OUT OF TIME Is Out

Posted: February 28, 2012 in Books

Well, that was a crappy headline.  I should’ve said it’s available or for sale or something like that. Regardless, OUT OF TIME, the collection of short stories I’ve put together is now available for less than what you’d pay for a crappy value meal at some cheap fast food joint.  That meal would in some [...]

Okay – we won on Saturday 41-39, advancing to the the state final four for the second year in a row. But I fell asleep on the bus. So I couldn’t draw names until today. Tom, you were #1. Diane Murphy, you were #2. Email me at jeffreyshelby@gmail.com and let me know which format you [...]

How THREAD OF HOPE Hit #1 At Amazon

Posted: February 20, 2012 in Books

You might wanna grab a little more coffee and something to eat because this is gonna be kinda long.  Maybe tell your friends you’re gonna be tied up for awhile. So over the holidays I published my novel THREAD OF HOPE over at Amazon through their Kindle Direct Publishing program.  This was a novel that [...]

I’m Writing As Fast As I Can

Posted: February 16, 2012 in Books

So last week, I said I had a million things to say about THREAD OF HOPE.  Making it free and all that followed.  I still do. But I also had a lot of people — A LOT — tell me to get writing.  Like now.  And that’s what I’m doing.  A book of short stories [...]

So about a month ago, I gingerly dipped my toe into the e-pub/self-pub/indie-pub/whatever you wanna call it world.  As the industry continues to shift and change, I’ve tried to pay attention to which way it’s going.  THREAD OF HOPE was shopped diligently to all of the traditional publishing houses, but after a couple of very [...]

See?  I told you this was gonna be a regular thing… A little bit about the protagonist in THREAD OF HOPE: Joe Tyler is a former Coronado police officer.  After his daughter was abducted, he left the small Coronado force under a cloud of suspicion and in hope of finding his daughter.  The cloud never [...]
