I’m thinking it might be time for another writing retreat.

Last time, I flew up to Oregon for a few days and relaxed on the river while starting a new sci-fi book. I hadn’t really intended on starting a new book, but what can you do when the inspiration hits?

What worries me about doing this again, however, is that I really need to finish the 3, 4, 5 books I have in progress right now vs. starting an entirely new book, which I think is what will happen.

Just the other day I kicked off a new 4 book series, while still having so many other things I need to focus on, especially Book 3 in the Princess Carrina series for Young Readers. Actually, I’m looking for an editor for that one…..any takers?

Anyway - I might be galavanting out into the world to spend some focused time on writing within the next month. It’s a hot time of year to travel, and an expensive time of year to travel, but thankfully it’s all tax deductible…

I have three addictions in life: sour cream, peanut butter, and books.

As I’ve mentioned before, I can’t go to a bookstore without buying something, and I’ve had to actively avoid them because we’ve run out of space on our many bookshelves. Online bookstores, of course, aren’t so easy to avoid, especially since several of my books are available there :-).

Anyway - I also try to check out independent bookstores as well, even though we don’t have that many around here (though we should given that it’s Sacramento)….so I was curious - where do YOU like to do your book shopping? Take the poll and leave a comment!

I am pleased to announce that Homo sarcasmus - Best of the Blog Volume 1.0 is now available at Barnes & Noble! So get on out there and buy some goodness :-).

It’s also available on amazon.com if you prefer to purchase there too.

(within the next month the rest of my books will also show up there, and I’ll be sure to let you know when… ;-))

I am so pleased to announce that Book 2 in the Princess Carrina series for Young Readers is now available in an exclusive hardcover release.

I am also pleased to announce that owners of the Amazon Kindle can also access the book on their device.

No matter which way you enjoy the book, I thank you in advance for your support of independent authors.

You can learn more about the book on the official website www.TheVenusDiary.com (link opens in a new window).

That might possibly be the title of the next big book from author Heath L. Buckmaster.

But let me give you the background.

Today, David told me about a dream he had. Apparently we were were older, and I was a successful author. My dearling Rachelle had also apparently become famous, but in the dream he wasn’t sure what for, but it was some sort of “controversial” fame. This fame prompted me to write a memoir of my life with Rachelle.

The memoir was about how our relationship was basically a marriage without the sexual intimacy. And that’s not all that far from the truth in reality.

Then David paused a moment and told me that I was doing TV interviews promoting the book and all that in the dream, and that the book title was “If you only had a penis.” Well of course laughter ensued after that.

And you know that’s not that far from the truth. I told him that I would love to write a book with that title, because the title alone would help it sell.

So you may see something in a few years with an outlandish title and my name attached to it. If so, you’ll have read it here first :-).

Note: this product is also available on amazon.com and other online retailers.

Why create this book? Good question. Most people who have been following my writing for the last several years have probably seen one or more of these posts and have fallen over in laughter (or else they were drunk while reading them – which I can’t fault them for).

But there are many folks out there who for one reason or another (probably the lack of a good RSS Reader) may have never been exposed to the deliciousness that is Homo sarcasmus. Now keep in mind, I’m talking strictly about adults. This stuff isn’t for the faint of heart, or for those who would blush hearing about dieresis, or diarrhoea for that matter. Oh, and I also talk about Michael Jackson quite a bit, because let’s face it…he rocks.

It’s also not for children because in many cases I have used “language”, and I think we all know what that means when you put quotation marks around it. Actually, the worst you’re going to get is probably hell. Or maybe damn. Actually, I think I used darn instead of damn in the one case I recall. Hell damn yes.

Under no circumstances will you see something like ****. That isn’t my style and I don’t go that way, so in that regard, it’s pretty much safe.

Anyway – this is Volume 1.0 of the best of, and depending upon sales, there may or may not be a Volume 2.0. It’s really up to you. What’s it going to be?
