Welcome to my Blog

Welcome to my official blog. If you're looking for something in particular, you might want to type keywords into the search feature on the left-hand side of the page. And I've added a BLOG INDEX on its own page (a bit more complete than the one below) to make it easier. Poking around is also encouraged.

And please do leave comments! Don't be confused by the "author" field in the comment form. When you are writing a message to me and my readers, you are the author. (Nice role reversal, huh?)

When You Were Older for only $0.99

I'm afraid I more or less buried this news in the previous blog post about the Pay It Forward story on NBC Nightly News. Now I'm reminded that this needs to stand alone.

On the day the news story aired, we dropped the price on my novel When You Were Older, thinking it would be a good place for new readers to start. Of course, I'm always happy when my faithful long-time readers get a good deal as well. But I also know that the majority of you will have read it. (I'm working on two new novels as fast as I can!) In that case, I hope you'll pass the word along to your reader friends.

This deal will be in place through Thanksgiving weekend, to give everybody plenty of time to take me up on it.

Please do tell anyone you know who might be interested, and if you're just now reading it yourself, email and let me know what you think. For those who don't know it already, my real email address is on the Contact Me page.

I should probably also repeat the following for those who are new here: you don't need a Kindle to enjoy a Kindle ebook. You can download free Kindle Reading Apps HERE for your computer, tablet or smartphone. And if you have a Nook, or other non-Kindle ereader, there are instructions for converting a Kindle ebook HERE.

Happy reading!

NBC Nightly News!

It's close to time, but I'd like to encourage all of you who are interested in Pay It Forward to watch NBC Nightly News tonight. They're going to be doing a story on Pay It Forward/Good Samaritans/Random Acts of Kindness. And they sent a film crew all the way down from San Francisco so the producer could interview me in my home.

I have no idea how long I'll be onscreen, and how much will end up on the cutting room floor. But you might want to tune in, or set it to record. 

And I'm sure by about tomorrow it will be accessible on their website, iTunes, etc. So I will update this blog post very soon with a link to the story, for anyone who missed it.

Fingers crossed for how it turns out. But all publicity for Pay It Forward is good publicity, right?

More when available. 

Oh. A "P.S.": In honor of my (possibly brief) appearance on NBC Nightly News, and any new readers it might bring, we've chosen my novel When You Were Older to feature at only 99 cents, right through the Thanksgiving weekend. But if you're one of my existing readers, you deserve a deal, too. The 99 cent Kindle ebook is available HERE. Happy reading!
