Buck: Excellent! Just this morning I found out that my first digital short in the series: Signed , Sealed and Delivered moved up to a tie at number 5 @Smashwords Highest rated and has just gone live at Barnes and Nobles.

I would say that is progress in less…

David Baldacci is one of my top ten favorite authors. I have read his previous nineteen novels, all NYT bestsellers and enjoyed them all to a high degree, so when I got this my fingers were tingling, ready to turn the

pages and enjoy. Here is the synopsis of the novel:’ John Carr, aka Oliver Stone-once the most

skilled assassin his country ever had-stands in Lafayette Park in front of the

White House, perhaps for the last time. The president has personally…

The Three Insights, written by author/speaker, Tim Pond, is a thought-provoking read that's both inspiring and entertaining.

Someone recently dubbed me “Queen of the Christmas Storytellers” which is a stretch at best, but an honor just the same. And it’s true, I have “penned” a few Christmas tales—I think I’m up to about eight or

nine novellas now. Ironically I write these stories in the middle of summer.

Usually in July. I’ll be up in my garret writing studio (which used to get

stinking hot until I put in AC) and I’ll be writing about snow falling and hot

cocoa and pine…

Elitist attitudes toward self-publishing and POD or small press publishing is still rearing it's ugly head. Yes, there are a multitude of writers out there who should take up art or music instead, but they abound in traditional publishing, too. I'm sure many readers have opened a book published by one of the five major publishing houses and closed it after a few pages; badly written, boring, slow, poorly executed plot, editorial errors, ad infinitum, but nonetheless published. On the other…

I have to admit that the cover is what drew me to Christmas at Harrington's. I absolutely love everything about Christmas. The cover depicts a snowy scene in what appears to be the main street in a small town.

The street is decorated for Christmas; there is a beautifully decked out store

window display. Pictured is a woman wearing what looks like a coat Santa might don,

admiring the window display. It's such a warm and inviting scene; I…

The Sobering Truth: What You Don't Know Can Kill You, written by Jeff Herten, M.D., is, indeed, a sobering book - but also an interesting one - about the author's fight for his life through the devastating effects of alcohol addiction. Herten was a highly functional alcoholic during a time period of over 30 years. He drank heavily, yet was perfectly able to get up, go to work and lead a…

I like to be entertained when I read a novel. People read for many reasons; that is mine. Why do I start off like that? Well it seems just because Patterson sells so

many novels he gets some backlash, being numero uno sometimes comes with a cost.

In this case some of it heavy criticism. Is Don’t

Blink a work of art? Is it going to be mentioned…

God VS Science

More times than I can remember people have tried to remove the subject of God from the subject of science. We've been inundated by media, teachers and establishments that the two are exclusive. Well what if they

aren't? What if they are intricately woven together and you couldn't have one

without the other?

The older I get…
