A Cog in the Wheel

useful pieces by dj geribo cover coming summer 2025 webFor those of you out there who just might be paying attention, you'll notice that the changes that I thought were coming to this website (i.e., new look, especially to home page) has not happened yet. Due to my web guy having more on his plate than there are hours in a day, he just hasn't had the time. And I know there are some people who are wondering, well, can't he just 'tweak' it? I know enough about what goes on behind the scene at this point to realize that just 'tweaking' something on a website, never ,ever, takes just minutes. It is always a more major project, particularly the more sophisticated you want a site to look.

Speaking of non-sophisticated sites, I have two new ones that I am now responsible for updating. And yes, they are both for me and feature my writing, but similar to what I just wrote about my web guy, I also want to spend most of my time writing my novels (plus taking care of house stuff - not that I want to do any of that but it does interfere with all the other stuff I really want to do, like writing). 

My new websites are: storyinsix.com and alittleliterature.com. And of course, I would love feedback on both of these. Remember, they are brand new so not a lot of content yet. But like my updated website, changes take time. Thank you for your patience. 

And keep reading!! I hear editing changes are coming to my newest book, "Useful Pieces", due out this summer. Patience is a virtue. 

 

Useful Pieces - Book #9 - Coming Soon!

Published: 01 March 2025

useful pieces by dj geribo cover coming summer 2025 webI'm excited to announce my lastest book, "Useful Pieces" coming soon! We are currently in the editing stages and after a complete read-through and edits, we'll be sending it off for a proof copy which we will go through again one final time. This is a long process but I'm expecting the book to be completed sometime this spring. 

"Useful Pieces" will also soon be available for pre-order. Stay tuned for that announcement!

To give my readers a sample of what's to come, here is the opening to my newest book:

Sean stepped out onto the front porch. Fall was coming; you could always feel it in the air first. He inhaled deep, filling his lungs with the leaf-crisp air. He loved that smell. Decaying leaves he supposed it was; an earthy smell that he couldn’t get enough of. He hoped it wasn’t laced with mold; he could always smell mold in food products. Jill laughed at that because he would open a package of rotten chicken and think it smelled fine. But throw a little mold in there and he wouldn’t touch it. So salmonella ok, mold not ok. Of course he knew neither was good but he guessed his paranoia about mold had something to do with having read too much about it and how it can make you sick and if they are grown in the right conditions, can produce mycotoxins that are poisonous, the worst of which is aflatoxins that cause cancer. So yea, call him paranoid but he had done his research and wanted to steer clear of anything that had the slightest chance of having mold on it.

Join me and other authors at the Dover Library on Saturday, Nov. 2, at 2:15 - 3pm where I and a few others will talk about publishing a book. Since I just published my 8th book, I have had experience that any author could use to help in getting their book completed. Also, my publisher, Jim Fontaine from BBD Publishing, will be there with me and will share his expertise as well. 

Look forward to seeing many of you there!

Book #8 - Heading for the Finish Line

Category: The Latest News
Published: 12 September 2024

It has been a long time coming...well, at least 7 months since I gave my 8th book to my publisher to edit. And now with the editing complete, the cover nearly ready, the book is almost on its way to the printer for a galley copy to, once again, review and edit a final time before we print up copies available for sale. Phew! And then, close on its heels comes book #9, which has been even a longer time coming. That one was written in 2019 during NaNoWriMo - National November Writing Month - and then put on the back burner. But I kept thinking about it and just last year pulled it out and did more editing to finalize it for my publisher. That one will be coming out later this month.

The goal is to get these two books ready so I can start promoting them both. My plan is to have private home book discussion groups where I talk about my books, my writing process, and everything else to do with writing. I understand that most people have a book that they want to write 'someday'. I'm going to convince them that 'someday' is now! We don't know what the future holds so why wait to write your novel, or memoir, or childrens, or non-fiction book. 

If anyone reading this is interested in having a book discussion group or even becoming a member of my "street team" (more about this later - I'm just learning about it), please contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
