Here you’ll find excerpts for my novels, Black Creek, Eagle’s Flight and Black Vengeance. You can, also, link to a live eagle cam or check into the green thumb tips from Brie, the main character in Black Creek.
Thank you to those of you who have previewed one or more of my manuscripts. Your comments have been humbling and are truly what keeps me pushing forward.
I received requests from all 5 of the editors I pitched to at the Spring Fling Writer’s Conference; 1 within agency referral, 3 partials and 1 full manuscript request. As long as I was in the submitting mode, I sent to 3 other houses that looked like they may be a fit for Black Creek, 1 of which has already responded with a request to view the full. I can’t thank my readers enough for your requests for print copies and for the requests for ebook availability. You overwhelm and humble me. I will post as soon as I know something.
For now, I plan to let Eagle’s Flight sit for next 2 to 3 months as I wait to hear about interest for Black Creek…which leaves me with working on book three! I could have worse problems.
I am attending the Spring Fling writer’s conference in Chicago at the end of the month. I am planning on pitching Black Creek with Eagle’s Flight ready if the opportunity arises.
Black Creek is due back this week from a second editor. I’ve finished its synopsis…for the 14th time. Ugh! My first novel is 95,000 words. Writing a 600 word synopsis is like 
cramming 40 college students into a Volkswagon bug. After making revisions on it, I have 13 publishers to solicit and, then, the waiting begins. But not for long. If the publishers don’t work out, I will indie publish this year. It’s a good problem. 
Eagle’s Flight has, also, been returned from the eagle eye (pun intended) of editor H. Danielle Crabtree. I plan on starting the query process with it this summer once I’ve gotten the ball rolling on Black Creek.
Many scenerios could change any and all of this, but it feels great to have a plan and to be moving forward.
My list of amazing readers continues to grow. You are what keep me going. Thank you!

Notice I didn’t say, “Top 3 New Year’s resolutions?” Not even going there, but I do have some things to accomplish this year. What are yours?
I am definitely going to make a decision about publishing on behalf of the patient and supportive readers of my manuscripts. They’re truly awesome and all their kind words really help guide me. I’ve got nine more courses to max out at work and will take a sizable chunk out of that. Finally, I’m going to make more time for my health–both physiological and psychological. Reading for pleasure, working out, taking time to prepare healthy meals and spending time with my family are just to name a few.
I’d love to hear your 3 top goals. Care to share?
This marks the end of the first year of the R.T. Wolfe site and Facebook author page. Thank you, readers of my first two manuscripts, Black Creek and Eagle’s Flight. Your response has been nothing short of overwhelming. I wish you happy holidays and a fruitful coming year. I’ll keep the FB page updated as to publishing options and decisions. Stay tuned!
When I wrote Black Creek, I inadvertently kept my options open regarding the identity of the antagonist. Black Vengeance is working out to be much the same. I have several possible bad guys who I’m weaving throughout the story. Enjoy the sneak peek of chapter one under the Black Vengeance tag!
I am happy to anounce Black Vengeance won as the title for the third R.T. Wolfe novel. Thank you to all who voted!
Do you prefer reading pages made of paper or ebook reading? We’d love to hear your opinion and why. Enjoy!
