I edit a e-magazine/newsletter called the Fox &Quill (foxandquill.com).  The charter is authors helping authors, and our mantra is to spread the word, your words. So if you have a project, book, or just like to write poems, short stories, and tell the world about the things you've learned as a writer, send me an article.

I post articles each month and the older ones are archived so you or anyone else can read them later. We are four years running, but I still need to get…

I am a big fan of Irene Hannon’s work and I am not going to try to hide it; no, instead I am just going to gush a bit here. On Friday, Sept.9th, I am fortunate to interview her again on my blogtalk show The G-ZONE . I am really looking forward to it. I will put the link below right before the synopsis of the novel. I have a ton of questions for her but if you have any, just email or message me and I will be happy to add them to the list. Better yet, why not call in and ask…

This Saturday is the "A World of Words" In Print book fair in the Barnes & Noble at Cherry Valley Mall in Rockford. Many of our member authors will be participating. Come out and meet and support them between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Have you been keeping an eye on this series? Have you read any of the amazing installments? Did you know that each one has been penned by a different author? Did you know the main character was a Private investigator that is also a werewolf? Did you know that Paul D. Brazill created the series and that Julia Madeleine, Paul Leverone, and now B.R. Stateham have penned installments for it? One last question: if you haven’t read any of the four, WHY NOT?

Lockhart’s Nightmare by Wayne Banton and Stan Williams Smoothie review

Overall rating: A Charming Western Fantasy about Two Lovers on the Run

This book was an unusual find. I found this at a yard sale during the summer out of the largest collection of odd books that ranged from mermaid love stories to alien mummies to pirates in love. I mean I’ve seen many love stories at yard sale with the pretty girls and then the half naked (or entirely naked) perfect men holding them. Yet…

The following article appeared in the Kenton Times on Tuesday June 21,2011. Article was written by Ty Thaxton:

Hi, me again, Trestle Press and some of their authors have put together what I think is one intense giveaway.

What do I mean by that? Well you can follow their blogs, email them, and become their friend on any of the social websites you can find them (Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Reverb, Edgy Christian…

Hello my fellow author;

Are you a blogger or avid reader? I bet you are, and if you are then I would really like to have a discussion with you. Why? Well let me say that we have plenty for you to read and we have many benefits for participating. The fun stuff we do and have done.

Note: BookMarket.com was attacked earlier today by malware and Google has banned access to the site. Be patient. I'm working on fixing it.

I now have to wait for Google, Firefox, et. al. to acknowledge that there is no longer a problem with my website. That takes time. Alas.

Yeah, http://bookmarket.com is up and running again. No malware. Wow, that took about 12 hours to fix. But now all good to go.
