Holiday Gift Ideas One of the best gifts you can give anytime is the gift of reading. Especially when you give a book to a YOUNG READER. The main reason I wrote Little Mountain, Big Trouble was to inspire kids who might not be inclined to read to get excited about a story they can …

Now that I have some extra time after a busy book launch tour for Little Mountain, Big Trouble, I “get” to spend some time maintaining the business side of my life as an author. For me, a self-taught web designer, part of that maintenance involves my website. I’m always trying to improve it while also …
LMBT Now Available From All Major E-book Sellers I finally got off my butt and put Little Mountain, Big Trouble into Apple Books, Kobo, and Google Play for those of you who buy your books from those sources.

Probably the number one place I’ve experienced magical moments is the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). I’ve been going up there almost yearly …
HIGH PRAISE from some tough critics for LMBT I got this in a recent email from BookLife, a website owned by Publishers Weekly that helps self-published authors promote their books. But they also run a highly competitive contest, the BookLife Prize, from which the following Critic’s Report was issued for Little Mountain, Big Trouble. I’m …

Coming up on Saturday, September 2, I’ll be at Little Professor Book Center on W. Park Square smack in the heart of downtown Owatonna. As a bonus, the Farmers’ Market will …
