New Covers

 I've decide to use some new covers on my previously published work. After publication contracts expired or publisher went belly-up, I was able to small press publish them under Triskaideka Books NZL banner. 

My old press that I ran still has a bunch of ISBNs I can use for the new publishing endeavor. My three novels that I want to re-release are: The Game, The Last Church and The Armageddon Shadow, Scorched Earth and Chaos. The publisher is: Writersltd. 


 



Now, I gotta fix up Last Church and make new covers for The Game. Once I got the covers done, I'll update the files and reupload. Once that is done, I'll send the Legal Deposit forms. 


Over at my site: Thriller.nz I made new covers for Death World book 1 and book 2. 


I made these just for fun. This book is undergoing a final clean up and check edit and will then wind it's way to a few publishers I have been researching and a few agents as well.

Pen Names

Hello all, I'm debating on whether or not to us a pen name for my crime novels. You see, way back in 2001 when I made my first sale, I used the name Richard Lee ( http://threeand10.com ). In 2009 a publisher of my second novel, The Last Church convinced me to use my real name. Although I announced the name change to my massive Ning group, MySpace and Twitter, not a lot of people took notice and The Last Church didn't sell as well as it should have with the Richard Lee brand. I had no idea about branding back then. Now, I do. In 2015, I returned to write under the Richard Lee brand and some comments I got were: I wondered what happened to you. Welcome back, Dude.  Missed you. Are you still writing? etc. My books now sell in several languages. Richard Lee wrote horror and science fiction (usually blended together).  Now that I'm writing crime, ( http://www.thriller.nz ) I decided to switch to my real name, and start crime fiction branding (no idea how to do that). But, now I...

How to know your life purpose in 5 minutes | Adam Leipzig | TEDxMalibu

This is a must watch video. Do you know what you wanna do with your life? My wife worked it out two years ago and put a plan into action at the age of 52 (back then) to be a kids English teacher. My wife can find joy in almost everything, even meeting hew people. She sometimes laughs when they introduce themselves. She's bursting with joy. She's very very VERY social. People sometimes give her a strange looks when can't contain herself and laughs at introductions. I know why. You do too, now.  My wife found her life's purpose by accident.  I knew my life's purpose at age eight (when I stopped drawing and started writing) but never really put a plan into action. I wrote many short stories but New Zealand didn't have much of a market (actually it had none) for the horror stories I wrote. This was in the late 80's and 90's before the Internet opened wide.  Thanks to the Internet, I sold my first short story in 2001. Writer's groups were all over the pla...

It all starts with an idea

It all starts with an idea and they come at any time of any day and you can’t control it. You have no say in the matter, really. For me, ideas just pop into my head, as if my muse was chewing her pencil and a crack appeared in the  fabric  of space and time. From that crack, a slice of thought slipped out and my muse caught it. A lot of people believe ideas are the product of the universe and some people (Dean Koontz?) can just grab them when they need. But adhering to this belief, one must assume thousands of other people also received the very same thought. Writers would plot around it; poets would create  beauty  from it; hundreds would do nothing with it. This is called the initial idea and it is the start of whatever you want to make of it. My initial idea is to write a series of articles based on  writing  / learning the art of screenwriting. It is an area that interests me and has done for years. Only now do I have the opportunity to attempt it....
