For book/ebook authors, publishers, & self-publishers
Being in the business that I'm in often means that my colleagues and competitors often promote themselves with the lure of living a very rich life (lots of money, expensive cars, owning McMansions, exotic vacations) in which you work only a few hours per week. In some cases, these wild claims are probably actually true. However, I'm not yet rolling in the dough, so I have to show up at…

Six children and their mother were lashed to a rope, drowning, each dragging the next into watery darkness. Angelic faces, contorted by terror, faded into the cold black abyss. The mother tried desperately to fight the increasingly cutting weight around her waist. Her beautiful dark eyes stared up. Lace-covered arms reached for the surface; her mouth opened, silently pleading to God for help. The…

I had the first draft of my novel written. What next? Obviously I was looking to be published. Now, you need to know my motivation behind all this. Basically I was wanting to leave a legacy for my children. I have to admit I was not the best father in the world as they were growing up and now that I have a good relationship with them I want them to know where their old man is coming from and what I would want to say to them given half a chance.
I know, I know, why don't I take…

Zoinks! My debut epic fantasy novel The Reckoning of Asphodel is now available at Aspen Mountain Press. Wow. I don't even know how to react.
Well, yes I do. I'm grinning a lot.
At any rate, if you want more information about the book, follow this link.
Thanks for sharing my excitement! Cheers!

Today is the first sunny day we've had here in Coal Cracker Country. The temperature is a little cooler and so is the humidity.
The barometric pressure must have been sky high. It pressed against the skin and made me feel like a glass of water oversaturated with sugar. The afternoons were so hot even the air molecules weren't moving.
I am fond of gray days though. They remind me of Ireland where the sun rarely shines in the morning. Such a strange and magical place. It is no…

Even changing them to a different ID and increasing the security level of my passwords didn't prevent the blogs from being hacked and porn dumped on. YIKES.
So - I put my primary blog on wordpress at http://janverhoeffonline.wordpress.com and I'll be posting there - as soon as fair is over and I'm around the computer again.
I shall overcome!!!!

Thanks John for the advice, I accidently deleted your post while trying to read all of it, if you can I saw up to the part on being sure to read chapter's 9 and 12.
By the way I also purchased Bookmarketing 102 and 103, these were excellent.
Thanks

I joined this network and accepted a fair number of new friends and have essentially been silent since. The reason is I am buried.
My job is figuring out how to "stand-up" a publishing company. So I have been up to my eyeballs in studying the industry. Thanks to John Kremer's 1001 Ways to Market Your Books, (10 pages of notes in the first 80 pages of the book) I have learned an incredible amount.
I now know enough to be dangerous...
My initial thoughts,…

My readers often ask, "Are you Gus LeGarde?"
I laugh and tell them, "Hardly. Gus is a much better man than me."
I genuinely mean it when I say it. But is it really true?
When I started writing the LeGarde Mystery series, I planned to base Gus on my father - a wonderful Renaissance man and a talented pianist/music professor. At the time, he'd just passed away from cancer, and I was overwhelmed with grief. The idea of starting the series as a testimony to him was…

O.k., I'll admit it. I didn't set out to write a book. It just kind of, well, fell into my laptop, so to speak. During the summer of 2005, in my quest for
some good natured laughs in the name of tomfoolery I sent off some
inane questions to my brother-in-law about his dust-collecting items he
was auctioning off on eBay. He got a big kick out of reading them and
e-mailed me back to say I should find other eBay auctions and do the
same, to see what…
