Authors Love Reviews
It's True! Author's Love Reviews!
Most authors love to get reviews. Especially good reviews.
But even bad reviews are helpful.
Besides the opportunity to learn from mistakes and errors, Amazon counts bad reviews as well as good reviews in the number of reviews for a book.
A higher number of reviews is factored into the book's Amazon rank, though no one outside Amazon's development team

Dictation and Writing
Dictation and Writing
The most talked-about dictation software for authors is Dragon Naturally Speaking.
After reading the reviews, it’s probably the
best available.
I would love to have it, but it’s not quite in the budget. Yet.
With arthritis in my hands and fingers, typing isn’t always
easy.
I write in Microsoft Word which I subscribe to as part of Office 365.

Tala Ridge Alpha Update
Tala Ridge Alpha Update
Since the lockdown started, we've been at home all but three days.
Twice, two weeks apart, we went to purchase groceries. Once, we took a drive just to get out of the house for a bit.
We didn't have the gas to go far, and even with prices low, we didn't want to stop for more. We saw several vehicles on the road but didn't stop anywhere.

Need Low-Cost Entertainment? Consider E-Books!
My Kindle Fire
Need Low-Cost Entertainment?
With businesses and schools closed, reports are that many families are turning to books for entertainment and home education. The major problem with that is the cost.
The cost of a book is largely controlled by the manufacturing process. However, ebooks don't have as many costs as paperbacks, so they could be a better deal right now.

As a former homeschool mom and grandmother, I want to reassure those who are now in this position without planning or desiring to be homeschoolers. It can be done, and it's

Cover Reveal: Wolf's Dragon
I've had to stop writing for a few days to make some minor corrections to previously published books.
By the way, if you ever find spelling or grammatical mistakes in one of my books, I would appreciate hearing about them, so I can fix them. Thanks!
Currently, I am working on two books, Tala Ridge Alpha, a young adult shifter urban fantasy, and Wolf's
