Ready or not, the new year is up and running. Happy New Year, everyone.

To me, early January always means taking stock of yourself and rededicating  resources to achieve your goals. One of my primary goals this year is becoming a successful e-book author. My resources include this website and social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Linked In to promote my work.

I will continue to write my blog, although it will take on a different feel as it grows and develops. And, most importantly, I will continue to offer e-books for sale on amazon.com and promote them here and elsewhere. To that end, there’s been a recent change in the lineup.

Look for “Devil’s Hollow,” a Gino Tenpenny detective mystery, to appear alongside “One Christmas Knight” within the next two weeks.

“Gun To My Head,” a near-death baseball experience, will be published in time for when pitchers and catchers report for spring training next month. You can read the first chapter by clicking on its page in the right-hand menu.

More titles in different genres are scheduled for release before summer. Comments are always welcome. If you would like to leave a private note, e-mail me at frankverde@frankverde.com There’s a form on my contact page.

Join me in 2012, a year in which we kick off a new and improved Mayan calendar for the next millenium and beyond!
