My debut novel, Hatfield 1677, will officially be released next week, Tuesday, May 21. It will be available for purchase online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I am diligently working to place it in indie bookstores and at Barnes & Noble bookstores here in North Carolina, in Hatfield, Massachusetts, and in my childhood home of San Diego County, California.

I think Hatfield 1677 is an amazing story, and I think I’m a good writer. I am proud that I wrote a novel, which many people want to do and few accomplish, and so I’m happy. But like all art, a novel needs readers to breathe life into it. Unseen paintings, unheard music, and unread novels die a sad and lonely death.

My plea to you is simple and four-fold.

Please buy my book, in whatever format you prefer, from whichever source you want.

Please read my book.

Please rate and review my book on Goodreads, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble. If you can’t give it three stars or more, (preferably four or five) please let me know so that I can improve my craft for my next book.

If you love Hatfield 1677, please share on social media and recommend it to your friends, request it from your local bookstore, and ask your library to stock it.

Thank you.
