Well, my first book, I felt, was a total disaster, even though I've sold about two thousand copies. It's called...buidling up the supsense...The Orphaned Key. You can find it on Amazon and Borders.com.
Hopefully, my second book will do alot better. I have titled it Dark Macabre, but my editor suggests that I change it to something different.
If you ever want a foot in the door, I'll ask my agent how you can get with him, even though he has a lot of people.

One of them is an ode to Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins. The other is a collection of short stories.

"Charlie Fauxe was a normal fourteen-year-old boy until he finds out that his parents were brutally murdered in the study of the luxurious Fauxe Mansion. Mrs. Norris, Charlie's parent's lawyer, sends him to live with his father's brother, Count Frederick Fosco. Upon Charlie's arrival at Count Fosco's dark mansion, he finds that the count is an evil man with little neck. On the night of Charlie's arrival he starts to find strange signs, including a secret passageway that leads to a dark room. While living at Count Fosco's, Charlie befriends a servant, whose name is Philip. During Charlie's short stay at the count's, he discovers a plot of murder and finds out the darkest secret anyone could possibly imagine. In this short book alone are multiple murders, a dark secret, secret passageways, foul food, a vile villain, and the unmasking of a terrible murderer."
Sounds like a fairly entertaining little read. I might put it on my Christmas list and check it out. *nods*

Hehehe...In my June Sapphire Gazette I said the following in jest:
One of the most irritating things in literature is the destruction of characters relatively early in the book. If I go to the trouble of creating a character, then I would like him to act throughout the book. To kill off a specimen of literature prematurely is not only criminal, but wasteful, and authors that do such a thing to put a plot in motion are tedious and immature. Yes, that's right, I'm calling Shakespeare (Hamlet), Charles Dickens (Great Expectations, Oliver Twist), J.K. Rowling (Sorcerer's Stone), and Eoin Colfer (The Opal Deception) tedious and immature.
Hehehe...excellent memories...

Actually, Eaky, my face has been known to cause narcolepsy and cure insomnia in certain lab animal tests.
