Fan Friday���Books on the Shelves
A��few weeks ago, I listed some of my favorite authors; while their books are tucked here and there on my shelves, I thought you might want to know what else is lurking around the office���and living room. Looking straight out across my desk, I have two bookcases. They���re practically antiques: cheap, put-it-together-yourself from a discount […]

Writer Wednesday���Short List
Yeah, kind of in a galaxy far, far away. It sure seems like it! So a long, long time ago���three years this month, actually���I���d just come off a long-time writing gig for non-fiction, Internet only (okay, mostly) and had started writing my first novel, REDUCED. I had author friends, thanks to the bookstore, and writer […]

Writer Wednesday���Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire
I��really hate to be lied about. Some people believe that their words, all their words, are protected speech. They think they can say whatever they want and there will be no consequences. They are wrong. One of our authors at RHP claims to have been ���fired��� for ���asking a question.��� She���s spreading it all over […]

Prep Monday���To Jinx or Not to Jinx
Well. We found another property���we���ve been looking since September, so almost six months. We���ve put in offers on two places; the first was a cluster from the get-go, and we ended up being the back-up contract, and it looks like it���s a no-go. The second place received five offers the same day, including ours, and […]

Fan Friday���The Reduced Series
I don���t often blog about my book series, REDUCED, because, well, you know how that goes. Besides, they���re all listed down the sidebar here���������������-> But just in case you missed all that, and you want more info, I���ll lay it out all nice and neat. And of course, if you���ve read them, feel free to […]

Fan Friday���The Tribe
So I have this Tribe. It���s a street team, sorta kinda. Here���s what you have to do to be a part of it: Sign up! Talk about my books���online and in person! Tell your local bookstores and other venues about my books���and see if they want me to come visit! Hand out���anonymously, if you���d prefer���swag […]

Writer Wednesday���Marketing Results
Last week, I gave you a list of possible sites to market your book, and now, as promised, I���m going to tell you what happened: I submitted REDUCED to Kindle Books and Tips and was told that my book would be blasted at 9:00 a.m. on Friday; it was. It went live on their blog […]
