Behind the Scenes: Fifteen Minutes of Fame Pt. 3
Reblogged from Author/ Writer Julie Young: When I wrote FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME, I knew that I wanted to create a project that would marry my two passions: music and prose. There was no way I would ever allow FMOF to be "merely" a book. It had to be more and that is what […]

You all have a pretty good idea of what you have and what you’ll need when SHTF, but I put together this handy dandy list of the “little things” that you might not have thought about – and you’ll surely need: Do you have communication devices? Long-range, mid-range, something besides smoke signals? Don’t forget to […]

Spirits of St. Louis: Missouri Ghost Stories
A few months ago, our cover designer came up with an awesome book cover – sadly, it didn’t quite fit with our upcoming title, but then he had a lightbulb moment: let’s do a ghost story anthology! So we put out the call for local ghost stories and got quite a response – well over […]

Bookstore Wednesday for Authors
This week, I have a few tips for all the local and small press authors that we carry in the store. Nope, we don’t have a contract, and we don’t care if you self-published or wrote the book while standing on your head. We have shelf space, we try to read all of your books, […]
