When you think your writing can't be improved, pay for an edit of 20-50 pages. That'll show you that it can, and will point the way forward.(less)

Valentine's Promotion on TWO Romances

 For the love of Romance, from 10th until 15th I have stepped price promotions via Amazon UK and Amazon USA on both my Historicals. Beneath The Shining Mountains is set in the region now known as Wyoming and Montana in the USA; the date the early 1800s. For the Apsaroke people, the place is Apsaroke lands; the time, the good years between the coming of the horse and the arrival of land-hungry

This has a good page-turning quality, and a neat use of an opening and closing structure. My frustration was in the lack of depth. The story relied on the action, and when that wasn’t pertinent, on voiced fear, but we learned very little about the me ...more

Much slower than I want it to at the moment. Too many claims on my concentration with other projects. After hassles with multiple publishers and an agent I went indie when the ebook market opened, but its been a big learning curve. There again, what isn't?

People keep asking how much of me there in in Charlie Fox and vice versa. I used to claim it was all made up but they didn't believe me anyway so now I just say it's entirely autobiographical :)

Oh please, tell me about it! Do these people have no imagination? At least you *look* as if you could carry off yours, unlike me - LOL!

Have a good weekend.

Linda
