News about my books!
It Started As One Of Those Weeks The great Midwest deepfreeze of 2021 thawed overnight. It was suddenly a balmy 65 and warm enough to pull my car out of the garage. After a frustrating day of tech consultant troubleshooting I needed the distraction of a small project. All I wanted [...]
Entriss Online has been out since January 5th and the reception has been exciting. Maybe even jaw dropping. This is the best release I’ve had on Amazon. “Entriss Online” has remained at a solid rank in multiple genres, some readers new to my books are posting positive reviews, and I’ve also started work on [...]
How far would you go to save a game? Entriss Online is available now on Kindle or Kindle Unlimited or purchase a signed copy at djpwrites.com. The Story Behind The Cover I couldn’t be more excited to share this [...]
I’ve been avoiding social media like it’ll give me Parkinson’s. (Ope, too late.) As much as I love the friendly election-year banter and the register to vote notices - I’ve been head down, nose to the keyboard, polishing my new novel.

Over the weekend I received an unnecessarily brutal review for Angst on Amazon. I’ve got a pretty thick skin after so many years, and there are enough people who enjoy my books that I can roll with the occasional bad review. But this one stung. Maybe it was bad timing. Maybe I just wasn’t in [...]
I was in line for a hot dog at one of my daughter’s Parent’s Night marching band rehearsals when a young woman approached. “You’re Joanne’s dad, right?” she asked. “Yeah,” I said, wondering what I had done wrong. “I loved Angst!” she said with a broad smile. “Oh, thank you,” I said, surprised. “How [...]
I made the mistake of saying I’m cutting back on some stuff in my life to take care of myself. It’s the Murphy’s Law equivalent of washing your car. Either way there’s going to be a storm, and this one has been a wild ride. I left for a business trip to Austin on [...]
