At last I am back in Connecticut. It has been a busy but profitable five months. I drove through NY, NJ, PA, IN, IL, MO, TN, MI, AL, GA, SC, NC, VA, DC, and of course up the rest of the east coast to CT. I spoke to thousands of students at both middle and high schools. I met Suzanne Collins aunt, Michael Jordan's high school librarian, artist Dion Williams, author L.B. Graham, singers Shane & Shane... and made some great new friends in writing circles.
It has been one year since the release of Swords of the Six and we have sold 2,972-copies! In January, while in Indiana, I completed writing my second novel Offspring. And in February I met with AMG Publishers and soon after they offered me a three-book-contract, which I intend to accept.
I'd like to extend a special thank you to the host families and couples who housed my wife and I so that I could avoid hotel costs.
So what is next: First is my least favorite thing Taxes are Due. Then I have to decide what to do for work this summer. God has blessed and I am hoping to find venues to sell my book during the summer. Most schools are going to be out and they are my chief source of income. Also on my agenda, I am continuing work on my third novel The Key of Living Fire and plan to have it finished sometime this summer.

Good to hear you've been doing well Scott. I've managed to get a copy of The Sword of The Six, and I've almost finished it. I plan on writing a full review (I'll post it around on review sites). I'll also suggest the book to a few friends. Count on us (the readers) to help market.

That's a HUGE achievement dude! A semi-national book tour! 3,000 copies of your book sold in ONE YEAR!
Keep up the awesome writing man! Praying for the best :D
