I wasn’t sure what to expect having only one review to go by, but it didn’t take me long to become completely involved in this novel. I did nothing but read once I started it. I won’t spoil, but the ending blew me away! I will try to be patient while Robert works on his next work of art, but please don’t take too long and for God’s sake, let me know. I don’t want to miss it!
To Be With You in Heaven
My latest short story is now live on Amazon Kindle for only 99 cents. Here’s the blurb:
What would you say if the one you loved most lay dying beside you?
To Be With You in Heaven is a heart-wrenching tear jerker about a couple’s final moments together after a horrendous car accident.
From the author: After writing the first draft of this story several years ago, I sent it to my parents to read. A few hours later I got this response from my father:
“You made your mother and grandmother cry.”
To Be With You in Heaven is a 1400 word short story, and also includes The Story Behind the Story and About the Author sections.
If you’re looking for a quick read, then grab a box of tissues and download To Be With You in Heaven for only 99 cents on Kindle.
Depraved Difference
Since I have so many friends around the city, country and world, I keep getting asked, “How can I get a signed copy?” In response, I have set up a page on my website for your to order.
Here you can order a signed copy using PayPal. I set the shipping for the US at $10 because I don’t know what it will be. Once somebody orders, I’ll adjust it, most likely down, and refund the excess if it is ridiculously over.
So, all you friends, family, acquaintances, co-workers, fan-boys, etc., here’s your chance to show your support and order a signed copy of Depraved Difference.
Here’s the full link:

Thanks for your support!
Oui! C’est vrai! Ok, not sure if that is right, but I think I just dispelled one myth that all Canadians speak French. Non, ce n’est pas vrai. Most of us don’t.
The Depraved Difference paperback is now for sale in France for all mes French amis:
http://www.amazon.fr/dp/1461075858/
And wow! They even have free shipping on just one book. I guess when your entire country fits inside one of our provinces, you can do that.
Rolling Rrrrr… Robert
For all of my Canuck friends, family, co-workers and dare-I-say fans, the paperback edition of Depraved Difference is now available to order on Amazon.ca. Here’s the link:
http://www.amazon.ca/dp/1461075858/
Again, this make a great gift, coaster, bullet resistant vest, and, since it’s for sale in Canada, it is of course maple flavoured (<– Canadian spelling)!

It’s not much, but it is a milestone, and doesn’t include the paperbacks which have been flying off the proverbial shelf here at my office. I only have one left so I’ll have to bring in a bunch more tomorrow. A later post will share how you too can order an autographed copy.
What’s the next goal?
I guess 200.
Another busy week. Here’s what happened:
Here’s the sales figures:
Week 4: 29 new, total 91
Week 3: 27 new, total 62
Week 2: 16 new, total 35
Week 1: 12 new, total 19
Week 0 (partial): 7 (5 of which were friends/family/review copies)
This week will be another crazy week at my day job, so I don’t expect to get much done. This week I just want to try to get some things cleaned up on the Amazon site, so I can finally put that behind me and move forward.
Fellow author L. David Hesler features Depraved Difference and me on his blog today. Check it out, follow him, tweet him, friend him, comment on the posting, and most importantly, buy both our books! I think he’s even donating his profits on April 30th to charity, making him a far better man than I.
Enjoy!

I just received and approved the second proof. I’m informed it will be live on Amazon for purchase within 3-5 days, so hopefully some time next week!
This is a trade paperback (6×9 inches), 273 page, full length, 103,000 word novel. Despite it being Indie published, the Print on Demand (POD) service provided by Amazon through their CreateSpace subsidiary is phenomenal. I compared it to a dozen others on my bookshelf and couldn’t tell the difference (except mine was much more riveting to read!).
So, next week, remember to buy as many copies as you can. They make great birthday, Christmas, Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veterans’ Day, Arbor Day and the all important Groundhog day, gifts. They double as handy coasters, and can balance tables that are really out of whack.
Remember as well, that more is always better, so never buy just one. You need one on your night stand, one in the bathroom, and one in the car. At a minimum.
These are also hot first editions, so twenty or thirty years from now, these will be collector’s items, available on eBay for dozens of inflated dollars.
For those who are within stalking distance of me, if you want a signed copy, let me know and we’ll arrange a meeting. Five book minimum. Kidding. Mostly. I can also be bribed with a steak dinner at Hy’s.
As soon as the book is live, I’ll let everyone know. And I do mean everyone!
Rob
