I know it has been a while since I had the time to get on Book Marketing Network. The site is rough on my dial-up connection, and now there's that stupid Macromedia player on every page that really jams me up!
For everyone interested, I have written a new short story and posted it for everyone to read at Author's Den.
Change You Can Believe In
It is a tale of the future, 40 years from…

Aloha Everyone!
I've recently returned from a book signing tour and long-overdue family visit. Once returned home, I found orders for more books in the mail and have been joyfully handling that big job of autographing, packing and shipping. Had hoped to be back on TWB soon. However, I am now preparing to leave for another trip - to Honolulu for at least a week. That should be my last trip of the year. From then on, I've got two books that need a final run-thru before publishing. I've…

Sending out press releases concerning your writing and book are key to successfully promoting it to a wider audience. You can write a press release about anything that is newsworthy: the release of your book, a book signing, its release in a different format, reprinting your book, etc. The key is to make it newsworthy. Once you have your press release, send it out over the various press release wires. I've put together a list of press release sites that all have free options so you don't have…

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who dropped by at the Utamaro Revealed book signing on Saturday. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to Sarah and Annie Bavin, of the Willow Tree in Weston-super-Mare, for making me feel so welcome. It was a splendid day and I had a great time. It was lovely to have the signing at a venue where creativity is so actively encouraged and nurtured, and to take part in such lively discussion.

It's a very simple one, and it's in Dutch. I'm from the Netherlands, 37 years old and i wrote a book about selfpublishing. I'm used to visiting American forums about writing. They are more numerous and way more informative than our writerssites.
Could you do me a favor? Could you comment/view my trailer?

Ok. I confess. That was a mean tease. I'd never torture dogs.
Unless you count making them look ridiculous.
If you could use a laugh (and anyone with a 401K these days definitely can!) pop over to my
MySpace and enjoy a slideshow of my beloved dogs in pirate costumes. If you have some funny pet costumes to share, please send them to me and I'll add them to the…

Hey Family,
Out here trying to get my marketing hustle on. I did two interview today with radio stations on opposite ends of the country. A college radio station contacted me from New Jersey and the other your about to listen too is from California. I am trying to get folks from all walks of life to support my book as well as showing what the Lord has done in my life.
"A Man In Transition" is more than a poetry…

JUST A FOUR LETTER WORD
Just a four letter word with powerful meaning
Something to hang onto when there is no rope left
Nothing tangible, nothing you can touch
Yet we cling to it, some for dear life
REALLY!
HOPE, the little four letter word
It has kept many holding on to it,
When there was no reason to trust its magic,
Nor its ability to keep them from falling
Can’t imagine the…
