Publication Update

Chanon reading The Master of Hound while Pepper stands guard over her master.

Hi Folks!  It’s time for another publication update—a lot happening as always.

Readers on The Master of Hounds 

​The Master of Hounds: Book IV of the Ryland Creek Saga.  I continue to get great feedback from readers on this book—thank you!

The e-book version of TMOH has not yet been distributed. I’ve contacted my publisher, and the put a priority on it and pushed it to the retailers. In the meantime, all e-books are available at my author’s website in both Kindle and all other format.

In the Works

The Forest Ghost: Book V of the Ryland Creek Saga. This is next installment in the Ryland Creek series—a prequel to The Last Coon Hunter—expected publication in mid-2021. I’m 10K+ words—up 2K since last update. Target 85K.

NEW! Ryland Creek Calendar for 2021.  We’ll soon have available the first-ever Ryland Creek calendar. It will available through both Lulu and this website. More to follow—but here’s a sample:
