# rweirauthor.com > Author site for R. Weir Books ## Posts - [2025 Year in Review](https://rweirauthor.com/2025-year-in-review/): 2025 was an unusual year for my family and me. Kim was tied up with a work project all year, which limited what we could do when it came to traveling. We vacationed in Deadwood, South Dakota, and drove to a book event in Branson, Missouri. But not much else. Our hope she’ll be free of work obligations for 2026, with lots of plans to travel in our RV. Along with Deadwood, we have plans to travel to Tucson in March (more on that later), Iowa, Wisconsin, Nashville, and Calgary throughout the year. It will be fun to spend time […] - [The Women Who Keep Jarvis on His Toes](https://rweirauthor.com/the-women-who-keep-jarvis-on-his-toes/): This month will be a shorter than normal newsletter, as I had to put it together quickly. I’ve been working feverously to finish the last draft of Mayhem in Music City before sending it off to my editor. An lo and behold, I emailed the draft to Tina last Thursday. I still have a faint chance of getting the book out this year. December 31st being the release date I’m shooting for. We’ll see if I can squeeze it in, but quality comes first. If not, it will be out in January or February 2026. Mayhem in Music City will […] - [Donnie & Kogel, a Winning Team](https://rweirauthor.com/donnie-kogel-a-winning-team/): I’ve made a slight change to the schedule for sending out my newsletter. In the past I normally would mail it out on the first Monday or Tuesday of the month. Since this is a busy time for email newsletters, I’m going to push this back to the second Monday or Tuesday of the month and see how it goes. I’ve been seeing good open rates for the newsletter, but I wanted to determine if sending later in the month will get more engagement. If you have thoughts, ideas or suggestions for the newsletter, as always don’t hesitate to send […] - [A Divine Character](https://rweirauthor.com/a-divine-character/): The past several weeks around our neigborhood has been noisy. First it was Google Fiber going into the ground on the streets outside our home. Then it was a sidewalk improvement project, where old sidewalks were jackhammered and then ripped out of the ground. New cement laid for the sidewalks. When the sidewalks were torn out, the new Google Fiber cabling was ripped out as well. Word is, the cable had been installed too close to the sidewalk. Then several new sidewalk sections were jackhammered and ripped out again for some unknown reason and once more replaced with new cement. […] - [Characters Make the Story](https://rweirauthor.com/characters-make-the-story/): I’ll start off this month with a cool video from the family cabin in Frisco Colorado. This was caught on the security cameras, a huge moose and baby walking past. We’ll see if this comes over in the email when it’s sent. If not, you can find this and other wildlife videos and photos on the Wildlife section of the Fun Stuff Page on my website, along with other videos and photos for your enjoyment. On my Bringing Life to Characters vodcast, towards the end of each episode I ask the author’s I’m interviewing their secret to bringing life to […] - [Keeping New Website Up-To-Date](https://rweirauthor.com/keeping-new-website-up-to-date/): One challenge for any author is keeping their website up-to-date. Especially those of us who handle all the work ourselves. I know with my old site, there were times I’d go back and look and realize I’d not even added my latest book anywhere on the site. I see this is true of other author websites, where information is often out-of-date, so I’m not alone. I will be working hard to keep all the latest news and information posted for everyone to view. One task I did accomplish was getting most of my older newsletters migrated over. I initially had […] - [New Website is Now Live](https://rweirauthor.com/new-website-is-now-live/): I’m pleased to announce after a lot of work, my new website is live. The design is simple, clean and easy to navigate, on your computer, tablet or phone. There is a new domain and new email addresses for contacting me. This newsletter will cover the main pages in detail with a few screen shots to help you understand the design. I had a few people give me their thoughts on the new design and they have been positive. I hope you’ll visit and let me know what you think. You can access the new website via the domain, www.rweirauthor.com. […] - [Website Migration Challenges](https://rweirauthor.com/website-migration-challenges/): Hello everyone. I wanted to start by apologizing for the duplicate newsletter, which went out on April 22nd. I moved the RWeir.net website over to my new webhost, Hostinger, and my newsletter sending application, Mailerlite, thought it was a new newsletter and emailed it. This was something I thought about, but neglected to turn off the automatic send function. Live and learn. I did get a fantastic amount of opens on the newsletter, even though it went out earlier in the month. If you had missed it the first time, hopefully, you gave it a read the second time around. […] - [The Challenge of Starting a New Series](https://rweirauthor.com/the-challenge-of-starting-a-new-series/): Kim and I had a great time at Left Coast Crime in Denver. I had the pleasure of being on a panel discussing Crime In Colorado from an author’s perspective, with four other fabulous Colorado Crime Authors. From the left: Marie Sutro (Moderator), Patricia Raybon, Helen Starbuck and Cynthia Swanson. I attended several other panels where I learned a great deal about those authors and their journeys, and tips on marketing and podcasting. I got to interact in person with author friends and make new ones, several who agreed to be interviewed in the future on my podcast, Bringing Life […] - [Justice For The Forgotten Now Available](https://rweirauthor.com/justice-for-the-forgotten-now-available/): Today is the day I release my new book, Justice For The Forgotten. If you pre-ordered the book, thank you so much. It should be available now to read on your Kindle or Kindle app. If you haven’t ordered yet, the 99-cent pre-order price is still available on Amazon until March 9th, when it will go up to $5.99. So get your copy today. If you like paperbacks, you can order from Amazon for $15.99 plus shipping, or a signed copy directly from my website for $15 plus $4 shipping (US Only). Just fill out the form and I’ll get […] - [Release Date and Pre-order](https://rweirauthor.com/release-date-and-pre-order/): I’m getting to the fun time of year (he winks sarcastically!) when I sit down and do our taxes. This is where I see how much money I’ve spent to get my books in front of readers. A dollar amount that increases each year. The ROI (return on investment) has been low these last two years, which has been frustrating. This is where I will seriously look at other options to sell more books. Honestly, it’s a matter of getting all my books out there and in the hands of readers. Once people read my stories, I get good follow-through […] - [The Year in Review](https://rweirauthor.com/the-year-in-review-2/): I hope everyone had a wonderful, happy, and safe holiday. A couple days before Christmas Kim, Dakota, and I enjoyed a night of mini-golf surrounded by Christmas lights. Christmas Eve was spent with family and Christmas Day with the three of us. And the dogs of course. For New Year’s Eve, we took it easy, which is normal for us. The days of staying up until the ball drops have long since passed. A quiet night of relaxation watching a movie. And on New Year’s Day, we pulled out the fondue pot for Linner. All in all, it was a […] - [Writer's Block](https://rweirauthor.com/writers-block/): I’m often asked if I’ve ever experienced writer’s block. My answer has been, not really. There are times when I don’t feel like writing. But it’s not because I’m blocked, but because I need to have emotion and passion to write. True writer’s block is when a writer has no idea what to put down on paper or continue the story where it sits. Thankfully, that has never happened to me. I step away for several days, come back and the story flows out of me until I’m drained and then I’ll stop again and take a break. I’ll even […] - [A Special Free eBook Deal](https://rweirauthor.com/a-special-free-ebook-deal/): A quick newsletter with a special eBook deal I’ll mention later. First off, my new book will be going off to my editor by the end of the week. I have three beta readers who are finishing reading my second draft. Early feedback has been great. One telling me the story held her attention from beginning to end. I’ve also reached out to my cover designer to begin the process of developing the cover, giving her a few ideas on the design. The book, Justice for the Forgotten, will be the beginning of a new series. I will have more […] - [The Early Days of My Writing](https://rweirauthor.com/the-early-days-of-my-writing/): I’m slow with the newsletter as I was down and out for about a week with a stomach virus. The first I’ve had in many years. It was not fun, but I’m finally getting back to normal. During that time I was not able to do any writing on my latest book. But fortunately this past week I got into the groove and I’ve finished the first draft. Now I’ll go through the story several times and make corrections and fixes. I’ve contacted my beta readers and will soon get their feedback. I still hope to get this book out […] - [Three Weeks Away From Home](https://rweirauthor.com/three-weeks-away-from-home/): Sorry, I’m a little late with this month’s newsletter. After three weeks away from home, I’m trying to get caught up. First, it was 17 days away in Nashville for the Killer Nashville and Bouchercon events. Then we were back home for three nights and then on the road again for 5 days in Loveland Colorado for the Goodguys Car Show and Craft Fair. All were fun but exhausting. Nashville was crazy hot, at over 100 degrees for three straight days, and many others in the upper 90’s. Over 1700 miles were driven in our motorhome and Honda CRV. Thankfully, […] - [Naming Characters](https://rweirauthor.com/naming-characters/): The hot weather is continuing for us along the Colorado Front Range. And unfortunately, we now have four wildfires burning in the foothills and mountain areas. The Quarry Fire in Jefferson County, the Stone Canyon Fire in Boulder County north of Lyons, the Lake Shore Fire in Boulder County, and the Alexander Mountain Fire in Larimer County West of Loveland. With highs in the upper 90’s and humidity running about 10%, it’s making for terrible conditions for firefighters to battle these fires. Not to mention they are burning in hilly and rocky areas making it even more challenging. Though it […] - [My Busy Schedule](https://rweirauthor.com/my-busy-schedule/): On our trip to South Dakota, we had a wonderful time. Not only at the Wild Deadwood Reads book event, where I sold quite a few books, but traveling around the Black Hills region and seeing the sights. Here are a few pictures taken at the book event, including the winner of the Little Free Library created by my father-in-law Danny and brother-in-law Tim. The young man the winner of a slot machine-designed library full of books donated by authors attending the event. All part of a raffle of baskets and gifts provided by authors that raised over $2K for […] - [Pirate Sites for eBooks](https://rweirauthor.com/pirate-sites-for-ebooks/): We are currently re-doing a large section of the upstairs in our house. This includes the loft, which is my Packers Man Cave (Yes I’m a Green Bay Packers Fan). New paint, and new hardwood flooring. New flooring for the entire loft, hallway, and all the stairs in the house. The painting is already done and the flooring is being installed this week. Here are a couple of before and after pictures with the last one being the partial completion, without the flooring. We have high hopes for the finished product when it’s done. I will have a final picture […] - [May 1st Release Day for Murder By A Hundred Cuts](https://rweirauthor.com/may-1st-release-day-for-murder-by-a-hundred-cuts/): It will be 5 years this August since we moved into our new home. Our previous home, which we lived in for 22 years, had very little grass to mow. Transitioning to a Xeriscape yard with mostly mulch, plants, bushes, and trees. Our new home is on a large corner lot with all grass, which I hated to mow. Not to mention the huge water bills needed to keep it green during our dry Colorado summers. This spring I completed the transformation of that front lot to a more waterwise landscape. Now with only a small section of grass to […] - [Murder by a Hundred Cuts Release Date](https://rweirauthor.com/murder-by-a-hundred-cuts-release-date/): As you can see from the pictures above, springtime weather in Colorado can swing in wild directions. The pictures were from 18 inches of wet, heavy snow we got a couple weeks ago. Then after it melted, flowers started to bloom from the warm weather, which neared 70 degrees. And then we had another snowstorm of 5 more inches. I’ve lived here for over 40 years, and this type of weather is normal in the Mile High City. And apparently, these flowers are accustomed to the wild swings, blooming even in the cold and snow. The editing is done and […] - [Books and AI](https://rweirauthor.com/books-and-ai/): Good day to everyone. My big news is Murder by a Hundred Cuts is in my editor’s hands. Tina already telling me, “Wow she loved it!” She says she’ll have the edits to me by the end of next week and when I get it, I’ll need to go through all the changes and tighten up the story. Once that is done, it’s back to Tina for one final read-through. When I get to that point, I will set a release date. Right now I’m thinking it will fall sometime in May. My graphic artist is working on three concepts […] - [Writing My Characters into a Corner](https://rweirauthor.com/writing-my-characters-into-a-corner/): I’m taking time out today to write this newsletter. I’ve been working hard on my newest book, and I should have the first draft done later this week. Once I get some final feedback from my beta readers, I will read through it again and do rewrites which should take about two weeks. From there the story is off to my editor for her changes and suggestions. And I’ve started the process of getting the cover created. I hope to get the book finalized and have it released in a few months. The working title: Murder by a Hundred Cuts […] - [What Lies Ahead in 2024](https://rweirauthor.com/what-lies-ahead-in-2024/): Happy New Year to you all! I hope you had a wonderful holiday. We had our usual holiday dinner at Kim’s parent’s house on Christmas Eve. Then on Christmas Day, Kim, Dakota, the dogs and I opened presents and played a few games. A relaxing time for all of us. I finished off the craft fair season doing 25 events this year, compared to 24 last year. Unfortunately, my sales were down about 18% from last year. However, most vendors I talked with said they were down as well. I already have 15 events scheduled for 2024, with more in […] - [A Holiday Gift of an Autographed Book](https://rweirauthor.com/a-holiday-gift-of-an-autographed-book/): Hello and Happy Holidays to everyone. It’s been busy around the Weir household, with Thanksgiving dinner held at our house and all the events we’ve been attending. I hope everyone had some time off to spend with family and loved ones. Be sure to read all the way to the end of the newsletter, as I have a special free eBook offer as a thank you to all my readers. It has been a busy month of November, with all the events I’ve done. Sales early on haven’t been up to last year but have picked up this past couple […] - [Now Available: Audiobook for The Divine Devils](https://rweirauthor.com/now-available-audiobook-for-the-divine-devils/): Happy Halloween to everyone. I’ll start off by sharing a picture of our pumpkin patch haul, which wasn’t too bad. We picked and shared them with our neighbors, who happily took most of them after we kept three for ourselves. Here is a couple of pictures of beautiful fall colors I captured on the drive to one of our events. At the beginning of the newsletter, you’ll find my new logo. It was designed by my cover artist Mia, who felt it was time for an update to combine the logos for my two book series. I think it really […] - [Sept 29th is Release Day for Divine Retribution](https://rweirauthor.com/sept-29th-is-release-day-for-divine-retribution/): This Friday is the day I hope you’ve all been waiting for, as I’ve certainly been eager for this day. September 29th will be the day for the release of Divine Retribution: The Divine Devils Final Chapter. This book wraps up The Divine Devils series and all the storylines from the three previous books. If you haven’t already, put in your order today on Amazon for the eBook for the low price of $3.99. And stay tuned for other offers on the other books in the series later in the newsletter. With the release of the eBook, the paperback is […] - [Divine Retribution Release Date](https://rweirauthor.com/divine-retribution-release-date/): We got back last week from Killer Nashville no worse for the wear. My daughter Dakota and I had a fun time in Music City. However, the jet we were supposed to fly back on early Monday morning had mechanical issues that delayed us getting home by 5 1/2 hours. Other than the flight issue, the trip was fabulous. Clay Stafford and his staff always put on a wonderful event, with lots of opportunities to rub elbows with other authors and learn about the business. I was on three panels and even got to Moderate one which was fun. The […] - [Killer Nashville on the Horizon](https://rweirauthor.com/killer-nashville-on-the-horizon/): I’m early with next month’s newsletter as I have a lot of news to share. First, Divine Retribution: The Divine Devils Final Chapter is now off to my editor, Tina, for any corrections. Once she is done, it will come back to me to review her suggestions, before it goes back to her one last time. And I’ve contacted my cover artist, Mia, to begin work on the cover. Which I will share here in advance on the newsletter when we get close to the release date. Right now, I’m looking at a late September or early October release of […] - [Pictures from South Dakota](https://rweirauthor.com/pictures-from-south-dakota/): I had hoped to be done with the first draft of Divine Retribution before I left for South Dakota, but alas, I came up short. I expect I’ll finish the first draft by the end of this week. Which means the hard work of re-reading, rewriting, and editing awaits. Plus feedback from my beta readers, which is essential for finding issues with the story. I’m both excited and a little sad about this final chapter in the Divine Devils series. Though there is a possibility of more books featuring some of the other characters in the series, for now, this […] - [KDP Printing Cost Increase](https://rweirauthor.com/kdp-printing-cost-increase/): I spent the week leading up to Memorial Day working on our latest yard project. Since we moved into the house going on nearly 4 years now, we wanted to replace most of the front grass with more waterwise plants, shrubs, and mulch. In this latest section, we had 300 square feet of sod removed. The front yard is now down to around 25% grass, which is a lot less for me to water and mow. Here are before and after pictures. Elsewhere in our yard, we have Irises and Columbines blooming thanks to a wet spring. I have more […] - [A Day in the Life](https://rweirauthor.com/a-day-in-the-life/): We took our first trip in our new motorhome last week. I even wrote much of this newsletter while sitting at our U-shaped dinette. The trip was designed to get acquainted with the motorhome and make sure everything works properly. So far, there have only been a couple small hiccups, thankfully. With the help of our phone’s 5G hotspot, my wife was able to do her job from the motorhome for two days with no significant issues. This gives us options in the future to travel, since her career allows her to work remotely. And our dog Abby was thrilled […] - [Bringing PI Jarvis Mann Back](https://rweirauthor.com/bringing-pi-jarvis-mann-back/): With a cold, wet winter and early spring so far here in Colorado, it’s going to heat up this week and reach the lower 80’s. Hot, dry weather which seems to fuel more wildfires here in the state. I will be pulling out my garden hose to start watering, for it’s too early to turn on the sprinkler system, since we still can have freezing temps into May. We do have a few flowers starting to bloom on the side of the house. And we have another project on the front yard to remove more grass, and add mulch and […] - [Release Day: Lethal Blues](https://rweirauthor.com/release-day-lethal-blues/): After several years of retirement, private eye Jarvis Mann is back in Lethal Blues. The eBook available tomorrow (March 10th). Those of you who pre-ordered will get the book automatically from Amazon. Those who haven’t can still order the book at the pre-order price of $2.99 until March 15th (And be available on Kindle Unlimited). After that date, the eBook will be $4.99. So take advantage of the special price. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in Jarvis’ latest case. And there will be a little teaser at the end for a future 10th book in the series. Here is […] - [Lethal Blues Release Date March 10th](https://rweirauthor.com/lethal-blues-release-date-march-10th/): This is a special addition of the newsletter to announce the finalized release date of March 10th for the eBook Lethal Blues: A Jarvis Mann HardBoiled Detective Mystery Novel. The 9th in the series is now available to purchase at the pre-order price of $2.99 on Amazon, which is a $2 savings over the $4.99 release price. You can check out pre-views of Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of Lethal Blues on my website. Below is another snipnet from the book not included in the chapter pre-views. Back at the Mustang, Dennis looked over the wet roof at me. “The […] - [Private Eye Jarvis Mann is Back](https://rweirauthor.com/private-eye-jarvis-mann-is-back/): It’s a new year, which means a new book. I’m pleased to announce the text is finished for the release of the ninth book in the Jarvis Mann Private Eye series, Lethal Blues. I’m setting the eBook release for March 1st. The release date is pending on getting the cover finished, as my cover artist has had health issues. But I’m crossing my fingers that this date will be met, with the paperback to be released shortly after. You will get a preview of the new cover in the coming weeks in this newsletter. In the meantime, I’ve posted previews […] - [Paperback Quality Issues](https://rweirauthor.com/paperback-quality-issues/): I hope everyone had a marvelous Christmas. I spent a quiet holiday weekend with the family, staying warm by our electric fireplace, all of us enjoying many holiday movies. My personal favorite is National Lampoon’s Christman Vacation. With some of the scenes filmed here in Colorado. A movie that never fails to make me laugh. Others we enjoy are Elf, Home Alone, The Santa Clause, and Polar Express. I’d love to hear about your favorite holiday movies to watch. I made it through all my events and Christmas by the skin of my teeth. I, unfortunately, got COVID right after […] - [First Drafts](https://rweirauthor.com/first-drafts/): I’m happy to announce I’ve completed the first draft (read below) of my next book, Lethal Blues: A Jarvis Mann Detective Mystery. I’ve started working on a few rewrites, and have reached out to beta readers for feedback. I hope to have this book in my editor’s hands by the end of the year to work on getting it finalized. Along with starting the process of getting the cover completed with my wonderful cover artist, Mia. I do plan on posting a preview of the new book on my website. Look for more about this in the next newsletter. As […] - [Developing the Story](https://rweirauthor.com/developing-the-story/): I’m squeezing in this newsletter right after two successful events, including Mollie McGee’s in Longmont where I sold the most books I’ve ever sold at a two-day event. Both craft fairs provided me lots of new signups for this newsletter. Welcome to all of you! Starting November 5th, I will have 7 straight weeks of events, many two days long and one even three days. I will be pretty busy right up until before Christmas. This means my desire for getting the next Jarvis Mann PI book released by the end of the year likely won’t happen. I will shoot […] - [Changes in Kindle eBook Format](https://rweirauthor.com/changes-in-kindle-ebook-format/): In an effort to simplify the work I need to do when someone signs up for my newsletter, I set up an automation function in my Mailerlite system to automatically send an email. Users who sign-up for my newsletter are offered a free eBook version of my Amazon Bestselling Jarvis Mann PI novel Tracking A Shadow. Sending these emails automatically will save me a lot of time over the manual way I used to send them. Unfortunately during the testing process, I accidentally sent a test email to all of my subscribers. OOPS!! This mistake though had some positive results, […] - [Silver Falchion Best Thriller Winner is...](https://rweirauthor.com/silver-falchion-best-thriller-winner-is/): After a hot and humid 5 day trip to Nashville for the Killer Nashville Writers Conference, we returned home with new hardware. I was honored to have won the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award for Best Thriller for the second year in a row. Fallen Star: The Divine Devils Book 2 won against some tough competition, with over a thousand books submitted for this prestigious award. And honestly, I was more shocked winning this year than last, for there were so many more entries and great books to compete against. Thanks to Clay Stafford and his team for running a […] - [Killer Nashville and Jarvis Mann](https://rweirauthor.com/killer-nashville-and-jarvis-mann/): I’ve been busy this past month doing work outside in our front yard, clearing out more grass, and getting our yard more water-wise. Starting early in the morning since it’s been quite hot here in Westminster. Taking out sections of sod a little at a time, trying not to tax the body, especially my lower back. One of the challenges that age presents all of us. Recently turning 63, knowing I can’t work myself quite as hard as I did when I was 43. The final results of the project are below. One of the front garden areas we increased […] - [Vacation Time](https://rweirauthor.com/vacation-time/): I’m a little late getting this month’s newsletter out, as I’m still getting caught up after our family vacation to the Black Hills of South Dakota. A vacation which now is becoming a yearly event for us. This year we stayed in a different RV resort in Spearfish. A beautiful facility with large sites, green grass, a huge pool, and two hot tubs. A large herd of adult and baby buffalo just down the road. We had a great time spending eight days, seeing a lot of sites in the area. Here are a few pictures from our vacation. While […] - [Sold Souls Release Day, Plus Bargain Prices](https://rweirauthor.com/sold-souls-release-day-plus-bargain-prices/): Wednesday, June 1st, is a big day for several reasons. The first is the release of my 11th book, Sold Souls: The Divine Devils Book 3. This story of Hunter Divine and his team of Devils, delving into the hellish world of human/sex trafficking. A case in which some of them may not survive. Here is the long synopsis of the story. The brutal world of human trafficking. Where underage children are bought, sold and sexually abused by their deviant owners. The victims traded around, used up and spit out as if their lives were meaningless. A lethal adversary approaching […] - [The Gritty World of Hunter Divine](https://rweirauthor.com/the-gritty-world-of-hunter-divine/): I hope all the mothers out there had a wonderful Mother’s Day. One of the projects we’ve been working on since moving into this house nearly three years ago, was to make our front yard more waterwise. Removing sections of grass and replacing it with drought resistant plants and mulch. Less to water and less to mow. We completed another section this past weekend and I believe it turned out great. If you have any wonderful yard pictures to share, I’d love to see them. When I started the Divine Devils series, I was looking to branch out from what […] - [Sold Souls Release Date Set](https://rweirauthor.com/sold-souls-release-date-set/): After issues with my newsletter a few weeks back, with the text getting cut off, I’m happy to say I got Mailerlite to change their settings, giving a little more leeway with the size of a sent newsletter. I worked with my website provider WordPress and they said the problem was on Mailerlite’s side, which is what I suspected. Once I was able to prove this to them they increased the size, so this newsletter will not get cut off partway through, requiring readers to go to my website to read the rest. Which I’m thrilled about since my read […] - [Tracking A Shadow Audio Book Now Available](https://rweirauthor.com/tracking-a-shadow-audio-book-now-available/): For those getting my newsletter in their inbox via my marketing company, Mailerlite, now have to deal with a new limitation they added in the last week. Apparently when my newsletter is larger than a certain number of characters, it will cut off the email and put a Read More function to take you to my website to read the newsletter in it’s entiredy. Not ideal and one I’m not happy about. I will likely have to change marketing companines again, but for now I apologize for the inconvienence, since I didn’t discover this until after I’d written the newsletter. […] - [Character in One of My Books](https://rweirauthor.com/character-in-one-of-my-books/): Great news. I’ve sent Sold Souls: The Divine Devils Book 3 off to my editor. Feedback from my beta readers was overwhelmingly positive, with a few tweaks made from their feedback. If all goes well I’m hoping for the book to be released in early June. The story delves into the perverse world of Human/Sex Trafficking, so the content is intense and at times can be disturbing. Hunter and his team of Devils digging deep, trying to find the sister of their client who was sold into the trafficking world as a teenager. A client who has a violent past […] - [Changes Coming](https://rweirauthor.com/changes-coming/): I’m a little late getting out this email, as I was on a roll working on the next book in the Divine Devils series, the working title, Sold Souls. Happy to announce that I’ve finished the first draft and have the story in the hands of my beta readers. Still a lot of work ahead, with more rewrites and then off to my editor. But I’m hoping it will be ready for release by late spring or early summer. I have some changes coming as well. You will notice the design of this newsletter is different than in the past. […] - [Devastation Here in Colorado](https://rweirauthor.com/devastation-here-in-colorado/): Unfortunately, in our area, there was a horrible wildfire that ravaged a large portion of Superior and Louisville Colorado on December 30th. The fire quickly engulfed over 6000 acres in a highly populated region, forcing people to evacuate in a matter of minutes as the flames spread at a terrifying pace. Over 1000 homes were destroyed and another 180 were damaged. Devastating to many families in our area. We happen to live just outside the burn area and didn’t have to evacuate, though we were packed to leave quickly since it was nearby. For those affected we feel for you, […] - [Busy Holiday Season](https://rweirauthor.com/busy-holiday-season/): I had a busy month of November, with four different craft fairs I attended, three of the four being two-day events. Smoky Hill High School, Nativity of Our Lord Church, Mollie McGees, and Arvada High School were all successful events for me.

To all of you, a hearty welcome and thank you for stopping by and joining my wonderful group of readers and fans. One of the promotions I’ve been doing for each event is giving away a free $10 Amazon eGift […] - [Fallen Star Release Day and...](https://rweirauthor.com/fallen-star-release-day-and/): After a struggle to get it finished, today is release day. Fallen Star: The Divine Devils Book 2 is now available. I’m continuing the pre-order eBook pricing of $2.99 for one more week, along with another special deal on another of my books, which I’ll talk about later in this newsletter.

The case spinning out of control, putting all The Divine Devils lives in danger. This was an enjoyable […] - [Fallen Star Release Date Set](https://rweirauthor.com/fallen-star-release-date-set/): After a much longer process than I wanted, I finally have a release date set for Fallen Star: The Divine Devils Book Two.

The case turning into more than they bargained for. Here is a brief synopsis of the […] - [The Week of Awards](https://rweirauthor.com/the-week-of-awards/): Our trip to Nashville was a lot of fun. Kim and I had a great time, though it was exhausting. I did lots of events starting Thursday, going through Sunday, including sitting on two panels. When possible, we did some sight-seeing, walking up and down Main Street in Franklin Tennessee and then on Sunday visiting the Country Music Hall of Fame in downtown Nashville. And oh my…the humidity! Don’t get me started. It was brutal at around 90 percent and temps in the 90’s. All and all a fabulous time, topped off by the award ceremony on Saturday night, with […] - [Scams are Everywhere](https://rweirauthor.com/scams-are-everywhere/): Working in the IT World, I see all kinds of internet scams and malware running ramped. This month I thought I’d talk a little bit about some of the ones I’ve run into lately. What to watch out for and what actions to take. I was on Facebook a couple weeks back and was getting posts from a reader who I’d sent a book to last year. The posts on this page were offering money to comment on the post. A strange offer indeed and one I was immediately suspicious of. I went ahead and posted a comment and soon […] - [Jarvis Mann Box Sets Now Available](https://rweirauthor.com/jarvis-mann-box-sets-now-available/): After nearly a month fighting with Kindle Direct Publishing, I’m thrilled to announce I finally have 2 Box Sets available covering the 8 books in the Jarvis Mann Detective Series.

Besides working on my latest books, we are heading to Deadwood South Dakota next week for the Wild Deadwood Reads Author Event. When we get back I then will be busy helping our daughter Dakota to move back home from Laramie Wyoming where she is going to finish up her college degree online. After that there is our 4th of July vacation. Busy, busy, busy! Which is wonderful since we’ll be out an about, which is much better than last year where much of our time was […] - [Chatting with Book Clubs](https://rweirauthor.com/chatting-with-book-clubs/): Checking the calendar, it was hard to believe another month had gone by. Meaning I needed to put together this newsletter. Time seems to be moving at a fast pace now that many restrictions here in Colorado have been lifted. Much of it due to the fast pace of vaccinations helping to slow the virus down. I received my second shot two weeks ago, happily with no side effects. Thrilled to have some immunity to the virus, though I’ll still be wearing my mask when out in crowded environments for the time being to be cautious. But its good life […] - [Where Ideas Come From](https://rweirauthor.com/where-ideas-come-from/): I’m happy to say I got my first COVID shot two weeks ago. It was the Pfizer version, and I had no side effects. I will be getting my second shot in less than two weeks, happy to have some protection from the virus. I will still be wearing a mask for some time, as I want to protect myself and others when out in public places like the supermarket. But here’s hoping we can all store away our masks and not have to worry about them for many years. Thanks to the heavy snow we received in March, our […] - [Snow, Snow and more Snow!!](https://rweirauthor.com/snow-snow-and-more-snow/): A big storm hit us here along the Colorado Front Range this last weekend as you can see by the pictures above. Rain first followed by two feet of heavy wet snow that is like shoveling buckets of water. Drifts three to four feet high that will take a while to melt. This storm reminding me when I first moved to Colorado in 1982. That year at Christmas we had one of the all-time worst snowstorms for the Denver area, with over 25 inches where I lived, with drifts to the top of the roofs of many houses. I was […] - [Plot Struggles](https://rweirauthor.com/plot-struggles/): The new year is upon us, and I have hope it will be better than 2020, though it has started out rocky on many fronts. The virus continues to rage on, making it challenging to go out beyond our home. We had a death in the family, my wife Kim’s grandmother passing away. She was 94 and in declining health, so she had a good life. We were able to attend her funeral despite the COVID restrictions. She was a big fan of my books, wanting them all and reading many up until the end when her eyesight failed her. […] - [Books Make Great Gifts](https://rweirauthor.com/books-make-great-gifts/): I’m late getting out the newsletter this month since I was working an Information Technology temp job to make a little extra money for this holiday season. It’s been a rough year, since a chunk of my sales are for paperbacks, sales happening at holiday season craft fairs and events. And I normally see an uptick in sales of eBooks after those events which I’ve lost out on this year. Since nearly all of them were cancelled, my sales have been slow to say the least. Disappointing but certainly understandable with the virus running rampant throughout the country, affecting all […] - [The Reviews Are In!!](https://rweirauthor.com/the-reviews-are-in/): As I’ve mentioned in the last couple of newsletters, WordPress my website company changed the editor for my newsletters. I create the newsletter on my website, then use Mailchimp to send it to all on my subscriber list. With this new format I’ve been getting odd results. At times the text is really small and the graphic pictures I use are huge when viewed. While other times it displays with no issue. It seems to depend on the application you use for reading your email. I personally use Thunderbird on my desktop computer and Bluemail on my Android phone and […] - [Release Day for The Divine Devils](https://rweirauthor.com/release-day-for-the-divine-devils/): As I mentioned in my last newsletter, WordPress changed the editor I use to send out the newsletter. I had a couple people mention this new format was hard for them to read in their email. I’ve modified the format of this newsletter, hoping it displays better. If those of you who had issues and are still experiencing problems with this version let me know by emailing me. You can always read all of my newsletters on my website via the blog link. Today is release day for The Divine Devils. Creating this story has been a long process taking […] ## Pages - [Mayhem in Music City Book Sample](https://rweirauthor.com/mayhem-in-music-city-book-sample/): Mayhem in Music City Book Sample Chapter 1 A fog of gray surrounded and consumed me. Squeezing me from all sides. My hands fanned the mist in a futile effort to shoo it away. Fear consumed me of what danger might be in the haze. No idea what was happening or where I was or how I got here. A dark confusion added to the fear. I’d lost control of the situation, if I ever even had control. I was trapped with nowhere to go and no ability to move or flee, other than my hands waving aimlessly.

Nausea and dizziness as her eyes slowly opened, closed, then opened again. The bright light painful to her orbs. Her retinas struggled to make the adjustment. No idea of what was going on. No current memory of what had happened or how she got where she was. Wherever she was. “Where the hell am I!” she yelled. After several minutes, her eyes came into focus. She glanced down away from the searing light, to gauge the surroundings.
