Masculine Christian Fiction
The Coppersmith has continued to climb in the rankings, as almost 1,700 copies were downloaded overnight. We have now completely surpassed the high-water mark set by Jefferson’s Road: The Spirit of Resistance, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see us bump up against 10,000 by the end of the promotion (around 2 am EST).
Here are some screen shots:
Many thanks to everyone who’s tweeted, liked, mentioned, and downloaded the book! I hope it scares the snot outta you!
Yes, you read that right. The Coppersmith, my serial killer novel that takes place in Upstate New York (nothing quite like creepin’ out the home folks!) is FREE to Download from Amazon for the next three days.
This is the second “Kindle Promotion” I’ve done so far. We saw more than 6K downloads for the first Jefferson’s Road book. Aside from the freebies, The Coppersmith has outsold Jefferson’s Road by about 2:1.
I’m real curious to see how this works out.

Meanwhile, I’m hard at work on Topheth, the sequel to The Coppersmith. You can find an excerpt in the back of the book.
August has been a month of interviews, courtesy of my publisher, Rochelle Carter at Ellechor. I’ve posted three author interviews in various places on the web (and as soon as I locate them all, I’ll supply links!), and today I received the link to a phone interview I did with Irene Watson over at Inside Scoop Live. I’m uploading the MP3 file below if you want to listen.
I just discovered that I’ve made my first landing on French soil. Yes. Someone in France has downloaded Jefferson’s Road. Now, I’m not one to think more of myself than I ought, but neither do I dismiss small beginnings, so to speak.
Given that France’s new socialist President is threatening to put a confiscatory 75% tax on the wealthy (See The New York Times), I’m wondering just how well my anti-Marxist, Freedom-oriented book will do over there.
Regardless, we’ve broken past 6.1K books and are still climbing.
This has to be one of the craziest months I think I’ve ever experienced, writing-wise, that is. Not only are we in the midst of this major publicity push for The Spirit of Resistance, resulting in a readership that is shooting exponentially through the roof, but my publisher for The Lost Scrolls has been cranking down hard on the publicity there, as well.
I just got off the phone with Irene Watson, doing my first “live” interview for The Lost Scrolls. That was fun – a little nerve-wracking, if I do say so. The whole time I’m talking I’m experiencing this, “Oh Jesus, please keep me from saying something stoopid!” kind of feeling, and just kind of babbling on. Well, there’s a first time for everything. If I do come off as an idiot, it’s probably accurate, but I’ll still blame the overnight shift and four hours sleep I’ve had.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from this month so far:
