

Happy Sunday to you. Hope you have had a great day.

I thought I would send this out, we’re supposed to have a big ice storm tonight, one of those that will most likely cause the power to be off for an extended period of time (not good).

Writing is progressing nicely on book 9. We hit 100k words today on book 9. When I started writing my series I thought that I would never be able to get 12 books done. Now I’m starting to realize that I’m going to have to squeeze some things in, which is a good thing I think.

Working on editing for book 6, people are already wondering about when it is going to come out, which is a good thing, shows some interest.

One of the coolest things though is I’m on the verge of selling my 100th book. I know definitely not best seller status, but I think it is pretty awesome. I wish that I could know who the 100th person was so I could shower them with gifts, but I won’t know (I don’t think) who that person is.

Hope we don’t get any ice – follow my facebook for some pictures etc. We’ll be running some contests there in the near future to. You can find my facebook here –

Book 5 is Free Today and Tomorrow

12 Guardians: AbrahamGood morning. Just wanted to remind you that Book 5 of our 12 Guardian Series is free today for those of you with Kindle (our using an I-pad you can use the kindle App).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I4W7VVW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00I4W7VVW&linkCode=as2&tag=boobytim0f-20

We’re continuing to write book 9. Currently we’re at about 80,000 words. It’s not winding down yet, so not sure how long it will be. We should be finished with it in March.

We’ve started edits on Book 6 of our series. I’m not sure what the title is going to be yet.

We have thawed out for a few days. I can see the ground again, tomorrow we’re supposed to have severe storms and it’s supposed to be 70 degrees, then next week we go back into the freezer. Whenever I think that Spring is never going to get here, I’m reminded of the promise that God gave to Noah.

Genesis 8:22

King James Version (KJV)

22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Enjoy your week!
