ReBlogging – What’s That All About?
There’s even MORE shit I have to do?

Plus, a lot of the time we have to make choices about what the blurb will say and what the cover needs to look like. Bouncing that stuff off a bunch of Facebook author page friends or Twitter followers or Blog subscribers is a great way to see what the feedback is – and spend...

What I learned by publishing a book. #writing #books #publishing #amwriting
Great post from Gee over at thewritingchimp.com!

Eating Mrs Whitman’s neighbouring prized white and violet hydrangeas.
I make a coffee, deciding that whatever I drank last night must’ve been good, like really good. The first caffeine sip and I shudder. The next and, one by one, my muscles stand to attention.
A goose-bumpy cacophony of nasally groans snaps my attention to the living room. Snorey-Corey must’ve stayed over. I flip-flop against the old, pat...

Yours Truly
Written by: Rosemary Wakelin
Jacques found Bernard’s mega-modern penthouse, outfitted with all the latest gear, seriously awesome. “You own all this?” he said, half-expecting a Kardashian to stroll in with full entourage in tow.
“Yeah, pretty much,” Bernard said with a half-smile.
Jacques headed straight for the ginormous curved television screen and imagined watching World Cup soccer on it. His reflection stared back, all wide eyes and gaping mouth. “Are you like some famous movie...
