With the audio book out now, I can finally share some news I’ve kept for a long time…

Caelynn Bell is the narrator for my fantasy romance book, MODERN FAIRYTALE! She’s such a lovely person and did a fantastic job at bringing my characters to life. Listen on Audible! @oliverheberbooks.bsky.social

Message to my tribe.

Going thru a bad time right now.

Time to reach out to the ones I love, to say the words I Love You.

Time to help a friend or a stranger. An act of kindness, compassion, or help benefits you as much as the one you help.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

No.

Most of my books do not include pets.
I do have horses and camels for riding, and farm animals.

Serious underwriter

My 1st draft is half or less the final word count.

Revisions start character development, descriptions, story arcs, background info, and flow. Then I begin to edit where my corrects usually add more words.

Shout out a book reviewer

I cannot control the deeds of others.
I can try to lead by example.
My shout out is to those like me who leave a good review.
Books I do not enjoy get no review. I will not leave a bad review.
