A Word by Any Definition: If Your Knees Crumble, Call 9-1-1 Pronto
I'm starting a new blog category today. See it over there in the category list? That means I plan to return to this subject in the future. Words are serious stuff, folks. Well, to writers, and lawyers and anyone trying to split hairs in an argument, they are. I am a writer. I am like a perpetually lovesick single, always looking for just the right word and unhappy if I am stuck with the wrong word.
In fifth grade, a teacher asked a group of us how we thought a certain word we had never heard o...

#SampleSunday: A Free Writer's Resource On The New Publishing
Typically, I focus Sample Sunday on chapters of my blog-novel-in-progress. But The Ex-Files is getting edited (this is the way I write novels — draft a big blurp, stop, edit, draft another big blurp; apparently, it's my process). So this time I have a sample for writers that should knock your socks off. If you're a reader, please know The Ex-Files should be back next week — and if you have a writer in your life, tell them about this FREE resource.
The resource in question is one I am very...

Wedding Sale: The Fairy Tale Bride for 99 cents
I bow to the Karmic weight of the universe.
History: The Fairy Tale Bride was listed at 99 cents for a Backlist Ebooks sale just before Christmas, and when the sale was over, I attempted to put the price back to $2.99. Amazon has (typical) kept it at 99 cents and so has B&N (not so typical). iTunes (respectfully typical) changed it when I asked them to.
Background: All e-retailers have an agreement with author/publisher that the book will not be listed elsewhere for lower than the price the...
