Letter From a Happy Reader

Hello, Milli!



I stumbled on to your website after running a Google search for writing. I wasn't entirely sure what regarding "writing" I wanted, besides some HELP. What I found on your site was just—WOW. I had asked for a drink of water and I got a flood!



I read EVERYTHING. Then, I jumped on to Amazon.com to buy your book. I've read other books on writing, and they all have their good qualities. One mantra that was consistent across texts was "just keep writing, keep at… Continue

I Don't Understand my Husband

I Don’t Understand My Husband

The lyrics to the old Village People song, "Macho Man" echo in my head. But that’s not my husband. He’s not a macho man; nor did he fulfill my dreams of me marrying a muscular-bound hunk who, with one wink would melt me to nothing.



Instead, I married a man I cannot understand. If you were to peek into our family room, you’d find my husband, Gene, on the recliner with a bowl of chocolate ice cream balancing on his slightly protruding belly, pausing… Continue

Good Times and Bad Times - a SC Book Festival review

Book festivals are fun - you get to meet new authors and some more familiar ones alike. You get to renew friendships and acquaintances from other areas of the writing life. I was a volunteer at the SC Book Festival for the fourth year in a row. I had a blast, save my horror story. So long story but overall, the book festival was another success.



(This is posted in two parts on my regular blog - http://elysabethsstories.blogspot.com)



The SC Book Festival was this past… Continue

Ingham for Representative:

It has been many months since I've had the time to visit Book Marketing Network, and in that time much has happened. Last December, after much consideration, I decided it was time that I took my common sense ideas to the arena of public ideas. I decided to run for Represenative to the Maine Legislature, and thus far it has been a mixed experience.



When I first announced, people were very excited to hear than a normal guy was finally going to run for an elected office, someone who… Continue

Creative Promotional Tip for Branding Your Book



Those of us who write books love books. Am I right? When someone asks you what book is on your nightstand do you try to not laugh because it's more a question of how many stacks you are trying to balance?



But for many people, the idea of reading a book is great effort. They have to be really "into" the book to finish it (not like myself who is determined to finish it regardless). Most people read a chapter or two and if it's not working… Continue

Treasure Hunt for Books!

I’ve just discovered the neatest idea in a website, so I just had to share my findings with you. The website is called www.bookcrossing.com and it’s all about sharing books on a worldwide scale in the form of a treasure hunt! Maybe its concept is what had me hooked from the beginning—appealing to the little kid in me who used to send messages wrapped in taped-up envelopes and wrapped in plastic sandwich bags to be released into the ocean in hope that… Continue

You probably have no clue...

How your words encourage me. Sometimes I receive kind words about my humble posts; they fuel me to keep on writing and sending messages to lift your day.



Just like Paul traveled from Antioch to Jerusalem and all over Asia, we also travel through cyberspace to each other’s screen to share notes to encourage, to bring a little laughter, inspire one another through rough moments, and even to send a bit of enlightenment drawn from god’s Word.



So thank you to those of you who… Continue

Press release for 'Glastonbury'

Rain Books have sent out the first round of press releases for my forthcoming release 'Glastonbury'. As they are in Canada I'm not familiar with the publications they use over there, but they have sent me a list of newspapers they have sent the release to in the UK, which includes 'The Times'. I'm impressed by the long list of newspapers around the country that they have submitted the release to. This is what they've said about it:
