It’s refreshing to read…

Around the Globe with OPHELIA JULIEN

Finally, we get a little rain try to cool off things around here, but I'm off to the land of cheese with this week's featured author. She gives me directions and soon we're basking in chairs a stone's throw away from Green Bay (the water, not the town) sipping cool refreshments.



1. Who is Ophelia Julien and what makes you the most fascinating person in your city?



I'm still trying to figure out who I am myself! At the moment, I'm a writer/student/grandmother raising a… Continue

Is It Divine Intervention?







Have you ever had moments in your life when you just knew favor was placed upon you?



We are all being watched over. Whether or not you believe in a supreme being, astrology, quantum physics, or any other type of spiritual/non-spiritual theology, everything happens for a reason. In my novel,…

The ball is rolling

 

All set to go with DROP OUT. My format guy has it and I'm preparing to market

and promote. I recently read an article about how an Indie author can make a

living writing ebooks. There actually is a secret and here it is. WRITE A LOT OF

BOOKS! The article said that most authors who are earning a decent living from

their books have at least seven that are available. If you do the numbers it

makes sense. I've sold approximately forty copies of AFTER this month.…

Cody Toye Dribbles the Squirrel Operation Blackmail

Flat out I love this series. I know, the covers right. How hard do you think it is to find pictures of squirrels doing stuff? Remember they are not method actors. Dribbles is but a component to this intense and moving digital short story series put out by Cody “The Toyeman” Toye. The real action behind all this is those being displaced by greedy muck-mucks. Dribbles is but a tool, a foot soldier, in the fight to strike back at the Man. Cody Toye creates a chilling and at times all too real…

Laurie Bowler Guest Post

These days, it's truly an exciting time to be a writer, and I'm enjoying writing as much as I do and then seeing it published.





There are so many reasons why I enjoy writing. At first it was only a hobby and something I decided to do suddenly in November 2009, and now I have found myself developing further with the plots and characters that I create.

Every day is a massive learning curve, reading reviews and hearing readers thoughts and feelings teaches me many…

The Concerts Of My Misspent Youth

I'm a member of a Facebook page that is dedicated to songs, and every day we have a theme and post a song pertaining to that theme.  It's always fun when we have a theme about songs we can't stand!  Today, we posting songs from bands we have seen in concert.  It got me thinking about some concerts I attended many years ago.  My cousin took me to see an Aussie band at a North Sydney nightclub.  I won't say the name of the band, but I will say that they encapsulated to me all that was wrong…

Hello again! Yes I am back from vacation and oh so happy to be back here in the blogosphere.

Okay that cleared up, so there is no misunderstanding, and I am perfectly clear, let’s get ready to rumble. As a side note : yesterday was the first day back on the air with The G-ZONE, my blogtalk radio show,…
