Hello, welcome to my website.
The image above is NOT a picture of me. I'm not that horny.
I have never before written anything about a character or creature that looks anything like that either. So I guess it is time.
But he (I suppose it could be a "she," but I'll stick with the male pronoun because...well, if the females of that species look like that, I really don't want to see a male.) does look determined despite having had a rough time.
Check out my "Mascot Serial" Page to see one of the possible stories of these intimidating characters.
My blog and the Mascot Serial will be added to a few times a month.
Note: The Mascot Serial has been suspended until enough readers express an interest in seeing it continued.
But the Blog will hopefully get a new entry twice a month or more if I have the time available..
The Right Writes will feature links or references to some of my other published writings.
NOTICE: As of 5/3/16 I am adding a new occasional feature to the top of the Right Writes Page!
The Contact Page is pretty self-explanatory. I really hope that those that read Prophecy of Honor, Witchery, or Just Lucky, or any of my other writing, will contact me about the writing or anything else on their minds.
If anyone would like an autographed copy of any of my books, please use the contact page or contact me on Facebook and it shall be done. An autographed copy will be slightly cheaper than the online price and you'll get a spiffy customized bookmark with it.
Please stop in at my regular Face Book page, or my fairly new Face Book author's page, where you can read short excerpts from my published novels.
Again, welcome, and I hope you visit as often as curiosity and convenience allow.
This is the cover of my adult fiction novel. The publisher bills this as a Romance/thriller, which is also accurate. This is Book One of a two-book story. Book Two was published in June, 2018. The publisher, Gnome on Pig Productions, has done an excellent job working with me on editing, the cover, the text, everything. Paperbacks are available at Amazon. Exclusive hardcover copies will also be available. We think the story is really good.
Besides Amazon, paperbacks are on the lists for Barnes and Noble and other retail book stores. You may have to ask for them to order it.
*****Hold the presses! Literally. Due mostly to the pandemic, the publisher of these two adult fiction novels was forced to go out of business. Because of that, these are temporarily unavailable. I will publish them myself, unless some reliable publisher suddenly offers to do so. When they become available again, I'll post that info on Facebook, twitter, here, and anywhere else it may do some good.
My two fantasy novels, farther down the page, are still available.*****
Another setback. Double Dragon Publishing closed their doors in June, 2021, due to lack of sales. The rights have reverted back to me. I plan on self-publishing Prophecy of Honor a soon as I can find a artist for the cover. There's a thin possibility that Witchery may be picked up by another publisher. ***** Another change--this one is welcome!!
Water Dragon Publishing, an imprint of Paper Angel Press, has agreed to publish Prophecy of Honor near the end of 2023. Please check back here, and my blog, and my FB page, for more news.

An accident cost Ron Russell all use of his left arm. Some people allow their disability to define them. Others use it to push themselves to their limits. Ron did both. He entered college eight years later; his devotion to physical fitness and martial arts prepared him to handle himself well in a fight. As a freshman he acquired his first girlfriend, but their friendship "with benefits” would go no farther and he gave her his blessing to pursue an old flame that had returned to her life.
Then he meets Audrey. The two fall very much in love, but a year later, Audrey is brutally murdered, and Audrey is not the first victim. The police can gather no evidence, and there may be corruption on the force. Finally, Ron and Audrey’s family decide that something must be done. Plans go awry; Ron barely survives the encounter; but justice is served. Then the story (with the accompanying frame story) skips ahead about twenty years, when Ron discovers something almost unbelievable.

Here's the front cover for Just Lucky, Book 2: Love and Hate.
Ron has completed his student teaching in high school physical education, along with a minor in "adventure." He graduates but returns immediately to continue his post-graduate work.
During this time Ron finds himself able to move on socially. Jean Dahlquist, one of Audrey's best friends, re-enters his life and reveals to Ron that she has been in love with him for a long time. She could not tell him this before because Ron and Audrey were so in love. Jean would never do anything that might hurt Audrey. In a very short time Ron finds himself returning her love.
Life seems to achieve a sense of normalcy, only to have one of Jean's family secrets interrupt. And later a past acquaintance tosses it into chaos again.
And the frame story begun in Book 1 continues to a satisfactory resolution (but perhaps not a conclusion).
Here is the cover of my fantasy novel, Witchery. Sadly, the publisher, Double Dragon Publishing, closed their doors in 2021. This book is currently unavailable for purchase. Nevertheless, a teaser for the story is below, since I do expect it to be available for purchase in the future. For a really spiffy review, click here: https://wp.me/p9ghAg-3EH

Kaar escapes with Mirra’s help, and the two join the forces of Kessia. As the armies clash outside the southern wall of Dark Home in a battle of magic and steel, Teyla arrives at Dark Home.

When Collin surveys the slaves acquired from the Kursh as spoils of battle, he sees a beautiful young Aelfir woman. Her name is Tsha. He knows immediately that he will marry her, they will have a son, and that one year later they will both fall to the weapons of their enemy. The Prophecy has said so.
The warlike and terroristic Kursh are intent on totally exterminating the Aelfir because the people of Aelf possess a magic that makes things grow but can also kill. The Kursh are also the self-declared enemies of the Free Peoples, and intend to conquer and enslave them. Collin is the elected leader and the supreme commander of the armies of the Free Lands. As prophesied, when their son is a year old he and Tsha lead the vastly outnumbered armies of the Free Peoples into battle against the entire invading Kursh nation. As prophesied, the Kursh army is utterly defeated and Collin and Tsha do fall beneath the weapons of the Kursh. But, that is not their end... |
