Red Clay and Roses: Revised & Edited Eversion Live Now!!!
The paperback print on demand is just around the corner, stay tuned!!!
Excited to share with you that “Red Clay and Roses” is live now, and ready to read/purchase on Amazon and smashwords. Smashwords has epub, mobi and sony, so just about any reader is supported if you don’t have a kindle for Amazon. They also have a pdf version for your computer if you don’t have a reader.
I was getting great reviews but I knew something was not quite right, especially with regards to the first chapter of the book. So I had a copy editor take a look and we worked together for a couple of weeks and got the flow more smooth and the transitions between book sections better adjusted. Line editing was also rechecked and minor corrections made. There is nothing that changes dramatically, but I feel it is a better product now.

New Header for the Community Storyboard!
Reblogged from Dean'z Doodlez:
As most of you guys know, I've recently joined the Community Storyboard!
Well, they have asked for me to make them a header for the blog page, and here it is! It features all Twelve of the CSB Editors (myself included).
I'll tell you this, it wasn't easy fitting twelve people AND the text into the header, but it was fun challenge and I'm glad I did it.
New header with awesome iconic superhero CSB Editors. (compliments of Dean's doodles) That's me! Susan Storm, The Invisible Woman from The Fantastic Four.

History, Visiting National Historical Sites in Atlanta, Georgia
Reblogged from Mary Gilmartin:
The Historical Fire Station No. 6 built-in 1894 was used by the AFD, Atlanta Fire Department, until it closed in 1991. Inside you will find a 1927 LaFrance fire engine on display. This building is located down the street from where Martin Luther King Jr was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1929.
In 1980 the National Historic Site was established to preserve the places where Martin Luther King Jr was born, lived, worked, worshiped and the final resting place of Dr.
Great post showing some very pertinent GA History by the Atlanta author of "Adventures with Easton", Mary Gilmartin

Moses was born in 1907 to a poor sharecropper on the same farm in Walton County, Georgia, that his grandpappy had been born a slave on. Moses, like his father before him, considered himself fortunate to be born a free man.

A Different Kind of Book Review: Red Clay and Roses by S.K. Nicholls
Melissa set the tray of coffee mugs, sugar bowl and creamer on the table, and quickly began to pour the coffee. Her hands shook a bit and she missed Maggie's cup by a hair. Maggie cocked an eyebrow in wonder. Mary was fixing plates of mini-scones and cookies for them to nibble on, oblivious to her cousin's anxiety. This was their first book club meeting, although Melissa wondered if a book club could have as few as three people and still be a club.
1writeway incorporates her book reviews into part of a novel that she is writing for a different kind of book review. Very cleverly done.
