Editor's Pick

The Raven and the Wolf  has just be selected as Editor's Choice this week on www.Textnovel.com

Thank you for your votes and for becoming fans on the site of my story.  I am continuing to post chapters on the site.  It's easy to become a fan and to vote. You will have to set up an account in order to read my story and in order for your votes to count. 

Once you have signed up it's easy to hit the thumbs up and the little cell phone icon to become a fan.  Don't get scared by the icon.  They won't be calling you but you will receive notification any time I add a chapter via email.  If you wish you can follow the story by phone but I don't recommend it for standard text message reading format.  I am too long winded to fit into 140-160 characters.

I appreciate your support.

It's Friday!

Just a quick tip about following any of my stories on www.textnovel.com. You have to sign up if you would like to vote and/or follow the story. You can do both and both votes and following count to my overall score. You can only vote once and this is to make sure that the voting is fair and calculating the number of individuals following any given story.

Due to the format of text novel, I have broken my chapters and paragraphs into small chunks to make it easier to read online. I have also played around a bit with the order of the chapters. Please feel free to comment on what you think. I know, I know, poor novelist can't help tweaking. It is the curse of every artist.

In addition to The Raven and the Wolf (current score of 18-thank you) I have added a new tale entitled For Sarah. This is a novella inspired by the real life story of my Grandfather. As a child in Norway he had the very real responsibility of providing for his younger siblings at the tender age of twelve. It is a bitter sweet look at a child forced to grow up too quickly but who learns how to play again with the help of a toothless merchant marine named Smiley.

Follow the story

If you would like to continue to follow The Raven and the Wolf, please go to www.Textnovel.com and look it up by name or by my name. You can vote for it and sign up to get notifications of each new chapter. I should have chapters 1-10 up by the end of the week and will begin posting new to you chapters after that.

On my blog I will continue to post short stories and novel excerpts from my backlog of material. I will also keep you posted on my progress toward becoming a published author.
