Downton Abbey dreams

This PBS series has been on for a short while, three seasons, which I presume is a measure of some success. So, having recently, discovered that series, and having missed the presvious seasons one and two, we went about getting the DVDs for those first two seasons. After watching the entire first season, went to bed and I dreamt of being an English bloke in some farcical situation, as dreams go. The next night we watched part of the second season and for the second evening in a row, I…

The Devil's in the Details

Writing a series can be a challenge. When you're writing the second or third book, it can be difficult to keep track of all the details you’ve already written in the first book. As G. Thomas Gill commented on one of my recent posts, Stand Alone vs. Series Novels, “to remember each and every little detail about your character, like what he drinks, the color car she drives, or his detest of Thai…

Writing To The Finish Line

Writing is challenging. It can keep you from sleeping, eating, and being around people. It can cause you more stress than you can imagine when all you're trying to do is produce a story which you love, and believe others will feel the same toward. You see, when you're not writing just to please yourself, an audience of one, but to sell your story to the literary marketplace, it can quickly become one of the hardest actions you'll ever do. You must be completely excited about the…

The Help Is a How-To Book

Aibileen is my favorite character in the best-selling novel, The Help, because she is a high IQ single mother who loves writing and succeeds in it against dire odds. She may even be able to help her son, Treelor, achieve his literary ambitions posthumously.

Author Kathryn Stockett starts off by leading the reader to think Aibileen is something else completely. However, the very powerful underlying theme of liberty and its close ties to literacy breaks through.

In The Help, a…

What will happen?

Tomorrow begins my much anticipated Kindle Nation Daily sponsorship for AFTER. I bought this sponsorship nearly three months ago before the whole KND frenzy began. Since then, they have incorporated a new sponsorship ad page that makes it much easier for authors to sponsor. http://indie.kindlenationdaily.com/?page_id=642 The benefits of sponsorship are many, including the possibility of the book going viral and thousands of copies…

Learning How To Tweet

Before last week, I hardly knew what twitter was. But everywhere my fellow authors were posting about tweeting. I admit that while I signed up for a twitter account on my own, I had to enlist my seventeen year old son to actually understand how to do it. He taught me how to hashtag (I didn't know, for example, that you don't space between the words in a hashtag.).But we were both surprised how many suggestive women starting following. (Perhaps they think The Time Of My Life refers to…

Memoirs Of An Invisible Man By H.F. Saint

Memoirs Of An Invisible Man By H.F. Saint

I get my books from odd places. Garage sales, give a ways, bargain bins, and sometimes out of trash can at my friends house. (He has no tastes in books and often throw good ones away) I grab books that seem interesting, providing an new concept or have tons of potential. I prefer not to join the waves of current fans of big writers stalking their every move. I mean, these guys that no one hears of are sometimes better than JK Rowling, or…
