The Nine-finger Revolution is an alternate history novel where the American Revolution of 1776 failed. The British Empire still maintains strict control over not only the North American Colonies, but much of the world.
Colonial attitudes are changing, though. Slavery and political infighting has created an atmosphere where revolution is again possible, this time in the twenty-first century.
In the middle of the upheaval, Prince James, the only heir to the British Crown, discovers he may not be the person he believes he is. He learns a terrible secret that might put him on the wrong side of the revolution.
The Nine-finger Revolution is available on Amazon in ebook or paperback.

My resolution to write a short-story per month in 2017 is still on track. I’ve got four short stories under my belt already. And that kind of productivity is starting to cause problems.

Current word count in my new novel – 71,600 words. John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” was a lot darker than I remember it from high school. I remember Lennie quite well, but George wasn’t as sympathetic as I remembered him from way back then. The interesting thing about Steinbeck is his introduction to sections…
Okay, it’s been a while since I have posted any information about my new novel here. I just finished 66,667 words (exactly,) so I am officially 2/3 of the way though my first draft. Actually, I am past page 300, so that would indicate that I am about 3/4 of the way through. However, I…
I just completed my weekly goal of 4,220 words and my novel is sitting at 12,459 words. I’m probably not done for the day or the week, but I have the Nebula Weekend on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I’m sure I’m not going to get a whole lot written during that time, so I needed to get…
