Now & Forever ABCs (Daren)
14 December 1995

Daren is a tall, handsome, and thoughtful young man. He attended a different local elementary school from Lauren and many of her friends, but he met Sarah during fourth grade and became fast friends with her and during fifth grade he met and became friends with Lauren.
He has attended Immaculate Conception since sixth grade, and as a result has become friends — if not quite as close — with many of Sarah and Lauren’s other friends.
At IC he joined the base...

Do Amazon and Createspace rip off Indie publishers with failure to correctly report sales?
Reblogged from jeanettevaughan:
Guest post by John. R. Clark, Managing Editor at AgeView Press
When AgeView Press Indie pubbed the book FLYING SOLO in May of 2012, the author, Jeanette Vaughan immediately began tracking sales. She heard from excited friends and family who immediately emailed when ordering their copies.The first sales were offof Createspace's e-store with the title ID number given to the author.
Outrageous! Sadly, though I can quite believe it. I don't...
Could someone, please, explain Pinterest to me?!
Not really, so much, the how to use it. That, after several attempts Ialmostthink I sort of might eventually understand on my own. Rather,why Pinterest?!
What is the fascination with that site?
Pretty pictures? I can sort of dig that. I like looking at pretty pictures. I’ve spent many an hour on Google Image Search, Creative Commons Search, and similar. What’s so special about Pinterest?
Tumblr is a bit easier to make sense of — which is a scary thing to say: Tumblr isn’t the most intuitive site...
Romance is not porn.
Reblogged from Love, Lust, and Laptops:
I feel like this should go without saying, right?
And yet, not a day goes by when I don't read some tweet, some article, some inane facebook post by someone who has never even read a romance novel, decrying "mommy porn" or "mummy porn" or "porn for women."
And then, just yesterday, I caught this little forehead smacker on the NPR book blog (hat tip to…
A perfectly wonderful post.
Just as nudity isn't sex, romance isn't either -- a...

How does Amazon work, I wonder
I really must say, the ranking system on Amazon fascinates me in a morbid fashion.
It is, really, the personification of many of the reasons I actually deplore the degree to which digital technology has permeated our society. Only through the advent of complex computers could such Lovecraftian mathematical models and algorithms be achieved on an hourly basis.
Something that has profoundly improved my position on the top 100 lists, or the overall sales rank lists: not selling any copies for near...
Now & Forever ABCs (Bertrice)
22 February 1996
Roman Catholic
Bertrice, better known simply by B, is one of Immaculate Conception’s more notorious gossips. She enjoys having the choicest news first and being the one to tell the dirty little secrets of the school to those who’ll hold still long enough to hear.
She’s a very tiny girl, smaller than Lauren even, and without the musculature with incredibly pale skin due to her insistence on constantly protecting herself from UV rays to somewhat ridiculous ext...

He has a flirtatious side and can be outgo...
Now & Forever ABCs (Allison)
Born 26 November 1995
Zen Buddhist
Allsion is an artist. It’s all she cares about, it’s all she wants to do. She has little to no attention span for academia beyond artistic techniques and history. Actually, Allison tends to have little to no attention span for much of anything except her friend and family, whom she loves deeply, and her adoration of horses and horse riding. She’s a quirky girl with short chestnut hair and a propensity for dressing in whatever she pulls out...
