2- Books sold in July –58
Sold 5 paperbacks in July, which is usual because normally I’m lucky if I sell one. Most of my book sales are eBooks and the rest is from Kindle Unlimited book borrows.
Glad to see that some readers are still reading paperbacks.

4- Revised Release Date: New Book will be available in September 2023
Great news! The release date of my new book A Place of Darkness and Other Stories is now September 1st, 2023, one month earlier than I had previously planned.
A Place of Darkness, thenovella (a longfeature story) in this book, can best be characterized as a psychological thriller with several interesting plot twists. I hope you’ll enjoy it.
