Popping in to say hi
Reblogged from Debbie's blog: Hello everyone, I thought I'd pop in just to say hi. I was on Amazon today, looking how my book "Debbie" is doing, when I came across a review someone wrote. Wanna see?

The Life and Times of a Struggling Writer
Another great post from RHP intern Melanie Whithaus: As a creative writing student, I am always asked what I want to do with my degree. Well, teaching isn’t an option for me unless it’s at the college level, and working as a journalist has nothing to do with my degree. People assume that when you […]

Ahem – There IS a Third Book…
Those of you are observant may have noticed, here in the sidebar, that I have a third book published. Of course, you may have just skimmed past it as we all tend to do – shoot, even I’ve mostly forgotten about it! And, too, I use the words “book” and “published” rather loosely… “So You […]

INNspiring Breakfasts is a Hit!
Boonville, Missouri B&B owner Kriss Royer has created a very wonderful cookbook – these are all recipes she’s served to her own guests at the High Street Victorian. Based on their reviews, Kriss is certainly doing something right: “The food was top notch…” “…incredible homemade brownies, breakfast, and cinnamon rolls…” “Breakfast was amazing with Kriss’ […]

All on the Same Page Bookstore
Why is our store different from others? Why is every indie bookstore different? Well, there’s the “indie” part, of course; you know what that means. But a lot of other things factor in to the differences between indie bookstores. Some stores offer new books only; some primarily stock used books, and some do a mixture […]

Prep Monday… a Continuation
Last week, I talked about food, water, meds, and storage, so you’re off to a good, basic start. You’ve probably thought of a few other things you might need, too, especially depending on your particular situation. Let’s start with fuel – how, after all, are you going to cook that food you’ve stored if there’s […]

Crime and Home Defense
Reblogged from rmactsc: At any time our normal, peaceful lives can be interrupted by the violent actions of others. You never want to be in a position of helplessness if a violent attack in your home by a criminal is imminent. The defensive use of firearms in properly trained hands goes a long way towards […]
