Another glass of Cognac, Tink? Well, but of course.

About Me

I'm a writer, musician and photographer. I live in a motor home in the Missouri Ozarks with my faithful dog, Hero, but we spend a lot of time down in the Arkansas Delta writing and editing my books and pursuing a love interest. (She doesn't run very fast!) I'm am featuring the very best of the very best of blues and bluegrass musicians and authors on this profile in my "Friends" section. When you scroll down there give a listen. We're fortunate to know many of them personally. I like to talk a lot about them in my blog. I'll keep you posted on my writing, too. I am a lifelong horseman and I own and breed two Tennessee Walking Horse stallions. I am promoting 2027, New Madrid, Missouri, my historical novel and I'm re releasing my action adventure novel, The Low January Sun. My sequel to that, Murder at March Commons has been released. The affable Steven Burr is now a franchise. I'm shopping my collection of short stories, The Bower Bird and Other Stories and I'm half finished with a techno-fantasy, Telephoto which I'm afraid that you will want to read with the lights on. I hope you'll buy them and enjoy them. You can find me on Amazon (but don't buy there), Google Books, Barnes and Noble, Borders,Books a Million Mobipocket, heck, even the MTV Store and now Kindle or (preferred) through your local, independent bookseller. You can read a sample of my novels, buy the e-books or buy the soft cover editions. If you would like me to sign your copy, drop me a note. I'd really be flattered.

I'll post up to date information on release dates and book signings in my blog from time to time. My next books are described there now. Here is my author's Website (Clickable Link) to see my work, read excerpts and reviews and, of course, to buy my books. If MySpace won't let me post the link, just head to www.freewebs.com/nuetzel.
