Judgment Fire and the Rest of the Tempe Crabtree series

Judgment Fire is now available. If you go to my website: http://fictionforyou.com and click on the Buy button, you'll go directly to the publisher and receive an automatic 10% discount.

I just finished doing a second edit to the next one I've been working on. Will have a professional edit before I send it to my publisher. Then I have to get to work on the next one.

Good to see you. And I have sold about two thus far since the public day within my community but I am still attending vendors when I can. Mostly been helping my brother sell his art. I am praying for purchases from my web site.
