Comments on Soul Riders from readers

I have friends and acquaintances who have read Soul Riders, many of the 400 who attended the book launch at The Angus Barn, and contacted me with comments on the book. I was excited to learn that the book exceeded their expectations and provided an enjoyable "read". The creative storyline was the most common item mentioned in addition to how well the story, and the characters, flowed throughout the book .

Most of the attendees (Angus Barn) know me from the banking world where I deal in structured finance lending and complicated tax credit developments. They were pleasantly surprised by Soul Riders quality and conscious avoidance of crude language like many authors. The discussions surrounding my next two novels, Fatal Decisions and Portrait of Greed, generated lots of interest from everyone.

Publishing a first book is an experience in itself, but when coupled with the interaction from actual readers your emotions range from fear of rejection to exhilaration. No one ever said it was going to be easy and it isn't. But the long ride uphill has just begun and there is still a heavy load to bear as I continue to market my work.

progress on Portrait of Greed

My second book, Fatal Decisions, has been edited and is back with SterlingHouse Publishers for the cover design and print format. I'm very excited about having the next spectacular launch party at the Angus Barn next October for it. The book's storyline and characters exceeded even my own expectations and the novel will be a wonderful compliment to Soul Riders.

Book Signing Launch Party

The Book-Signing event at the Angus Barn on October 29th was a great success. Over 400 people attended to buy books and mingle with other guests. The restaurant staff served complimentary appetizers while in full Halloween costume; including the devilish cashier, "Nancy the Witch".

Everyone loved the atmosphere; a gun-display room full of candles and ghouls. Most invitees commented that it was the most entertaining book signing they had ever attended. Van Eure, owner of the Angus Barn, suggested that we make it an annual celebration to introduce each new book by the author. Next year promises to be even bigger and better!
