I am writing this from my new den. I’ve been working on it for weeks. It was originally my den, then became my daughters bedroom for about 18 years, now it’s my den again. I am so happy. Everything in it is used (or recycled). My mother gave me the chair when she bought a new one. My son and I got the desk when a neighbor was throwing it away. But it’s still all mine.
Obviously this is a big deal for me. 5,000 copies of His Robot Wife have been sold as of sometime in February. Sales have slowed a bit, but it still selling better than my other books. Hopefully when I have His Robot Wife: Patience is a Virtue done, sales will hop a bit more. In the meantime, thanks to everyone who purchased my book.

I am dropping the price of Senta and the Steel Dragon Book 1: The Voyage of the Minotaur to $1.99. I have been struggling to decide a price point on this book and this series. I want people to read it and I hope this will make it more attractive.
The book has been out almost exactly two years now, and as I write this, it has sold 259 copies. I think that definitely warrents a price reduction. By going below 2.99 at Amazon, I drop from a 70% royalty rate to a 30% royalty rate, and I don’t really expect the additional sales to make up for it. But hopefully there will be an increase in the sales of the sequels, and that will make up the difference.
If you have read my other books, but haven’t yet gotten to Senta and the Steel Dragon, give them a try. They are my favorite books of all those that I’ve written.
Today marks the beginning of Read an Ebook Week. In celebration of the week, I am changing the price of Senta and the Steel Dragon Book 0: Brechalon from 99 cents to $0. This is not a limited time thing, but is a permanent change.
I will have to remove Book 0 from Amazon, as they will not allow me to distribute free books, but I am uploading it to Feedbooks.com. This along with the other stores which distribute it, should give everyone a chance to find it.
Book 0 was actually intended as Bonus material anyway, so this puts it right where it should have been all the time. I’m going to provide links to the download in the other books of the series. If you purchased Book 0, and paid 99 cents for it, send me an email or leave a post here, and when book 4 comes out (very soon) I will send you a coupon code for it.
Graham Dokkins is one of the major characters in the Senta and the Steel Dragon series. Graham sort of came into his own in Book 2, but he remains extremely important in book 3. Several plot lines revolve around him and his relationship with Senta. Graham really compliments Senta and they work well together as a couple, even though they are kids.
One of the things that I’ve been struggling with is how much Graham appears in Book 4, which isn’t much. In the rewrite, I think I’ll add a bit more of him.
