I have been refocusing for the last month. My energy has been spent on researching a nonfiction book on how to publish ebooks. I have made a decision to change the Qua Nie series into an alternative history series and am doing research about the specific changes I want to impose on 1850 to 1860 in America.  May take a few months as I will probably travel in some of the stares where the Iroquois Confederation were moved to.

I am in the process of re-organizing my three webistes. the deweydempsey site will be the primary site for my Author persona. The obsidaineagle site will revert to its original design as a coyote blog and meditations on the ineffable. This site will focus on coaching and workshops. My primary offerings for the first half of 2012 will be on creative writing and ebook publishing.

My business plan does not include writing any more in the Diamond Series. The Qua Nie series is slated for research only. I am currently working on two contemporary fiction works in a new genre and one nonfiction book on Ebook writing and publishing.

I plan to spend the balance of this year setting up a new marketing campaign and then move back to writing.

I have just completed and published Diamond and the Shape Shifting Mayans on Kindle, Nook and iTunes. I will turn 70 on Friday. During the last year i have published five novels and a major revision of two of my short stories.  I also took two months out to go to Quebec.

With the exception of the collected short stories, all of my works are now available on Nook and on Itunes. For Nook, just click on the Nook Author Page.  For ITunes, go to the ITunes Store and search for Dewey Dempsey and it will take you to the purchase page.

A friend helped me design a new Ebusiness card. I plan to activate those activities in November, as soon as I complete the next tow books.  Let me know what you think of the card.

I am back from Quebec and beginning to work on my novels. Ii hope to have the next books in both the Qua Nie and Diamond Adair series published in Ebook formats by the first of November.

I have made a decision to  put aside any work on my novel and storytelling until Labor Day. I plan to study, eat, play, dance and explore in French for the next two months. I will do final edits on the next Qua Nie and Diamond books when I return.  I will check my email and phone messages in English, but nothing else.
Here is a link for Trois Rivieres, where I will be based this summer:

I want to think all of you who participated in the just closed Give-Away of the first book in the Qua Nie series.
I am in final edit of the next installment in the Diamond Rising Star Adair series: Diamond and the Shape-Shifting Mayans.
I may have another give-away in August featuring that series.
