Because eBooks do get judged by their Covers
If you’ve been checking out my eBooks page from time to time, you may have noticed an update to some (okay, most) of my book cover designs. As it turns out, eye-catchy covers do matter. From everything one reads, people do judge an eBook or any book they by online by its cover, and the […]

How does this story end? Escalate
Whether you’re like me and don’t outline your stories or you outline them to the last detail, if you don’t know how your story ends, you have a lot of head-scratching coming. Lately not knowing how my story ends has bothered me a great deal. I think I have that great hook of a beginning, […]
