Operation Z-Day is FREE April 27-29

The Raven Falconer Chronicles: Operation Z-Day is free in celebration of the completion of the series' final episode, Vengeance Fulfilled, which will be released this coming week.  Also watch for a consolidated version available in digital and Perfect Bound edition.
Z-Day is hosted on over 30 sites today.  It has already been downloaded thousands of times and has excellent reviews.  I believe the series will surprise the average reader of this genre -- this is not a typical Zombie novel, not by a long shot.  Episode one sets the stage, introduces the players and begins a look into the 'Huskers', but hold on.  Episodes 2 & 3 are action packed from the first to the last page.
Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

Here's a peek at the new cover for the consolidated release:

Anxiously Waiting on Vengeance Fulfilled Cover

As I wrap up the last few chapters of The Raven Falconer Chronicles, Book #3, I'm so very anxious to see what Sean Strong comes up with for a cover design.  He reported shooting some actors earlier in the week, which is always good news.

I've had some wonderful feedback from faithful readers this week who have been supportive and helpful -- makes the long nights and sore wrists worthwhile.

I'll post a picture of the cover as soon as it's available.  I'm looking at the last week of April for a release as I'm away on Optometric business for a short time.

Revision Prose: Copy Editing & Proof Reading

Heather McMullin is a friend of mine, a voracious reader and an incredible editor.  She has recently started a website, offering her pinpoint editing skills to the world.  I have utilized Heather's keen eye on a few of my manuscripts and it never ceases to amaze me the things she picks up.  Last year while preparing to publish The Living Hunger I had a 'professional' editor go through the manuscript, making some changes but leaving it largely unchanged.  I then presented the 'edited' copy to Heather and had her go through it.  The difference and professional feel that Heather brought to the final product was astounding.  I am so glad I sought her help before publishing.

If you are a writer and want a product you can be proud of please contact Heather for a sample of her work and a quote.  Tell her Dennis sent you and she'll edit a couple of your pages for free and provide an estimate, including a 15% discount.

Professional Quality Editing Services

I have learned much from Ms. McMullin and now when I write, the entire process seems more streamlined and effortless.   Her assistance has allowed me to concentrate on the creative side of writing and not so much the mechanics.  I no longer sweat the little stuff, knowing she's got my back and will catch even the smallest of mistakes.

Heather, best of luck with your new endeavor!

Raven Falconer: Episode 3 'Vengeance Fulfilled'

I'm in the final stages of writing Episode 3 of The Raven Falconer Chronicles.  I love getting to this stage in the writing/publishing process.  Last night I sent a short synopsis to my cover designer, Sean Strong.  Heaven only knows what he'll come up with, but I'm assured it will be unique, gritty and exactly what the doctor ordered.  Following the release of Episode 3, Vengeance Fulfilled (working title), I'll combine the first three episodes into a single volume, ~ 120k words, to be available in paperback and eBook format.

This volume will find Raven, her friends and the Huskers thrown into new, different circumstances, which will decide their future fates.  Some will die, but you'll never know until the final pages who they are and for what cause.  Also, I hope you enjoy a new character who will be introduced in this episode.  He's just what I was looking for in a way to wrap up this first 3 episode volume.

I hope you enjoy it.  Look for release in the next 30 days.

Surviving 'the' Mother-in-Law

This past week my wife and I celebrated our 33rd Wedding Anniversary, she in Arizona with her mother and me in Edmonton - alone.  Sounds much worse than it is.  She, being the devoted, compassionate daughter that she is, traveled to Utah to help her brother move their aging mother to his place in Arizona.  I was pleased she could spend this critical time with her mom, as they share a special bond - Holly is the only daughter with three brothers.

Mother-in-Law, Yuvona (Right) 1950

Holly's mom is a wonderful woman and I have nothing but love and respect for her, which has been fostered and nourished over the years.  We've had nothing but a harmonious relationship, but I hear this is rare, which brings me to a book that has captured my imagination - The Cats & Dogs' World with The Mother-in-Law, written by Jen Tyrese, Melanie Young and Tina Lee.

They are preparing the eBook for an Amazon release but until then you can preview and buy the book here:

Amazon 5 Star Review by Manchester:

"Swimming with Asian Sharks is an absolutely top quality book in every sense. The information is professional, straightforward, and most importantly, practical - the information learned from this book can literally be applied right away to a wide variety of professions and fields.

I really love how the author incorporates real-life examples into the book, I found the story of his aunt risking everything to move from China to Hong Kong (before it was a part of China) to be very inspiring and it set a very determined attitude and vibe to the book that stayed throughout the read.

What I admire most about this book, though, is that Danny Hui has made it easy-to-read and easy to understand without sacrificing pure advice; a conversational, smooth tone is present from start to finish that keeps the read from feeling 'chorelike' or bland whatsoever. I highly recommend this book for anyone serious about business, whether they're at the bottom or already a business 'shark', I'm sure they could learn something valuable from this ultimately great read."
