Are You Ready For "Turn,Turn, Turn" ?

The department is an umbrella for 22 other agencies which were pulled into the new department.

Allow me to tease

Those who follow my blog and my other posts on the numerous writer’s sites that I belong to, know that I am on vacation. So, instead of boring you with details of the fried Grouper sandwich I had for lunch and the long, saltwater swim I took after (waiting thirty minutes of course), I’m going to post a long sample of my current best selling book, DROP OUT. I’ve received more than a hundred emails from people telling me how much the book affected them and their views on the meaning of life.…

Say Hello To William Tasch, Author of "Outlaw Salvation"

Hello Everyone,

 

     When I was asked to write a guest post, I thought to myself, what would anyone want to know about me? Would they want to know how I came up with a story for a book? Would they want to know about my home life? Maybe they would just want to know what my life is like. I really couldn’t come up with a direct answer of what anyone would want to know about me, so I decided I’d give a little bit of it all.

 

     Well, the first thing I would say…

History Lover? L.W. Rondeau Explains

“Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.”

George Bernard Shaw

 

I love history and am a museum freak. Then why don’t I write historical novels though I enjoy reading them?

 

Maybe someday I will. For now, I enjoy blending history into my novels. In my first book,…

Enjoying the moment

At this very moment, I am sitting on a veranda in Summerland Key Florida staring out at a vast expanse of glacial-clear, maroon-colored, water while whispering palm fronds provides the backdrop to seagull cries, and yet I cannot write. Well, that’s not exactly true because I am writing this, but I can’t seem to concentrate on my current novel. Perhaps, I’m too relaxed? Too contented? With the knowledge that my books are selling, I no longer feel that intense pressure to create for hours on…

Son of Gumshoe by Nike Chillemi

When I met the living and breathing Detective Sam Spade of the NYPD, in one of the local precincts in the outer boroughs (meaning NOT Manhattan), I had to force myself not to giggle. A million thoughts ran through my mind. Were his parents fans of detective stories? With a moniker like that, how odd that he chose police work as his profession and became a detective. He…

From Paperback to Kindle: Five Problems & Five Solutions



When I decided to publish my paperback book as a shorter Kindle with a new theme I had a lot to learn. Luckily, I found places to go to solve my problems, and I didn’t even go broke.

Problem # 1

I thought I could upload a PDF created in Open Office and it would be as good as using Microsoft Word. That was how I self-published my paperback in 2008 and, for all I knew, Amazon Digital Services had used the same PDF without…

As we head into General Election campaign mode with Mitt Romney driving toward becoming the Republican nominee, something which is unsurprisingly hitting the headlines fast and furious is discussions over his religious beliefs. Here’s my question: Should they really matter?

South African Audio Books – How doing voice overs in London prompted a South African start-up

I am a professional voice over artist currently living in Centurion, South Africa. I studied Performing Arts in Pretoria and then swiftly jetted off to London, where I lived for 8 years. I gained experience in the British voice over field but also did some theatre performances, created a one-woman show and collaborated with other UK actors.

 

My time in London provided me with so much insight into what makes me South African. It also gave me a valuable gift: it yielded the…
