Two more of my poems, "All the Dancing Bears" and "The Beast Within", have been accepted by The Rusty Nail Literary Magazine to be posted on-line and then printed in a later issue of the print magazine.
My first two poems accepted by them and already displayed on-line, "Living With the Tiger" and "My Yesterdays", are now scheduled for publication in the October, 2012 issue of The Rusty Nail print magazine.
I am pleased at having some of my poems published in their on-line and print versions of the magazine.
Cheers!

Aldric & Anneliese Received A Great Review!
Fran McGraw, a reviewer at Military Writers Society of America (MWSA) and someone I had never encountered previously, gave my medieval action-adventure novel, Aldric & Anneliese, a fabulous review.
A sampling: "You can find just about anything you’re looking for when you read this special story. If you want the thrill of victory on the battlefield, you’ll find it; if you want the gruesomeness of war, you’ll find it; if you want romance, intrigue, betrayal, tragedy, revenge, hopelessness, and ultimate redemption, you’ll find it. Aldric and Anneliese is a tale for young and old.
... this great tale held me captive through to the end. I personally feel this item is good read to younger children, as a bedtime story, young adults venturing into reading for themselves, and adults as a light tale of true honor and integrity. There was no one part of the book I liked above the other, except for the morals and integrity listed within. Through action and word, Aldric is a prime example of a true friend, a great leader, and a person true to their word. Once it was over, I wanted more stories from this author. The tale was fast paced and one I couldn't put down. I felt transported back in time to a year where life was physically hard, and not always rewarding. Lessons learned often came at a high price. I would recommend this book to all readers. It is one that whisks you away into another world. It transports you through great imagery and action. A whole new adventure to be found. The author is very talented. I will be searching other books out from this author and adding them to my collection."

I also want to thank Fran McGraw for her wonderful review. I truly appreciate it!

The book trailer for Aldric & Anneliese now has 1,727 'hits', and still the sales for Aldric & Anneliese have never amounted to much. I wonder if I entitled it incorrectly? Maybe viewers think Aldric and Anneliese should be a mushy romance, whereas it really is an action-adventure tale of battles and warfare with knights and kings in medieval times, making it more of a man's book. Perhaps I should have entitled it "Aldric, Mighty Warrior". Then the men readers might have noticed it more.
What do you think?
