Writing with Basco

Hello. A few days ago I was updating my Smashwords interview. One of the questions was to describe your writing process. The reason I was updating the question was because my writing process has changed. Five months ago Basco came into our lives. He is a Boxer mix puppy and he is now seven months old. Basco Came into our lives during a sad time. Our 13 year old, Shar-Pei was dying. Our hearts were broken. Her name was Trouble. After Trouble passed, our other dog Athenia who is nine years old went into a depression, she wouldn't eat, she was getting sick and all she wanted to do was lay on the floor with her head turned away and if you tried to get close to her, she would growl. Then Basco came into our lives, wormed his way into our hearts and healed the wound. Now we are whole again.

Writing with Basco is fun. I usually have to stop and take frequent breaks to play catch. Basco loves to play catch with a ball, and he will throw the ball. Other time when he thinks that I am not paying enough attention to him, he will jump up, put his paws up on me and I have to take a break, but I don't mind. Then there are the times when he tries to edit my work. I get up go to the kitchen for a drink and when I come back I discover that he has jumped up and put his paws on the keyboard and I have letters like, ZZZZZZZ written across the page. Maybe he's trying to tell me something? I should probably list him as the co author of my books. Check out the picks of Basco below.

Just a quick update

I thought I would give everyone a quick update and go into a little more detail about what's going on with my writing. I have a couple of novels and a short story collection that were published by small presses. The contracts ran out and the rights of these three novels have reverted to me. I am in the process of self publishing them and they will soon be available again in eBook format as well as in print. The first one, Thunder Road is now available to purchase as a pre order. The book comes out on April 11th. If you purchase while it is in pre order, you get fifty percent off of the 3.99 dollar prices. Your card will not be charged until the book is released. Once the book is released your card will be charge and the book will download to your eBook reading device. You can  either go to Smashwords, Amazon or any other retailer that has it. Check out the links below.
