Planet of Doom Number #1 on Amazon's Bestsellers in Short Stories (October 6th)

Hey, I just needed to fit this in today. I am a big fan of Stuart Woods, and will admit to having read all his novels, all of them. I saw this was coming out and I figure, why break my streak. I went through this

quickly and laughed almost from beginning to end for many reasons. The title

for one, it should have been Santa Fe Soap Opera or As Stuart Woods Turns. Don’t

miss understand me, I am not hating on it. I think it was just what I needed in

a…

Court Gentry, The Gray Man, Greaney’s main character in the novel, On Target, makes the impossible, possible. Check out the story line of the latest installment in the

series: “Four years ago, Court Gentry was betrayed by his handlers in the CIA.

Check out The Lit Chick's Corner interview with author Cynthia Vespia!

Do I have to? You’ve written and perhaps published your book. You’ve discovered how much time it takes to make even a traditional sales kit look professional. You fought for some local publicity. Now you are asking, do I really have to get into the social media thing, too? I am supposed to tell you “yes.” But the honest answer is “maybe.”

To find out if you should commit your precious time to building your social media presence—or if it is more likely to be a…

Hello again, I am back and I think that I am finally on track. Thanks to all the kind people that sent me messages and made comments on my first post. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to do that, and took

an interest in what I wrote. Museum of Thieves is a Young Adult novel with a

serious over tone to it. It follows the path that Goldie Roth takes in her town

of Jewel. Here is a synopsis that is on the back cover:…

Hello!! I am going to say this right off the bat: If you enjoy or love character driven fiction, a little humor in your reading (okay maybe I should say smart aleck responses and sardonic humor), a good, fun,

mystery and a nice detective novel, then I have just the author for you. I

didn’t know the author existed until one of the nice local librarians pointed

him out to me. I know most of them (the librarians) a long time; they try to

direct me to neat…

eBooks… Fad or Future?

I know I talk about eBooks a lot and I am sure some people are sick and tired of hearing about it, but… I can’t help myself. eBooks are the reason I can write for a living, the reason I can sit here in a local

Starbucks in Nampa Idaho and not really have a job. I laugh every time someone

asks what I do. I think about it and say, “I am semi retired.”…

Critics have called Lane's book "an ingenious romp into the near future" - and he truly weaves a tale that brings the reality of Mars exploration into a believable reality.

Happy Monday to everybody! We are coming into an incredible stretch of novels that seems like a blitzkrieg but basically it is just the precursor to Christmas, go figure. There are seriously good novels being

released this week and Michael Connelly’s The

Reversal leads the way. Harry Bosch, Mickey Haller, and just about

everybody in their little fictional microcosm is involved in some small

capacity. Just…
