Tod Goldberg Burn Notice: The Bad Beat

I had the pleasure to interview Tod Goldberg yesterday on my blogtalk radio show The G-ZONE; he was a blast! I will put the link a little further below. Now that being said, I had finished the novel a little bit ago but wanted to wait until I got a chance to listen to him before I put this out. For those of us that have enjoyed this series of novels thus far, I want to say thanks to Tod Goldberg for 5 fun reads. Sadly “The Bad Beat” is his swan song as he moves on to other projects we can…

Avoid POD Marketing Packages Like the Plague They Are

I made the following comment in one of the forums, and then I realized that this is too important to hide in one forum.

Never, ever, buy a publicity or marketing package from a print-on-demand publisher. They know nothing about marketing or publicity. Their packages are generally way too expensive for the results they produce.

Avoid their advertising packages. Avoid their Internet marketing packages. Avoid their publicity packages.

I'd be happy to change my advice if any…

Robert Ford The Curse of The Translucent Monster

WARNING: This is not a kid’s book. Yes, the humor and wit is bent toward adults and this story is just flat out funny. Robert Ford has put together a tongue in cheek barnburner from the synopsis to the last page. He directed me to make a cover that represented a 1950’s old school flav to match his direction. If you have ever seen movies like “Airplane” with Leslie Nielsen, well you could picture him somewhere in here, which is the type of humor Robert Ford has gone after. In my estimation he…

-We have gone well over one hundred titles published, both full length and digital short stories

Poem: Enabling Success

God’s heavenly desires and ways

are much higher than our own.

Spiritual maturity is required

to reach towards His holy throne.



Hidden within the Scriptures

is a common, universal theme –

Application of Biblical principles

is needed to achieve our earthly dreams.



Under guidance of the Spirit,

prophets captured God’s intended plan;

laid out to see was Yahweh’s vision –

for the true success of Man.



The written Word of God

can be…
