Fun with Self-Promotion. #photoshoot

I like the fact that most of Stephen King’s author photos include him wearing a t-shirt and sometimes a leather jacket.  They don’t always shows his pants, but I assume they are jeans except for the one photo I saw with him in a tux.  He is a good example of what the author business … Continue reading "Fun with Self-Promotion. #photoshoot"

Hopefully that means a better product for the reader, err, listener.  Check out the … Continue reading "It’s Here! #audiobook"

These things mean so much to me. Only, when she’d look for a particular pair, she could only find one shoe or couldn’t find the … Continue reading "Jumble. #RDP"

The brookie, for … Continue reading "Weekend Coffee Share. Back to Normal, My Version of it!"
