Part memoir, part confession, 100% instructive..." Back when I was a wet-behind-the-ears newbie, fresh out of writing school, I hit the lottery with my first novel, The Innocent. I nailed a $250K contract from a major publisher. I was the talk of New York City, written about in the trades, and movie stars like Robert DeNiro and George Clooney were interested in the movie rights. I bought a new house, hired a personal trainer for the wife, put the kids in private school, and partied most weekend in NYC like I was a rock star. It was a fabulous time that I'll never forget. It was also one of the worst periods of my life. "Not having had someone or something like this to guide me along the way, I made super stupid mistakes that not only cost me my entire bank account, but that nearly cost me my entire writing career. In this short book, you'll get the true story behind my rise and fall and rise again, warts, hangovers, affairs, and all. But you'll also get some useful information on how to make it as both a traditional and independent author, or what's known as a hybrid author, in these modern, digital-driven times. This is the kind of book you can read in one sitting but that you'll go back to again and again. Grab your thrilling copy today.

Why did the man who tried to save Abraham Lincoln from getting assassinated go insane?... Renaissance Man and Adventurer Chase Baker rarely visits home in upstate NY. But when his late dad's resting place is about to be interred to make way for a new road, he volunteers to operate the backhoe. It's the least he can do for a father who was always there to help Chase, the young man. But what he doesn't expect is a job offer by the local Albany Police Department to look into a missing elderly couple. Maybe Chase wants nothing more than to get back to New York City to work on his latest novel, but when the detective in charge happens to mention the couple lived in the same house as Clara Harris and Union Major Henry Rathbone, the young couple who accompanied President Abraham Lincoln in the Presidential Box on the night of his assassination back in 1865, he puts his plans on hold. What makes the job impossible to ignore (aside from the badly needed payday) is that Clara Harris's dress which is rumored to be soaked with Lincoln's blood, is also said to be stored inside a secret vault somewhere in the house. While Chase decides to take on the job of looking for the old couple, he can't help but put his treasure hunting tools to work in searching for the dress first. Standing in his way, however, is not only an egocentric and murderous Civil War Reenactment historian who believes he is the reincarnation of John Wilkes Booth, but more importantly, the dress itself. A dress that bears the blood of the Lincoln Curse. Filled with suspense, real history and alternative history, cliffhangers, action, and paranormal dream-like events, the newest novella-length episode in the bestselling, award-winning Chase Baker "pulp fiction" series is sure to thrill.
