At last I got round to revisiting my back-burner ePub project for Gate of Tears. Loading onto Amazon was easy - I did that months ago, but then gave up on the ePub version. Well, this week I cracked it. Then I found that choosing a distributor was a nightmare.

In the end I loaded it onto Lulu.com. It was quick, clean and easy as I'd got it through epubcheck1.2 at long last, before I attempted the Lulu load. It was up and available within 2 hours. Pretty good, given it's only 2 weeks…

Time for another transparent moment from Grace Waters…putting on my seatbelt, check. Checking my rearview mirror, check. Putting on my sunglasses, check. Putting the car in drive and not reverse, check. Ready to go. These last few weeks have been a time of intense contemplation and decision-making. I have been slightly annoyed because it has seemed as if I have reached a decision, then I will get a telephone call, text, etc, which causes me to begin the decision-making process all over…

Been doing the interview thing a lot lately and I think it’s starting to pay off. Not only does my name come up more often in search engines but I’m noticing visits to my blog and website are increasing. Of course, this could also be the result of my article experiment, which I’m waiting for the final stats. Speaking of my Author’s Den website, I recently signed on with GoDaddy to build a website myself that I can update, and let me tell you, it’s not nearly as easy as they claim. I spent…

My books make for great affordable Christmas presents. Three different genres to pick from too.

What Keeps You Up at Night?

People who know me well know that my sleep schedule is, well, somewhat unorthodox. In theory, I know that the body needs its eight hours, and I have the best of intentions when it comes to sleep. I know that I'm at my best for the tasks on my to-do list when my head hits the pillow no later than 10:00 p.m.

Heroes.

We all need them.  In a world filled with bad guys, bad times, and bad memories, heroes are the one set of safety pins that keep us all from going irretrievably insane.

But what about our heroes.  Do we really want the caped figures of a Batman or Superman?  Heroes of unimaginably super powers and incredible durability.  Figures born out…

What Sacrifice Means to Me

“Love. The word felt like a thunderbolt piercing my insides and rendering my heart from my soul. How could I tell him what that word meant to me?
