March 6-13 -- Read An E-Book Week!

I had no idea there was such a thing as a "Read an E-Book Week", but given that we have days to celebrate everything under the sun, it doesn't sound like a bad idea after all.



In fact, I think it is the perfect opportunity for new authors to get the proverbial foot in the door and introduce their books. Many people are scared to buy books from authors they haven't read before, and who can blame them?  We all agree that $10 to $20 are a lot of money to spend on a book you know nothing… Continue

To improve your life you must stay in the moment.

“Everything is the result of something else. To have, what you have not; you must do, what you do not.”-Zor

Like most of Zor’s advice, the quote mentioned above is simple enough to understand yet extremely difficult to apply.  The problem lies in the basic structure of our minds, for it is the mind which controls our actions.

The mind is divided into two parts, the conscious and the subconscious.  Our conscious mind has three primary functions.  First it recognizes and…

Blood boiling blog post....

As you may or may not know, I'm fanatical about historical romance - which is ironic really because I'm an independant working mother and have the sort of freedom that a Georgian or Victorian married woman could only dream of!

My new blog post "More Power by Tears" looks at the blood boiling attitude of men to women within marriage in the past...…

Guest Post Tom Sumner author of All I Wanted Was A Haircut!

 

People say that things happen for a reason.  That may be true.  But in my life things seem to happen with very little rhyme or reason. And certainly no plan.

 

I used to be married, kind of a lot.  If I total the years I spent married it's 21 years and not all of it was marital blech.  But I'm now happily single, so it goes without saying that for all of my marriages there have been an equal number of divorces.

 

During one of my divorces I discovered…

Memphis recap

After three grueling days on my feet, driving 8 hours round trip to Memphis, I finally can make an assessment of the Midsouth Homeschool Convention. To begin, the people at Great Homeschool Conventions are very well organized and professional. The convention ran smoothly, despite the bad weather outside. At the Cook Convention Center, the Marriott Hotel takes care of concessions and present their food just as they do at any top-notch buffet. All the servers wore vest and tie, silver covered…

Preston/Child Gideon's Sword

Sincerely, this is my first read of this dynamic duo. Go ahead and chuckle at my expense, I understand. Interesting plotline in Gideon’s Sword:  A family wronged and father framed by a government employee to cover his tracks as many people die heinous deaths for no reason other than the government employee’s stupidity and arrogance. Original and thought provoking, I mean the way they went about it, the narrative, not the over used and tired plotline, hahaha, gotcha. Really though, let’s…

Self-Published Sunday Elephant Milk Diane Sherry Case

I am going to have to guess that you hear this saying every day. I have used this phrase right here in this very same spot on a different Self-Published Sunday, “don’t judge a book by its cover. Elephant Milk by Diane Sherry Case has a pretty snappy piece of artwork on the cover, but what does it all mean, and what exactly is elephant milk? Okay, check out what is between the covers on this one:

Let's hear it for hot rangas.

In Australia we occasionally have pests.  Yes, I know we have flies by the dozen on a hot day.  I'm talking more your household pest.  It's the dreaded telemarketer.  Do you have these in the States?  These rancid types telephone you uninvited to sell you something you neither want nor need (hey, if I wanted a new mobile telephone plan, I would SEEK ONE OUT MYSELF, okay?).  These people are merely Satan's effluvium.  Do you know why?  Because one rang whilst I was trying to write yesterday! …

Digital short Saturday Brother 'Big Daddy" Abel OPEN MIC

“Brother” Giovanni gets on the board with this one. Confused, I am sure you are.
