Going Down Post Regulation
[image error]The header describes my author Mailing List/Newsletter post-GDPR :D.
Well, my Mailing List will continue, but much reduced, and – while I understand IT IS WHAT IT IS, and Quality is better than Quantity, please don’t lecture me on that any more, M/r/s Internet – it may not look or act the same as in the past.
This is a PERSONAL opinion piece, guys. Your mileage – as they say – may vary.
Authors INVEST in their Mailing Lists, and not just financially. We don’t throw them together in careless a...

Pitch IMperfect?! LOL
Wow, that was fun! I found out late last night (here in the UK) that Carina Press were running their annual #carinapitch Tweet Day. Brush up those Elevator Pitches, authors! and pitch to a dozen Carina Editors in the length of a Tweet.
(PSST Subscribe to their blog and you can bookmark it for next year :D.)
Isn’t it a brilliant idea? Maybe a novelty, I know, and not intended to be a substitute for proper, ongoing, submissions procedures, but for me, it was the chance to pitch a story I hope...

Come on over to the latest feature on the BecauseTwoMenAreBetterThanOne blog and find out about the “firsts” from some of your favourite authors.

New serial from Sue Brown at Patreon
[image error]
Are you following this witty serial from the talented author Sue Brown? I’m loving it :).
Are you already one of her fans / do you like one or more of the books she’s written? This serial’s a special treat, only available at the moment through her Patreon group.
Personally speaking, I subscribe to a few Patreon accounts, for authors, bloggers and artists I’m interested in knowing more about, and want to support beyond buying their public work. Obviously none of us have money to waste nowaday...

Numbers are Sexy!?

I’m thrilled to be at RJ Scott’s Feature Friday this week, talking about Accounts For Authors – where it’s not so much about number-crunching as how to take control of your hard-earned money!
Pssst: and alerting those who didn’t know my alter-ego / secret superpower is as an accountant…

For the Left-Behind-ers
I first called this post “Catfish Confession” then thought it may be misleading LOL. So I renamed it the Left-Behind-Ers, for reasons I hope become clear.
You see, I’ve been catfished. I’ve been emotionally manipulated and then dropped / shocked / made to face the horrible and humiliating truth that I was FOOLED.
My sympathy is always with the catfish-ees – those Left Behind. And I want to shout out a HUG to them, to assure you I’ve suffered it and am happy to talk about every humiliating, pa...

PSST: this is also currently the ONLY place you can buy my new version of SAY A LITTLE PRAYER, due to the fact Amazon have blocked it for some undisclosed copyright challenge that I never raised in the first place *grrr*. And if you use...
