Three #Gifts I would buy with #Christmas Money.

If I had money to spend as an author what would I do?
First I would make sure I was looking at the right bank account.
Then one thing I would spend money on is a . . .
Book Cover Artist
Sure, I think I could actually make my own book cover. I���m pretty creative, have a good eye. But a really 
great book cover takes time. That time is time I could be using writing or promoting my books or someone else���s books. I can give a book cover artist my basic idea and they will perform their magic and tweak until everything is just right. Of course I have the book cover artist for you.�� Even if I had a lot of money, I wouldn���t spend it carelessly.

The Seventh Day of Christmas – Tess (Teresa) Karlinski meets Agent Bertram — oh boy
Originally posted on Smorgasbord - Variety is the spice of life:
I love Christmas as you have probably gathered over the last few days with my memories and adventures. However there was a time in my life when Christmas was not really a time of celebration, and I had reached a crisis point in the November of 1977 when at age 24, my first marriage of four years tragically fell apart. It is a long time in the past now but I do remember that particular Christmas as being the hardest I had ever faced.
Divorce in those days was still much frowned upon and appearances were very important to my mother particularly. Especially as I was the one walking away. At a distance nearly 40 years later it is easier to see that it takes two people to create a problem, but at the time the hurt was very real and there was little sympathy for those who gave up���

Making Your Own Cover – For Absolute Beginners
Originally posted on Lit World Interviews:
I know that everyone says that we should pay for cover artists and editors, and if we can afford it, I really think that we should. However, that probably makes us hybrid authors ��� who knows? So, in the spirit of the Absolute Indie, slaving away in a garret with a shortage of funds, we should know how to make a decent cover ourselves. Most people have either an iPhone or an Android these days. These phones take amazing pictures, and have all sorts of features from sepia effects to zoom and macro capabilities. No, no. Come out from under the desk my technophobic scribblers. It���s not that hard, and even pics taken with really old dinosaur phones can be manipulated into really cool covers. Let me show you the basics.
I���m going to be using one my favourite programmes for this because it���s very easy to use. So if���

Here is the information found there:
GUEST AUTHOR ARTICLE REQUIREMENTS
Email me��YOUR own��promo article,��NOT��a write-up that can be found elsewhere please.

A Guest Post to introduce yourself to��potential��readers, fans��and friends��is a little more involved than re-using old material that may have already been seen and remembered by them from your own blog or previous interviews, so please make the effort ��� it IS worth it for EVERY blog you post on.

The Fourth Day of Christmas, Carrots, Champagne, Ginger Beer and Hot Guests.
Originally posted on Smorgasbord - Variety is the spice of life:
So here we are all again and it is now day four of the party. I have been looking back over photographs of Christmas past and I came across a gathering we hosted in Tring in 1984 just before David and I left for Houston for two years. It had all happened very quickly. We had moved into our little house in the May when David moved from Liverpool with his job to a new cable television division that had been set up. Unfortunately we had only been there six months when the powers that be shut down the division and made David redundant. A bit of a shock to say the least.
While we were in the process of making plans for the future his previous boss rang and offered David a very different prospect. Two years in Texas responsible for sales for the United States. It was really���
