Order a Book, Support the SiteOrder a Book, Support the Site

I just published my first novel, The Elvis Bird, on Amazon, and Barnes and Noble. It’s a mystery about an ornithologist tracking a presumed extinct bird, the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. If you like mysteries, southern lit, ornithology, or Elvis, you might enjoy it. I created an author site at http://dewoolbright.com. You can find links to the book (paper or Kindle), read a couple of chapters on Amazon, and learn a little bit about Ivory-billed woodpeckers as well. All profits from the sale of the book will be donated to charitable organizations that support birds.

One reason I published it was to learn how it’s done. The next book will be called The Little Blue Assembler Book. It requires a lot more formatting, but I’m working diligently to put it out. So, buy a book, support the site and make an old man happy.
