Smashwords: My first attempt at eBook publishing
Back in 2011, my best friend and writing buddy, Bonnie Eaton aka BJ Myrick, and I were trying to figure out the world of eBook publishing, and we found Smashwords. We published four books which are now a part of the Smashwords End of Year sale. Two are free and the other two are $1.49 from today through January 1, 2025.

When I wrote this book of short stories, talk shows were all over daytime television. Hosts included Maury Povich, Jerry Springer, and Sally Jessy Raphael among others. If you watched them, the opinions of the hosts and guests may have influenced the way you thought about the topics they covered. The Nancy Nolan Show, a collection of short stories about a fictional talk show and its host, Nancy Nolan, will get you thinking about the influence talk shows had on the lives of guests, would-be guests, and viewers.
In this long short story, a woman inherits an Egyptian mummy with instructions for activating its powers and making her every wish come true. Then she learns the mummy has wishes of its own, wishes that put the future of her beloved niece in danger.

In The Night before Christmas, a suspense novel, Wes Myers seeks to save his three small daughters from the pagan beliefs of a sinful world. After promising Jesus he will do anything to save their souls, he hears, “If I should die before I wake….” Can anyone save Wes’s daughters from a father who loves them more than life? This was my first novel which took thirty years from idea to published novel. Caution: This is not a warm and fuzzy Christmas story.
