From the author of Let’s Get Digital comes a fresh, new approach to platform-building. This free platform building guide breaks down what an author platform is, exactly, and what it should contain—and what you can safely skip, so you can focus on writing more books. Authors are told to “build a platform,” or “get their name out there”—advice that’s as vague as it is useless. Following will show you precisely how to build your author platform, walking you through every step involved so that you can build a real platform, a proper readership, and a sustainable career as a writer. This book is exclusively available as a bonus when you join my free marketing newsletter. SIGN UP HERE to get Read More…

Blacklisted from the railroad and his marriage in tatters, he flees New Orleans on a steamer bound for the tropics. In Honduras, he begins a quiet new life. But trouble has a way of finding Christmas. With unrest sweeping the countryside, he’s kidnapped by bandits. Soon, he finds himself taking sides in an all-out civil war–as leader of the rebellion. MERCENARY is the story of the USA’s most famous soldier of fortune: the hard-drinking drifter who changed the fate of a nation.

Catalina Flores de la Peña’s tongue got her in more trouble than any other part of her body, even though there were far more likely candidates.

A Storm Hits Valparaíso is an epic historical adventure starring two brothers torn apart by love; a slave running for his life; a disgraced British sailor seeking redemption; and José de San Martín, an Argentine general who deserts the Spanish Army to lead a bloody revolt against his former masters.
