Visible Links -- looks like a cool way to advertise your book

I've been playing around with http://visibletweets.com today. You can link it up to your tweets and make a nice display for a bookstore or somewhere. Would love to hear from anyone who has used this effectively.

Anyway, go to www.visibletweets.com and type in #sklopfer/civil-rights and I made a display about my book, Who Killed Emmett Till? Not completely sure I've done this right, but it worked.… Continue

(See below) the magnificent services they offer and the Customer Service is quick and spontaneous. For what they do in the industry - "I was treated like I was the only customer."

And so it begins

It would be fair for me to say I'm a little bit clueless right now. Not a feeling I enjoy, as I generally consider myself a fairly smart guy and knowledgeable in more than a few areas. What's more, I've written several novels now, albeit many of them are of questionable quality. Others, not so questionable - they just plain sucked.

But now what? I've had three books accepted for publishing, yet none have come out yet and I'm not convinced that the publisher is going to do much for… Continue

The Power of Publishing for the Social Entrepreneur

Are you combining the passion of a social mission with your innovative but practical business solutions? If so, then you face the ongoing challenge of describing and explaining your vision and strategies. The most versatile and virile/viral medium to tell your story may be in a book.

Don’t scoff and tune out yet! The definition of “book” has radically changed in just the last few years, and its dizzying evolution presents opportunities for the nimble business leader. We may be… Continue

It Is Tempting – But You Must Resist!

Oh, how we love to bash Eve for succumbing to temptation – but don’t we all struggle with that one? Satan does not tempt us in generalities. He is far too clever for that. He likes to pick out something specific to hone in on. Take discontentment, for example. He will tell you that you deserve so much more, or maybe something better, and of course, that one particular thing you don’t have. He just aimed his poison dart at your “pride” and you fell for… Continue

Recently Read - Night Hunter

Hi Everyone, I give this story * * * * * (5 stars)

I recently read this new novel, Night Hunter, and it's fangtastic. Definitely different than many vampire stories I've read. It was written by one of my favorite up-and-coming authors, Laura Shinn and takes a look at what can happen when a sexy male vampire, too lonely to live, meets a human with a loving, kind… Continue

Who has time for negativity? Count me out!

I attended an entrepreneur's meeting today for "entrepreneur supporters" (consultants, etc.) and got so discouraged (disgusted), I took my freebie flash drive, coffee cup and pen and left early.

Why do some people find it necessary to put limits on others?

The speaker kept talking about "youth" and how much better young people are at using the Internet and being entrepreneurial. I say "bull-puckey"! It's so silly to categorize people and it is dehumanizing. I was not in… Continue

Special Dream Nov 4th Intervew on the radio

Yesterday I was interviewed on the radio that will air on Sunday, Nov 8th on a local FM station called WASH FM.

I did and it's one of my favorite stories in the… Continue
