THE MOVIE GAME, September 6, 2013

Here's today's movie game.Remember this movie about a young womanfighting to achieve her dreams in the boxing ring? Kudos if you can remember the film's actor/director, too.   Last week's movie was An Officer and a Gentleman.That's Richard Gere trying to avoid a mud facial, and Louis Gossett, Jr. egging him on.  

New Marketing Plan for Books We Love

FYI, Books We Love, the publisher of my 3 e-books, has decided to sell our older books exclusively with Amazon to take advantage of Amazon's exclusive KDP marketplace with its free days and promotions. New releases will be available through other e-retailers for a three-month period before and after they have been with KDP Select, so readers with other reading devices will still be able to purchase our new books. Books will be priced at an alluring $2.99, or lower. Check out the "Bookstore" tab for links to my novels.

The Twin-Pack short story collections which I have published through Comely Press are still available through most e-retailers. They have a new low price of just $0.99, so check them out (see the "Comely Press" tab for links).

THE MOVIE GAME, August 30, 2013

Well, as August draws to a close, here's today's new movie game.Can you guess the name of this movie?(Looks like somebody is working hard.)
The answer to last week's post was The Sixth Sense, starring a young Haley Joel Osment and Bruce Willis.

New Release!

Tall Tales Twin-Pack, Science Fiction and Fantasy, is now available as an e-book on Smashwords.com and soon to be available through most e-retailers.

"Two short stories in one book, one science fiction and one fantasy.

'Your Daughter is Marrying an Alien' (originally published by Foliate Oak Literary Magazine, November 2011) is set in the year 2080. Simple farmer Lloyd Hodgkin suddenly learns from his wife, Dorothy, that their only child is engaged, and not to the boy-next-door.

'Willimede's Quest' is the story of a young female guard on a quest to find an elixir that will keep her queen alive. Pursued by hunters, she seeks sanctuary at a king's castle, where she must convince him that she is who she says she is. Will the mystical object she possesses be enough to buy her safety?"

If you've enjoyed this short story collection, you'll probably also like Tall Tales Twin-Pack, Mysteries .

Last week's charming movie was French Kiss.
Kevin Kline and Meg Ryan were at the top of their game.
