Print Book Formatting and Disney Christmas

I am posting at the The Insecure Writer’s Support Group today: Print Book Formatting Programs - Which One Should You Use?

And this has been an interesting year for me. I’m back into fiction writing, speaking less, and business stuff has gone in so many new directions. I’m going to have some amazing things to share with you next year.

In the meantime, I’ll just share some amazing pictures from our trip to Disney World two years ago!

It’s time for another edition of The Insecure Writer’s Support Group, founded by Ninja Captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh.

Publisher - Author Responsibilities

If you’re self-publishing, th...

The Insecure Writer's Support Group and Stories with Personality

It’s time for another edition of The Insecure Writer’s Support Group, founded by Ninja Captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh.

I’m still revising my four novelette length stories. I’ve been bouncing back and forth between the vampire and alien ones while still toying with the idea of writing the one about the shark. (Especially since so many of you noted that you’ve never read a paranormal romance story with a shark.)

The Listing Hop - Best Theme Parks

Located in Orlando, I’ve been there twice now and get to go again next year. We’re staying on site with fast passes for all rides. The park boasts two great coasters - Incredible Hulk and Dragon Challenge (which I still call by its original name, Dueling Dragons.) I almos...
