A SOUL Website

Hey everybody, I have been busy with that so tedious but necessary chore and that is Book Marketing, YUK. In that realm, there is the 'getting your own website' and since I am a starving artist (LOL) I opted for the Free one.

CHECK IT OUT and visit the Soul Circle and please SIGN in on the guest book page! Bonnie Lea Elliott {Captive Souls}…

Across the Pond by Storyheart: Feb 25th day 18 of my “Virtual Book Tour” organized and made fun by pumpupyourbookpromosion.com

It does not seem that the month is almost over, it has gone by way to quickly for me, enjoying each stop for an interview, review, radio show or just to say hi to people along the way.

While it’s been about my book letting people all around the world about it, sharing the fun of it and generally putting knowledge of “Across the Pond” out there, I… Continue

United In Hate by Dr. Jamie Glazov -- a review

United In Hate -- The Left's Romance With Tyranny and Terror is a book that examines the seamy underbelly of the radical Left which considers Western society and its values an anathema. Dr. Jamie Glazov, the Managing Editor of FrontPage Magazine, methodically details the causational factors that have lead modern Leftists to adhere to the death and destruction mantra of tyrannical Islamic Jihadists.

The Twin Towers are destroyed, 2973 people die in the attack and the radical Left… Continue

It's Mind "Bloggling"

I recently signed a book contract with Echelon Press Publishing. My legal drama, The Advocate, will be released late this summer or early fall.

Since I now have a book contract for The Advocate, I was told I should start blogging. So this is my first attempt at this incredible new communication system. This stuff still boggles, or should I say "bloggles," my mind. But then I'm still amazed every time I fly, that those gigantic metal birds can stay up in the sky. I'm… Continue

One...word...at...a...time

As I mentioned in my last post, I began writing a new short story to flex my muscles. I don't know about you, dear reader, but I have a heck of a time getting my words down on paper. Maybe not to the degree James Joyce did, he was happy with 7 words a day, but still having difficulty.

The good news is that I do continue slogging away at it, even if I only get a paragraph down. I'm trying to get to know my characters, and it's already led to a few surprises for me in the discovery… Continue
