RHP Book Reviews
I don’t typically officially review our house’s books, because, well – obviously I like them, or I wouldn’t publish them! I do give them a write-up in our local Patch prior to release, but never go on Amazon or Goodreads to post. So here you go: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Just kidding, […]

When You’re Not All on the Same Page
Yeah, I seem to be stuck in pun mode these days. Just couldn’t resist. A lot of people think I’m a prepper. Am I? I write about it – not just in my books, but here too. Remember that post on what we do around here in case SHTF? I’ll get back to that next […]

Survival Journal
Reblogged from rmactsc: If you are anything like me you probably have tons of survival how to books in your library collection at home. While these are great and informative resources; if you need to bug out you're not going to be able to take them all with you. Or if you shelter in place […]

Diary of a workaholic part 2
Reblogged from Charlotte Howard: If you follow my blog (and if you don't - why not?) you'll know that eight days ago I took part in the Mum's race as part of Sports Day and fell with magnificence, resulting in a busted foot. Official diagnosis (after two trips to A&E) is torn soft tissue. But, […]

Progression of a Writer – Melanie Whithaus
As a writer, ironically, one of my biggest fears is writing a novel. There’s so much work and thought that goes into a novel that I find it all to be very overwhelming.

RECYCLED – the Cover
So, today’s the day. I played around with some photos my daughter sent me, of the Chicago skyline, and this is what I came up with: Comments? Thoughts? Here’s my reasoning, before you give me those comments and thoughts: I like order and planning and organization, so I kept with the same “theme” for […]

The Path to Publishing
I don’t claim to be a famous (or infamous) publisher or publicist, but I thought I clue you all in on how this publishing stuff works. I may be repeating myself a bit, so bear with me. First, you send my your manuscript – don’t get all excited, we’re still closed to submissions (other than […]

Author discovery: How are readers going to find your book? Top 5 Ways Readers Find Authors.
Reblogged from Carly Watters, Literary Agent: So much work goes into writing your book, getting an agent, getting it published and then... you wait to see how the public receives it.

Bugging Out: You’re Going Where?
From my good friend and fellow writer, Mike Williams: When the proverbial fan is spreading manure faster than a political speech, the cities, suburbs, and any town larger than three driveways and a tavern will quickly descend into anarchy and no longer be safe places to live. There comes a point when the rule of […]
