Make an Impact While Blogging for a Living

Wouldn't we all like to have a blog that impacts peoples' lives. We'd love to write 'THE' book that changes the game around, and makes us into something more. Except we have to contend with the rat-race, and nobody really cares about us. To others, we are just another blogger, or just another writer who is out to make a buck.It's true, blogging for a living is about making an impact. However,

Social Networking And Kindle E-books

If you have already published an e-book, the basicpremise is still the same, you need the socialnetworking sites more than ever. You will need to sell your book to the market that you choose to focus on, and ones who will buy your book.

Book Review: The Information Officer

There's a book of historical-fiction I recommend entitled The Information Officer 2009, by Mark Mills. Set during WWII on the island of Malta, a British protectorate just south of Sicily, in the Mediterannean Sea. Leading up to the North African campaign between Rommel and Montgomery in 1942, the German Luftwaffe and Italian Regia Aeronautica were ordered to soften up Malta as a prelude to [image error]

Publishing an E-book

Before you publish an e-book, it is a smart business plan to go to Amazon and do some keyword searches on what is selling, and how people will find your ebook. Ebooks can be published on almost any device, but most authors choose to start with Kindle, because it is the best known.

Most authors are quick to come up with a 'witty' title, only to find there are readers who can not find their book.

Michael Crichton's Timeline, and The Relativity of Time

I'm currently rereading Timeline
, 1999, by the late Michael Crichton, famous for writing Jurassic Park and the Lost World. It's typical of this author, combining interesting scientific speculation and well-researched history, with a fast-paced plot and imperiled characters. As with many of his other books, this was made into a movie Timeline (2003)starring the late Paul Walker- of The Fast and

On Immunity, Eula Bliss, or the Invasion of the Microbes

If you're in the mood to read something completely different, then I strongly recommend On Immunity: An Inoculation, 2014, by Eula Biss- the of the major books which Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook has chosen as one of his book club books. She is also a teacher at Northwestern University, and lives in Chicago, Illinois, which gives her an excellent view point on vaccination in America. This book is[image error]

The Labyrinth Approach To Writing

True Success is a Labyrinth.



It takes action. It takes logic. it takes perseverance. And
it takes courage.







Granted, my experience with labyrinths is pretty much
restricted to a yearly corn maze adventure around Halloween and enjoying some
James Dashner, and his book The Maze Runner
on a cold wintery day, but from what I do know, there are a couple hypotheses I can make.
