My appearance at the Christians Writers fellowship of WNC went well. They were all very supportive of my book Fritz Fombie Have No Fear. As I did my reading from the book I tried to portray the characters the way I have envisioned them. So basically I put on a small theater production. One of the members told me she would have loved for me to have read the whole book right then and there, which really made me smile. I have a background in acting so I was happy to see the reading go so well. One of the hardest things about a self-published book is letting people know it exists. So I'm very happy to see that people are now buying the book on referrals from other people. I believe reviews and word of mouth is the best way to get a book moving. I'm thankful to goodreads.com because they're allowing Fritz Fombie Have No Fear to be read by people who I would have never been able to reach otherwise. I will be appearing at the Battery Park Book Exchange in downtown Asheville on Saturday April 25th from 12:00-1:30 pm. I will do a reading at 12:30. I will also be giving away a crotchet hat of one of my characters in the book. The Battery Park Book Exchange is located in the Grove Arcade. Happy Reading!

Things are going well with Fritz Fombie Have No Fear. I've received a lot of local interest. The Blue Ridge Book Store in downtown Waynesville is carrying my book. The Waynesville public library has purchased two of my books. I have five upcoming appearances in the Waynesville and Asheville area.
 I just had a ten year old who read my book tell me she had a crush on Fritz, which is pretty cool since he is a zombie. A 12 year old read my book in one day. She told her parents she just had to finish and told me that she loved the book. My book giveaway on goodreads.com will be over in about a month. Once I mail out Fritz Fombie Have No Fear to the winners I should get back plenty of reviews. I'm very excited to see what kind of reviews I'll receive. Thanks for everyone who believed in me and the book. I'm working away on the second book in the Frtiz Fombie series.

I will be appearing at Blue Ridge Book Store in Waynesville NC, during Children’s Book Week on Saturday May 9 from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm. I will give a reading from my book Fritz Fombie Have No Fear and there will be a book signing afterwards. I will also be teaching the kids how to draw manga, which is Japanese comic art. The bio picture in my book is the same form of manga that I will be teaching the kids.

April is going to be an active month for my book, Fritz Fombie Have No Fear. Now that it's available on Amazon, I need to start getting the word out. I love to talk about my book. I priced the book so anyone who wanted to buy the book would be able to. The kindle version of my book comes out this week. I start a Goodreads book giveaway from April 1st to May14th. I'm giving away 30 copies of my book at the end of the giveaway time period. The target range for my book is 8 years old on the low end and 13 years old on the high end, although the adults who read the book have really enjoyed it, which is really cool. I'm doing several book readings and signings in April. I will post the places and times this weekend. Take care and happy reading.

I just met an older gentleman who, after finding out about the book I wrote, went on to tell me about the stories he would make up about the things his children would wonder about. One of the greatest benefits I have received from writing Fritz Fombie Have No Fear is hearing how books or verbal stories have affected people in such positive ways. It seems people from all walks of life come alive when I talk about or show them the book I wrote. Books seem to be one of the few things that bring all people together in a positive and hopeful way, no matter whether you're the writer or the reader. Remember you're bigger than your fears even if you're still on the under side of four feet.
