My Readers – My Heroes

June 8, 2018June 8, 2018 / Rich / Leave a comment

What will you be reading tonight? Readers navigate a maze of possibilities in order to find just the right, comfortable read. It's rather like selecting a TV show for the evening - the search can take longer than the show. Some readers when settling down with a book for the evening have no such choice … Continue reading My Readers – My Heroes

About Relating To Reviewers

October 17, 2017 / Rich / 1 Comment

Perhaps I should begin by emphasizing that I appreciate all my reviewers immensely (even, or possibly especially the critics). I know the time it takes to assess, formulate, and write one's feelings about a book. A book is a complicated blending of thoughts, actions, and emotions, many of which often conflict. Reviews are not judgments; … Continue reading About Relating To Reviewers

Can You Maintain Your Identity As A Writer?

September 29, 2016 / Rich / 1 Comment

It's all right there––in your head. Your dream project, your book. You know what you will say in it, you know what it will look like. You begin to write, it grows page by page, chapter by chapter. One day it is finished. Soon you will find a way to publish it. But ask yourself: … Continue reading Can You Maintain Your Identity As A Writer?

Are You Reading The Author You Expected?

February 14, 2016 / Rich / Leave a comment

It came to me after reading Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code first, his preceding novel Angels and Demons second––this awareness of author growth. I found both books enormously entertaining, yet the greater sophistication of the former in contrast to the latter was clear. I suppose I had not previously thought in terms of author … Continue reading Are You Reading The Author You Expected?

An Editor For You

February 15, 2015 / Rich / 1 Comment

There is a lot of talk about self publishing. Everyone in the business of books has an eye on the trends. A less noticed trend is the growth, and the individualization of editing. Readers have expected, and in many cases found, flaws in self published books. An inexperienced writer often does not realize how many … Continue reading An Editor For You

The New Editing Conundrum

November 4, 2014 / Rich / Leave a comment

Like most writers, I am excited about the advances in digital publishing. In past columns I have detailed the many advantages we currently experience and those we anticipate in the future. There are, however, some less delightful aspects of the new Indie Publishing revolution, as I have discovered recently. This article is not about those … Continue reading The New Editing Conundrum

Do You Really Need An Editor

August 20, 2014 / Rich / Leave a comment

Editors are engaged in a task which never ends. No work is ever complete, no manuscript ever reaches perfection. I know this, because when I review my own work, there is always something I need to change. Certainly every writer should seek different perspectives on his/her work. Everyone is subject to their own brain orientation, … Continue reading Do You Really Need An Editor

The Other

good read .. being Dine and knowing the area made for an enjoyable read and have already started the 2nd in series of this book .. good job (APD on Amazon)

Mestaclocan:

I love the way this writer thinks, the powerful way his story brings you in and makes it impossible to put the book down. I've always been a murder mystery nut but R Lawson Gamble certainly leaves me wanting more Tolliver and Eagle Feather adventures. (DB on Amazon)

The Other

Hunters find the the body of a young blond white child on a Indian reservation. ZackTolliver an FBI agent is called in to investigate the situation. He believes she was murdered and left there to be found. Zack sets out tracking bear tracks that suddenly become human bare feet. This is a wonderful tale of this agent and his Indian friend Eagle Feather. Jake does not believe in Skinwalkers but he will become a believer. Great story, masterfully written.

Zaca

I bought all three of your books when you were at Bedford Winery in June. I just finished Zaca. I loved it! I started it on Wednesday on my commute to work and just finished. I could not put it down. Every spare moment I had these last few days my nose was in this book. I can't wait to read the other two! Thank you so much! You definitely have the talent to engage the reader with your story telling. I am definitely a fan! SG

"It’s not often that I don’t have any idea about what is really going on, but this one did surprise me. Well written, with unexpected twists in the plot. I’d recommend it as a great read!" Brawley, CA (December 2014)

The Other

"Your characters are so real that I feel like I know them personally. You took me with you to actually witness the events taking place. .." LC

"A very interesting story blending tribal lore, behavioral science, adventure and a hint of romance. I found it hard to put down. I live in Arizona and ..." Sadie McC.

"A great read that keeps you guessing right up until the end. Excellent characters and storyline..." BobGBob

"One of the best books I have read in a long time. I started reading it last night, slept a couple hours and had it finished today because I was that anxious to find out the ending. Fantastic story!!..." C C

"There aren't enough stars to rate this book high enough in my opinion. I can't believe no one has bought the rights to the book too make movie from it..." Mike Paxton

"Excellent well written and edited...The Other is a super read! It flows fast and smoothly, has a likable lineup of characters and a storyline that draws the reader into its fascinating and eerie world..." SS

"Rich, LOVED the book! Great characters, and your writing created rich, vivid visuals...!" JM
