Got the “Proof” in hand!
What a great feeling to finally get the “Proof” copy of The Ghosts of Ukuthula from Create Space. Book Cover came out fabulously, thanks to the great professional art work by my daughter Gigi. The three maps – Southern Africa, Botswana and Namibia also showing just the way I had hoped. Now for the next few days I’ll be reading and checking every last item before giving the “OK” to go to print and e-publish on I-tunes, Kindle, B&N and through your local bookstores. I‘ll have some early deals available on the 1st of June for those of you who want to be the first reviewers. Hope you love it!
Audio Book Format – “Rough Enough”
I just opened up a site with Amazon’s audio book system, ACX which will mean that my 4.5 Star, Civil War book, Rough Enough, will soon be available in an audio system so that those of you who want to listen to it while driving, working or sitting at home, will have a new opportunity to get the full information about this book!
A young man comes of age in the Civil War and then on the frontier. Non-fiction, based on letters and a diary of Richard Clow.
Hope you enjoy the book in whatever format it is most acceptable to you.
