Sprinting To Marathon Nigel Bird Guest Post

Writing and athletics. Not things I usually link together.



I was thinking about the different skills used in longer and shorter events - the marathon and the sprint, the novel and the short story.



There aren't many sprinters out there who can turn in a good marathon time and there aren't too many middle-distance runners challenging the 100m world record. They have different muscle strengths and skill sets which mean that it doesn't work to spread the net too…

What I Learned About Online Promotion From Cathy Goodwin and Emilie Wapnick

I have an online history with copywriter Cathy Goodwin. When I self-published my novel “Mrs. Lieutenant” in the spring of 2008, I emailed Cathy, as a “Top 500” Amazon book reviewer, asking if she would review my novel.

 

I thought she might be more likely to say yes because we both had an M.B.A. from Wharton.

 

What she said was no – she didn’t like to review first-time novelists because their books usually weren’t very…

Sugar-Coated Memories of Halloween

It’s the time of year when our thoughts turn to Halloween. I eye candy displays at Target, not only marveling, but delighting, that they have set aside a square of the store to sell confectionery goods….er….Halloween candy.

Oooh………the large amounts of candy I collected All Hallow’s Eve when I was a kid! We were city kids, my brothers and sisters and I. That meant large concentrations of candy within a small…

Michael Tabman new series with Trestle Press “Bad Intent”

I was really pumped to hear that an author with Michael Tabman’s background has signed with Trestle Press to do an incredible series wrapped around the world of FBI undercover work. The work is so real and authentic that before it can even be edited, it must first be vetted by the FBI itself to be sure that nothing of a secret or sensitive nature be released. As a reader that has me amped up. I am looking forward to listening to what he, Michael Tabman, has to say as he is part of the first…

Believe in ghosts?

I work at a country Inn rumored to be

haunted. And I’m not just saying that. The Inn has been

written up in books about haunted places and actual ghost hunters have spent

nights trying to capture on film inhabitants of the great beyond. One of more

frequent questions I get asked by people who know the Inn’s

history is if I have ever seen anything out of the ordinary? Now, I’m at the

Inn late at night, I’ve done inventory in the “haunted” wine cellar at two…

The Little Madeleine by Mrs Robert Henrey

I have just re-read The Little Madeleine by Mrs Robert Henrey which relates the joys and sorrows of Madeleine, a French girl loved by her mother, who earned a living as a talented seamstress, and her father, ‘a picturesque figure from the Midi.’

 

 "Mrs Henrey’s autobiography is the story of her girlhood in Montmartre and the wasteland near the Paris fortifications, or city walls, where the apache wielded his knife.  Her father was a picturesque figure from the midi.  Her…
