When I made the decision to finally pull down my blog and rewrite it as a children's book, I was faced with a difficult task of finding the right…

I’ve been thinking about hiring Smith Publicity when I’m finished writing IMAGINATION and have spent the last few days researching them and all they do. If I do sign with them it would mean huge exposure by the ways of television and radio interviews. For some authors they have gotten over fifty interviews.

One of my secondary characters is a Marc Bolan impersonator. Who, like me, is of the view that we need more Marc Bolan impesonators in fine literature? Who cares about boy wizards and vampires?…

I don’t like coffee. Never have. I prefer tea. So if I go to the supermarket and there is a sale on coffee, I buy tea. And if there is a sweepstakes to win a pound of coffee, I push my cart on by.

So what does this have to do with book marketing you ask? Because when it comes to buying books my habits are very similar to my habits when I am deciding whether to buy the coffee, or the tea. I read in the same genres, over and over again.

As an author, it is important to remember…
