My Kindle Books & Gone Fishing

I’ve decided to give Amazon’s Kindle book buyers a try with my Amish books. At first, I didn’t think I wanted to take less royalty. Admittedly, I usually take my time to think about a change. Finally, I decided the people that have a Kindle aren’t buying paperback books anyway so why not give this a try. After all it’s one more way to get people to see my name as an author. Once they try my books, readers usually want another one.

I’d already submitted to Kindle the first of my…

Why Leaving on a Jet Plane?

Why "Leaving on a Jet Plane"?

I have been asked why I use "Leaving on a Jet Plane" as a sign off for my Radio Show "A BOOK AND A CHAT".

To my mind is tells not just about my book "Across the Pond", the act of flying to another country but also the sadness of leaving somebody special and having to fly away. It also tells about me the author "Storyheart"… Continue

Across the Pond - A Review from Malaysia

One of the advantages for modern day writers is the internet where one can share your book to people all around the world without leaving your desk. I have gone into the benefits of "virtual book tours" with companies like "pumpupyourbookpomotion.com". And how the way forward for authors and books has to be by the use of the internet.

TEEN/YA BLOGGERS RULE

Anybody who has listened to my radio/tv broadcasts or read some of my previous blogs will know that I am a great fan of what I call the "small bloggers", that is small is followers not in stature or content.

With Amazon.com, social networking, and literary blogs

connecting writers virtually with readers, it's easy to forget local ways to reach new readers.

In this video interview with New York Round Table Writers' Conference panelist Stephanie Dickinson, the author explained her local approach to promoting "Half Girl"--taking her book to schools in Iowa.

She's not the only writer with a local focus. Authors Bob Burg and John… Continue

Storyhearts Sunday UK Blog - Who Was St George?

During the week I have been blogging about St George's day (April 23rd) back home across the pond. But who was St George?

The image of Saint George, renowned for his defense of all in need, is among the most well-recognized of Christian martyrdom figures. Primarily famous for being the Patron Saint of England (replacing the former patron, Edward the Confessor), George is also known as "Victory Bringer" and "The Quick to Hear." Of the man himself, very little can be… Continue
