New Author Advice

New Author

What should you expect? Each genre, every single book and every author will have different experiences. This depends on many, many factors including release date, size and availability of book, experience and preparedness of author, resources and contacts, limitations, location and ingenuity of author.

My first suggestion to you, as a new author, would be to get a great stack of paper, a couple of pens and a thermos of any kind of refreshment you choose. Got all those?… Continue

I'm still here!

Things are finally getting back to normal so, I hope to hear from people once again.

She's finding out that being over 60 isn't the bed of roses she believed it would be. I'll be taking time to do… Continue

Our past is a series of lessons that advance us to higher levels of living and loving. The relationships we entered, stayed in, or ended taught us necessary lessons. Some of us have emerged from the most painful circumstances with strong insights about who we are and what we want. Our mistakes? Necessary. Our… Continue
