For book/ebook authors, publishers, & self-publishers
Well, it's happening again. I've got the cover nearly complete for my new ebook DROP OUT. I'm currently tweaking the pitch for it and I must say, a website called http://www.mywriterscircle.com helped greatly. I posted my summary and got lots of free feedback which was awesome! I can't believe how much time some people took in editing my sample. It was like getting a dozen free edits. I highly recommend that site ansd also the Kindle forums.…

Debut efforts are fun reads for me; I really enjoy them. Sam Lang’s though, is one of the best I have read in a while. Did you get a chance to read his guest post a few days back? I really enjoyed it. For me it showcased his ability to ratchet up the tension as time goes on. I know I am a few steps ahead in this story than you because I have gotten an advanced read on the material, but it is one tense series. As good as the first offering is, the rest of them just keep getting better and…

Happy Monday morning to everybody! I hope that everybody wakes up and punches the day right in the face and gets off to the excellent start that you want. What is the gist of this Monday mornings rant? The Author’s Lab/Collaboration series is. I have been fortunate to receive a number of questions as to what is going on with it and where is it we are going?
Here is what I can tell you right now: The next installment for this week is a truly amazing read from Mark Miller,…

When starting a new novel there are an infinite amount of questions to ask yourself. Other than plot, characters, world building and the like you have to find out what point-of-view you will be leading from. If you're not familiar with POV I suggest you do your homework. In a nutshell it means what voice are you writing in. Are you speaking from the lead characters POV by speaking in his/her voice as you tell their story? Or will it be a narration delivering the story in third-person as you…

Everyone from psychologists to astrologers have tried figuring out what provides that all-wonderful physiological reaction taking place when man and woman meet for the very first time. What turns your skin moist and warm, your eyes dilated and sleepy eyed, and your blood pressure spiking to astronomical levels, surging with lust upon first glance. Many have crashed a car while staring out the window, or even fainted at first sight at their one-in-a-million guy or girl. But, no matter why or…

Spiffy title hunh? Came to me in Church this morning, totally Divine intervention, besides I know by now most don’t think I am smart enough to come up with it on my own, hahaha. What is crawling around in my head on this subject? Pretty simple stuff really. Werner Lind, author of a few vampire stories, has dropped an e-version of his full length novel ,“Lifeblood”. My point is that this title is starting to finally move after laying fallow for so many years as just a…

The short story went into decline when so many of the magazines that supported them died. That is not to say there are not short story magazines around from the prestigious New Yorker and possibly Harper’s to the leading newcomer Amazon for online stories. But in the main the rest of them now cater for science fiction and horror which narrows the horizons for most aspiring short story writers. That said there are a number of online publishers of short stories but few of them pay and for…

When I'm not working as an author, I do paid (!) work as a community care worker. This involves maybe showering an aged or disabled person, or taking somebody shopping, or preparing a meal. Sometimes I take them to another town for 'social support'. I did this on Thursday, drove a guy with a light mental disability to a nearby town to go shopping. I saw a major bookstore (you all know the one, it's had administrators close in) where I had done a book signing some months ago, so I thought…

I've been super busy, and in the midst of it all I created a list on Goodreads.com for anyone to add thier new children's books to. It was super easy to set up the book profile for my new story, and in making the list I was only able to think of about 26 books for it.. So there's plenty of room for more! You can either post the title of your book here, and I'll add it to the list, or set up your own free Goodreads profile,…

Good morning on this nice Saturday morning. Just to recap a few things from the week, this author, Angelique LaFontaine had dropped in a guest post on my blog, Gelati’s Scoop; just go back into the archives and give it a gander. On my blogtalk radio show The G-ZONE we had some really interesting and engaging interviews: John Dedakis, C.P. White, Estavan Vega, Cody Toye, Loree Lough and Laurie Bowler; feel free to go back and give them a…
