Next stop: The World Is My Oyster

[image error]
A quick note before we turn the knobs on the wormhole controls and set our coordinates to Lydia Kang's blog The World Is My Oyster for stop number eight of the Grand OPENING Tour. And what better topic to cover than When Good Research Goes Bad.

As of yesterday, OPENING is now available in 6 X 9 paperback for $12.95 at Amazon. It feels great to have two physical books to sell as well as the eBook versions for download! Having that second book gives me much better exposure. I'm excited get out...

Sex In Outer Space

Hi everyone, today we welcome Melissa Bradley as guest blogger. In keeping with the astronomy and related scientific themes, Melissa is technically sticking with the program.

I'm keeping with timely topics and breakthroughs in science that could and probably will change how we perceive our place in the universe. Hint: Today's post is not too hot. It's not too cold. It's juuuuuust right.

We are on the cusp of discoveries that even a decade ago seemed impossible. These breakthroughs could put some science fiction...

No Rest For The Weary (Thank God For My Wormhole!)

[image error]
Today I'm posting at Rachna Chhabria's Web site. We're traveling from England to Bangalore, India as we visit Rachna's Scriptorium. And since I'm traveling across the world (no wormholes have been harmed in this Grand OPENING Tour), what better topic for today's post than Going Global. It's vital for any writer's success to consider what they can do regarding developing a cast of diverse characters for their novels AND what they can do to market their books to markets around the world.
