about me

I’m a writer these days, best described as a constant work-in-progress. Before that – who cares.

I uploaded my first book, Merchants of Terror, in May 2009 and after receiving 336 comments (& ranked 92nd) decided to use the amazing feedback to take a shot at self-publishing through CreateSpace. No bestseller, but what a ride!

My second book, Hard Target, was the beneficiary of all the lessons learned on this site. Coming soon to a bookstore or online outlet near you!

What a ride! "Eccles takes on a controversial subject with the balls required to do it justice and pulls no punches with the plot and its revelations. A vein of love woven through the meaty flesh of the action brings the characters off the page and makes this book one to watch for the discoverer... view book

Based on my read this morning (9:30 PDT), I can assume the writer has made some changes or my idea of pace is different from others more gifted. Great start and well-written. I must return to read more. In the meantime, I will add this wonderful book to my shelf in a few minutes. view book

This is a hoot - and very well written. Forget the kids, I think any adult with a sense of humor and foggy memories of being a kid will love this book. Five stars! view book

Well-written and a fascinating read, but not for the faint of heart. Some of the illustrations are available from Amazon through their inside-the-book option if you are not quite ready to buy the book. view book
