January

Before I start talking about the plans for the New Year, I do want to give 2025 one final salute.  Book wise it was a great year, many new readers, followers, and friends made. Without a graceful way to segway into the numbers for 2025, I will just dive right in  

For physical book sales, paperback and hardcover combined: 

Red At Night sold 509 copies 

Red in the Morning sold 437 copies 

First Light sold 214 copies 

That is a total of 1160 books sold in 2025, bringing my lifetime sales to 2958.  

As much as this sounds like bragging, it really isn’t. I know for a fact that those sales numbers are because of my readers, followers, beta readers, mentors, and all those that support me.  

I thank you all.  

Let’s bring on 2026! 

I have to tell you, I started listing off all my goals for 2026, and to be honest, it was a lot of “Me/I” talk... I don’t like that. 

So, I.... put it in the hands of you, my readers. What goals do you want to set for me in 2026? More Author Talks? More videos? Less videos? What do you want to see? Let me hear what you want, because without you, this boat doesn’t float.  

I do have one goal for 2026; I would like to be a guest on either a podcast (non-political) or on radio.  

I look forward to being your Blue-Collar author for 2026!
