Here we are halfway through the year. Have you taken time to review your accomplishments and make new goals? If not, do so right away.
One of my goals was to publish my new book, The Pirate and the Princess. I can check that off my list. I published it today, July 9th.
So what is the book all about?
I started this book several years ago. My then girlfriend asked me to write a book for her. I started The Pirate and the Princess with no real plan on a lark. Then she dumped me and the book went on the back burner.
When I finished Back to Vietnam, I wanted to try something new. I pulled the started manuscript up on the computer. It will be easy, I thought, because I had a good start.
Not so, the first draft was a shoot from the hip project. I don’t do well with that. I stopped to research the 1850’s when the book took place. I twisted history to set up the background for the story. That was fun.
With my research in hand, I proceeded to develop an outline. This was harder than I thought. I had to give the Dread Pirate Duncan a good reason for meeting Princess Sophia. Then I had to build a boy meets girl, boy gets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back again.
When all was said and done, I believe I crafted a great alternate history pirate romance.
You will have to be the judge of that.

I beg you to write a review when you’re done. It can only be a few words, but it will really help me with the marketing.
Thanks for reading and to all a good night.
