The Compleat and True History of the Witches of Galdorheim

Now on Amazon

The only way to put a book on Amazon from Smashwords is when you have earned $2000 in sales (dollars, not Krone) through Smashwords via the distributor that just take the book and hope for the best.

So, you gotta me again Amazon. Fortunately, my files for Smashwords tucked nicely into KDP with only removing the reference to Smashwords (which SW requires). So, presenting ASIN B07WSH63N7 (drum roll please):



In a few days, I'll run either a five-day for free or countdown deal. It's on KDP, but as soon as I've used that pitiful marketing technique I'm unchecking that KDP renewal box. It just has not been worth the trouble. It's certainly not worth the trouble on this compilation of the four books and one short story which is all she (meaning me) wrote.

New Cover for Blood Ties Tested

Since Blood Ties Tested is really Book 4 of the Witches of Galdorheim series, I decided to add that to the cover. While it isn't a true sequel to the other three volumes in that it continues with the story of Katrina the teen witch, it is definitely part of the Galdorheim world, following what happens to Kat's favorite smart-aleck little brother, Rune.

Since all the books are now available through Smashwords as well as Amazon, it was a good time to release the revamped (that's a pun, by the way) cover. I also plan to dump the Box Set (with the first three books and a short story) and add BTT to the bunch to make the "Compleat and True History of the Witches of Galdorheim." What do you think? Do you like that title? Also, I'm working on a cover for it which will include all the covers, including little story, Spellslinger.

BLOOD TIES TESTED (Amazon Kindle and Smashwords All Formats)
Unfortunate events lead a half vampire boy into indulging his vampire side, leaving him with regret and sadness. Can dear old Dad help him forgive himself?

Following the events in the series Witches of Galdorheim, this additional tale relates what happens to Katrina the Witch's younger brother, Rune. 

Half vampire and half warlock, he faces life with a wisecrack and some powerful magic. Whatever happens, he does not want to be a vampire like his father. Unfortunate events lead him to fatally call on his vampire half. This failure leaves him in anguish. 

How can he assuage the guilt he feels? His mother thinks he needs to visit dead old dad, a vampire residing in the Tatras Mountains of Slovakia.
