Research your Target Publisher
Okay... so here is a writers corner blog, targeted to inform, and ask, how a writer learns more about their targeted publisher.
On every publisher's web site there is a section for 'submission guidelines'. Every publisher has a different set of needs when they are looking at new work from a author they haven't worked with before. This isn't news to most of you out there, but are you ever truly stumped because the 'sub guidelines' just don't give enough information?
Most of us know not to...

Top Ramen or Steak?
It's been awhile since I wrote a blog about the business of writing... and today I though I'd give a bit of insight into the life and business of a new author trying to make it in a big sea or books.
Some of you who know me have heard me use the terms - Top Ramen or Steak - For those who don't know me, let me 'splain! LOL
When you first start writing... 'really writing'... which to me means you actually finish a book and go through the effort of editing said manuscript and writing a synopsis an...

~3rd Place~
Before the Moon Rises took 3rd place in the You Gotta Read Video Awards. Congrats to all those who I ran against and with. This is a tight nit community and any time I run for an award against any other author I tend to have mixed emotions about it. Before the Moon Rises can be downloaded HERE - and stay tuned for Richard Ritter's story, Embracing the Wolf, which is hovering in my editors mailbox waiting for a release date. I'll let you know about it as soon as I know.

Coffee Time Reviewed Before the Moon Rises
Yeah... Coffee Time reviewed Before the Moon Rises: Here's what they had to say - 4 Cups
When Janet is propositioned to give the naked man who came into her ER earlier a ride home, every instinct that keeps the intelligent, attractive nurse healthy should tell her to say no. But something in her responds to Max in a very primal way. Considering he is furry when the moon goes full, she has no idea how primal her response really is. Max finds it amusing when he learns that the attractive...
