Using Leverage to Efficiently Market Your Books While You Write
Ever since I read my first blog post on Nicholas’s blog, I was hooked. He is open, insightful, helpful and efficient. I’ve mostly focused on building a targeted following on twitter but when I read his post about blogging, I knew that it was time for me to take a step forward with my marketing.
I’m the kind of person that once I decide to do something, I want to do all of it, all at once, and perfect…

Life hasn’t been kind to Kate Charlesworth, and by seventeen she’s had enough. More than enough. The self-harming started out small, just the odd cut here and there. But one day she made a mistake, and cut too deep. She ended up in hospital, and she wants…

The SECOND COVER PREVIEW for “I, Hero – The Beginning” has the lead
As it stands right now more people are favoring the SECOND cover preview over the original one I was going to use
SECOND COVER PREVIEW – I, Hero – The Beginning https://gunderstone.wordpress.com/2015/04/01/second-cover-preview-i-hero-the-beginning/
ORIGINAL COVER PREVIEW – I, Hero – The Beginning https://gunderstone.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/cover-preview-i-hero-the-beginning/
I’m still taking feedback so keep the thoughts / suggestions coming.
I am about half way through the first draft and expect to be finished by the end of April.
At the rate I am going and expecting to go with editing and clean up, this should be available for June via Amazon Kindle
Book Review Day: The Darkness Comes Mini Tour Stop!
Originally posted on JThompson Books:
I was hooked, once again, by the time I was into the first page. I can’t pin point what it is, but Bruce has a writing style that just sucks me in and hold me in his books. I love the story line of the first book in the series, When Shadows Fall, and The Darkness Comes flows like I never took a break from reading. I loved all the same characters in this book and my favorite, Horace, didn’t disappoint.
Who doesn’t love tales that thrill and contain The Mother Goddess and Small Gods? And let’s not forget the prophecy that needs to be fulfilled. I loved following around the Prince and Princess although, I cried thinking Prince Teryk was dead. And I love a good book that can make me a little girly enough to cry. I shivered reading how creepy it was of the Princess meeting the…

Originally born in South East London, I have lived in Kent for most of my life. I’m currently living in the Medway Towns, close to the historic town of Rochester.
A little about your self `ie your education Family life etc
I’m married to David and owned by a rather obnoxious cat called George. George and I have an understanding – I feed him, he won’t bite me. I went to one of the largest schools in the SE which the students likened to a prison with its drab green and brown uniform but it does claim to have a ghost who lived in the library. The White Lady (original, huh?) patrols the top floor, mainly to keep the students from…

I currently live in central Florida, but I grew up in the great state of Texas ;)
A little about your self `ie your education Family life etc
I’m very happily married and live with my husband and our pets. I’ve always been a hopeless romantic with a lot to say, so storytelling became a love of mine very young. In my spare time, I love to read, listen to music, dance, cook and put on concerts in my shower. (The concerts may not sound like much, but by the time I go on, it’s usually standing room only in there ;) )
Fiona: Tell us your latest news?
Right now, I’m working on so many new projects! I have a ton of really exciting things coming up so stay tuned!
Fiona: When and why did you begin writing?

BOOK REVIEW – “Brain Brilliance: The Key to Genius. Learn the Untold Secrets to Unlocking the True Power of Your Memory” by Walter E. Samuelson
Brain Brilliance: The Key to Genius. Learn the Untold Secrets to Unlocking the True Power of Your Memory by Walter E. Samuelson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Great read regarding how memory works and how to keep it working well.
I just finished reading “Brain Brilliance: Unlock the True Untapped Potential of Your Brain” book by Walter E. Samuelson this past week. The reason I picked this book up was because I was searching for a good read on memory retention and from the description and overview it seemed like it was worth a look.
I have the ability to handle many different tasks of differing skill requirements simultaneously (the true meaning of the word “multi-tasking”) but what I have been finding as I have gotten older (basically once I hit 40 and over the past six years to date) is remembering things has become harder and harder for me to do. It seemed that no matter how many times I repeated a date or something that I needed to remember I would still forget it. If I set my keys down in an unusual place in the house (rather than their default location) I wouldn’t be able to find them.
The book is a relatively short read at about 50 pages but it reviews information in topical segments like how memory works, how sleep and diet affect both long and short term memory, and it also give insight on lifestyle choices that can help you improve your memory.
Now that I’m done with the reading material from the book I am looking forward to putting some of the content to use.
The book is packed with good information and it will be something I refer back to time and again in reference manner as I put the practices to use.
