Sometimes in conversation I may say random numbers, it isn't the fact I am reciting your phone number, it's usually how many words I've written that day or in a given situation. Five-hundred-and-seventy is how this New Year has started. It marks the beginning of BOOK II in the REAPER'S JOURNEY SERIES and I was thrilled...

Christian Thomas is in the throes of depression, consumed by...

Be Here Now – changes and a view of me

Ok, I have tried to keep my two lives distinctly separate. Mainly due to the fact that as oart of my work agreement to let me publish my books I don't openly mix my real persona and my writing persona. Interestingly enough there are others who I work with who publish books and use their...
