I woke up and looked to find the source of the tears but his face was sort of a mystery.

I asked him why was he crying and he said can’t you hear the grieving around yonder it should really break your heart.

Then he said all creation shall come to an end because they corrupted themselves from the very start.

Open your eyes young man can you… Continue

A Simple Time

Here we sit, just like we were kids, only with bigger bodies, watchin' 'Daniel Boone' on TV. It's moments like this that make life such a gift. I accept this gift, cherish it and find tremendous joy in sharing it.

Marketing a book when the Internet brings grief

When you think of what a writer needs to get published, you probably think that they need good writing skills and a good story. What comes as a minor shock to some first-time authors is the fact that a published author also needs strength and resilience and an unlimited reserve of positivity.



The ultimate reality for authors is that it is impossible to write a book that appeals to everyone, so there are going to be some naysayers. In the old days, before the Internet, this might have… Continue

Good Vibrations

Trina L.C. Sonnenberg




Being the luckiest woman alive is no small matter. There are plenty of women out there who have more tangible possessions than I, more education, or higher position; but are they grateful for it? Or, do they take it for granted? Have the trappings of their lives trapped them into complacency? …

Link Problem - New Covey Cover Awards Voting Page

A number of people have contacted me after my previous blog post 'A Late Plea for Votes' to inform me that the link to the New Covey Cover Awards led them to a Biblical site that has nothing to do with the awards. Why this should be so I have no idea and must apologize to those who have gone to the trouble to try and place a vote for my cover of 'The Nemesis Cell' in this month's awards.

I've checked the link myself and teh onformation contained… Continue

Book Covers Sell Books

Be sure to use a professional book cover designer. It can make the difference between meager sales and bestseller sales.

For a list of such designers, see http://www.bookmarket.com/101des.htm. That's a free listing of professional book… Continue
