New Outlet

Starting in January, my books will be available on "Scribd"!

Scribd is an eBook reading service along the same lines as Netflix and Hulu for movies and TV. Scribd charges a small monthly subscription fee ($8.99 currently) for their service. For that small fee you can read all the eBooks your heart desires. For example, you can read New york Times best sellers, or any of thousands of other eBooks on the market, the very same eBooks you get at your favorite eBook store! But you don't have to buy them and you can still read them any time you want.

There is a Scribd app for Apple(R) devices and another for Android(R) devices as well. So you can take your eBooks anywhere without having to copy them to each device. Just think, you can read all my books without having to purchase any of them! Scribd is a great deal for those of you who do a lot of reading. Scribd is not a new service, they have been around since 2007 and have built up a huge membership. That means their pricing policy is working and you won't have to worry about them going out of business on you.

Give Scribd a try, and don't forget to look for ALL my eBooks on Scribd starting in January.

Name My New Character

In my next volume of 'The Marriage Counselor' I am introducing a new character. A private detective whose methods of gathering information are probably not the best. He gets himself into trouble more, often than not, while on a case. He fancies himself a great detective like Philip Marlowe, Sam Spade, Charlie Chan or any of a number of other famous detectives. However, he seems more like Inspector Clouseau.

Written with tongue planted firmly in cheek, I hope to make this guy a fun read for those who enjoy a little bit of humor mixed with their mystery. I hope you will enjoy reading about his escapades as much as I hope to writing them. If all goes well, our newest hero may get a series of his own.

In fact, I would like your help in naming this new character. Use the comments area to post your choice or vote for your favorite. Please don't use any names that already exist. I need something fresh in the Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe genre. If I choose your entry, I will give you free copies all books in which he appears, so don't post as 'anonymous' I won't know who you are.

Look for this new character in my next book 'The Marriage Counselor – Vol. 4' on or before the first of the year, and in his own upcoming series.
