Frequently Asked Questions

Buying directly from me helps support my writing career. The major retailers take a healthy cut from the sales proceeds.

Depending on the format and price, this can be up to 75%. When my books are purchased from my site, I’m stepping by the proverbial middleman to deal with you.

Also, when you buy directly, I get paid within hours or days, instead of months. That helps keep the lights on and allows me to keep writing.

However, if you prefer to get your books through Amazon, Apple or the others, I totally understand. Above all, I hope you read my books. Where you buy them is secondary.

BookFunnel immediately delivers your eBooks upon purchase.

If you don’t receive an email from them in five minutes, please check your Spam folder. If you use Gmail, please check in your Promotions folder.

Once you receive the email, it takes about a minute or two from start to finish to get your books on your preferred eReader.

BookFunnel delivers the books to the email address you used at checkout, not the one you used to sign up for the newsletter.

We don't.

When you buy, the payment method you select charges you immediately. BookFunnel automatically delivers the book on the release date.

If the email doesn’t arrive on that date, please look for it in your Spam or Promotions folder.

There is never any on-page sex in my books. All that stuff happens behind closed doors.

Some of my series have swearing, though. Here’s a quick breakdown.

The Cozy Up Series—no swearing.
The Flip-Flop Detective—no swearing.
The 509 Crime Stories—has swearing.
The John Cutler Mysteries—has swearing.
The Charlie-316 Series—has swearing.

Most of my series are written to be read in any order. The only series I say you must start with book one is Charlie-316. There are so many twists in each novel that if you read a later story first, you’ll miss out on the earlier surprises.

Rose is a Vizsla, a Hungarian hunting dog. We don’t hunt, but she catches frisbees and loves to join me on my jogs. Vizslas are full of energy and great family dogs.
