The Word game and getting it out there.

July 10th. 2016.

 

Marketing, promoting, meeting and lecturing: something of a book week really. I didn’t do any lecturing, except to our puppy. Monday was our CHINDI meeting. There’s always a lot said and done at these meetings, but last Monday was entertaining, watching two of our group trying to “live video chat” between their laptops. It worked after a fashion, but their skills, and ours, need polishing. It’s all to do with live chats with readers on our website…

Talking Craft with Horror Author Patrick C. Greene

As a toddler, Patrick C. Greene was creating horrors in crayon and magic marker upon every available surface. Not surprisingly, he soon discovered comic books and immersed himself in the fantastic worlds found therein. Horror fiction and films came next, and despite spending nights of terror hiding under covers, he always found himself drawn back…

Discouraged… nothing less

There have been a lot of changes to Amazon and how it sells books since I broke from my agent and started on this solo indie adventure.  A few years ago, the process of self-publishing an ebook was much simpler. You wrote a manuscript, edited, formatted, designed a cover, uploaded the file, and poof… it was available for sale all over the world. If the story you wrote was any good you just might have sold a bunch of copies. If you were hard-working and totally…

Make & Do Projects with the Kids

In a culture that often turns to TV to keep children entertained, parents can balk at the idea of doing arts & crafts projects with them. Not because they do not want to, but often they do not know where to begin. It can look like a mammoth task, but usually the main investment required is a little time and some patience. You do not have to possess an artistic flair to try it, you just need to give it a go and I promise, children love it. This article will also be useful for the cool…

From Living in Shambles to Becoming a Published Author and Founder of a Publishing House by C. P. Dunphey

  

    Very often in life, things seem to spin out of control under our noses and before we can even attempt to prevent the damage, our lives are changed forever.  A problem in life, that I feel very often becomes an inspiring element of writing for authors, is the idea of being in control.  I know that nearly every time terrible or life-changing events happened to me, I always streamlined my creativity into writing to exert and project these emotions onto a form of media that I could…

Poem: Moral Regulations

We are not motivated

by a sacred concept

of moral regulations;

the heart’s context

of pleasing The Lord,

presses us… forward.

His Love covers sin

and senses of awkward-

ness that afflict us.

Before Him, we come

to offer our praise,

heartfelt thanksgiving

and lives to essay

a lifestyle of Faith.

As His adopted Children,

we’re to mature, grow

and rise above the din

of this World’s…

Poem: Raised in Glory

It’s important to remember that Death,

has been conquered by Christ’s victory;

though our mortal flesh is perishable,

our spirits will rise and we will see

Him in His exalted radiance, as The Son.

Like Him, we too will be raised in glory;

we will be completely reconciled unto God,

with Christ having no sense of animosity

towards us, regarding His experiences

as our propitiation on Calvary’s Cross.

After all, He submitted to The…

Poem: Let Them See

O Lord, let them see You, in me.

With the Light of Your Presence,

the lost are unknowingly brought

closer to You and Your essence…



for the benefit of their souls.

With the divine manifestation,

of Your Spirit brightly shining,

allow Your message of Salvation



to flow effortlessly… out of me.

Let them see Your Goodness, Mercy,

Joy, Grace, Peace and Gentleness;

caress the souls who are…

Living in the world of make believe

July 2nd. 2016

 

Halfway through the year already and I’m only a third of the way through my latest novel. I had great plans, probably like many writers, and when I see Facebook posts from other writers who are churning out three or four books a year, I wonder where they get the time or stamina from. I am just nudging 30,000 words, which makes the ending seem an awful long way off. I’ve found my story splitting into two parts, but not part one followed by part two. Both halves…

That’s more than some book sites that sell advertising. Yesterday alone 1,350 people clicked on and checked it out. I sincerely appreciate the interest.…
