V. Yongewa Writes

Look, I don't like to cast shade on anyone's writing. Everyone has a vision. But this book contains the passage: "His packhorse and his marching horse were also tended to and brushed personally by Ludwig as well as his servants, though not with as much care and love with which Ludwig instilled within his gently gestured strokes of the brush against Golgotha's thick, lush devil-black hair and mane and tail-so black, so dark was Golgotha that it seemed the blackness was not jus

The book cover has a skull on it. It looks cool, I promise. Welp, I fixed the meta data on my books. If you put into the keyword search 'medieval inspired mystery', 'political intrigue,' 'spies,' or 'Family loyalty,' my works should pop up in your preferred bookstore search. But more importantly, I had to inspect my markets for the first time in a while. I hadn't realized that 'What Hides Below's print copy never went wide. For some reason, I had only put the e-book version

I hadn't wanted to shout from the hilltops that you should rush to various bookstores and online retailers until the book was actually prese

Yesterday, I went on a bit about the femme fatale knockoff I met in 'The Couple Next Door,' and my reaction to the final chapter, in which the sexy scheming lady(tm) is stabbed by the crazy girl (tm) despite the sexy scheming lady, in my estimation, not really deserving such an attack. Like, the book ends with the schemer being put in an ambulance. My gut reaction was to think this was an author working out some jealousy. I don't know the author at all, so that isn't a fair a

I had grabbed a book from the Little Free Library called "The Couple Next Door." It was a book written in 2017. This thriller follows the kidnapping of an infant from an emotionally unstable lady. Throughout much of the book, Anne, the lady in the case, is set up to be someone who will snap and physically lash out when pushed too far. When it is revealed that her own stepfather was the one who had the baby and was manipulating everyone to scam money off his wife and abscond w

Well, virtual shelves, at least. My latest book, coming soon. How do you defend a people? How many broken promises does it take? This is what Brynhild Von Meiser asks herself when her port is torched by what she thinks are pirates. To buy protection against another raid, Burgravine Brynhild agrees to marry Duke Ivan and start a project with her beloved Karl, but can their combined plans work against hidden bandits? Can a future be secured when chaos reigns in Augston and viol

That may be my biggest problem. My plans are tentative now that I have officially gone wide. The Smashwords summer sale continues for another week, so there is that to remind people of. Check out: Smashwords – The Wolfsburg Adventures I've been wrestling with the genre categories. I think it might better describe my books to call them Alternative Universe Mysteries. Cynically, it might also make my books easier to find. I don't know if that will help matters, so I tried addin

And all my books will be available. Do you like ebooks? Do you like ebooks from indie authors? Do you like them dirt cheap and ready for instant downloads? Then July is the month for you. That's when the biggest sale on Smashwords happens, and books on that website are priced to move. All of my Wolfsburg Adventures are included at the half-off price point. I'll even give a special discount for the first book in the series, "Seed of a Lord." If you were ever mildly curious abo

A council of war is forming at the castle of Bergdorf in the Christmas of 1245. This time, the council is considering war on their own king in support of their emperor, and the most vocal proponent is Eric Von Wolfsburg. He demands his daughter, Brynhild, marry a man who will fight. He also wants her friend Alfred and lover Karl to find out the king's intentions. When a stable boy is found dead, our heroes suspect foul play and fouler futures if they don't discover the truth

FYI: Have Standards I am nearly done with editing my books. Re-editing. Taking out what typos I can and setting them up on D2D so they can be bought on websites other than Amazon. Why bother? Because at some point, the pity well runs dry. People get sick quickly, remarkably quickly, of being asked to fork over for something that is subpar but 'supports the cause' or 'is nice.' It gives me sympathy for the medieval relic sellers. It's easier to finagle money out of people if y
