I haven't figured out this site yet, but working on it. I don't know if the blogs are to put about our books, or to write about what we're doing, or are interested in. At any rate, one of my books is called The Choice Is Yours which is aimed at teens about violence and getting into trouble.
I also went up on Tennessee's death row and did a video and DVD with five of the guys who came out to talk to the kids about how they found themselves up on the row.…

John Kremer's newsletter introduced me to the book trailer concept. I worked closely with an excellent designer in NYC called SKW Graphics to create this Flash trailer for my book Something Familiar. I am very pleased with the product, housed at mightykat.net. (I'm trying to post it to the video section.) Make sure your sound is on. Feedback welcome.…

Design = Perception = Communication.
Graphic Design: a combination of words, pictures and concepts
creating visual communication.
THE WORD DESIGN is both a verb and a noun. Thus design is both an
action and a product. Designing is a process organizing the various
aspects of a work—line, space, light and color, texture, pattern,
time and motion—creating a unified communication product. One
can recognize in the finished process of its…

I just discovered an interesting website with lots of activity. It's called Twitter.com, and it is designed to keep friends and other interested parties informed about what you are doing -- especially via cell phone text messages (which you can access either via the website, IM, or your cell phone.
I'm going to use it to let people who become my followers or friends (two categories in Twitter) -- to let them know whenever I update a page on my website. As I Twitter, the… Continue

“Hey, baby,” she purred after switching calls.
“Do you miss me?”
“Of course I do,” he answered.…

Handbook to a Happier Life won an honorary Oscar, last night, for best looking book in a movie. Ok, so I'm kidding about the Oscar but seeing a photo of my book in a movie scene was pretty cool.

I'm still working on finding the time to comment on the movie,
School for Scoundrels, but my first reaction is that if the lead character, Jon Heder applied what I suggested in…

I am excited about my first book. I am truly disappointed in the proofreading and editing. But as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." I am currently working on my second book, but I will seek out a publisher who is in the immediate area. I am just not fond of the internet publishing. I want someone I can talk to and look eye to eye. Check out my book "It Is...What It Is! Move On" by Donna Wells.

In the 20 years that I have been in advertising, oftentimes than not, clients approach me having absolutely no idea how to begin their project nor what is entailed. Having had come from the ‘pre-computer generation’, quality has always been my main concern as well as developing relationships and educating each client. With technology moving so quickly, design firms are truly a ‘dime a dozen’ and the most common question:‘where on earth do I find a firm who will not only deliver what I need but,…
