My wife, Larisa and I have a special fondness for birds. We enjoy seeing them fly, darting from tree to tree, soaring and wheeling about, riding the wind in joyous freedom.

And it's fun to watch them splash in a puddle or pool of water, bathing themselves and carefully preening their feathers.…

Our president has evoked executive privilege when the testimony of two white house aids had been requested by congress. This seems to be a big issue for many democrats and a lot of republicans in the wake of the scooter levy trail. I also feel that the war that is now going on in Iraq is another reason why the…

It's funny, sometimes the obvious can hit you right in the middle of your face and until someone points it out, you don't really notice it. I was chatting with my writing partner who happens to live in Beijing, China and he mentioned that he was trying to steer business my way. You gotta love that Alan Solomon!

Anyway, he typed in an instant message last night the following:

..."I have a couple of mates that look like they will be interested in your services..."

A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan, in which a man was beaten, robbed and left for dead. She described the situation in vivid detail so her students would catch the drama.



Then she asked the class, "If you saw a person lying on the roadside all wounded and bleeding, what would…

I was able to sleep in a bit today to be over to the luncheon by noon. AWSA held the Golden Scroll Awards. The organization gives awards to publishers, editors, etc. It's a time to visit, eat, worship and hear a speaker as well as honor the awards recipients.

Last year I had the honor of meeting author and speaker Janice Chaffee, as she shared tears with her AWSA sisters over her battle with cancer. Though I had not known her, it was an emotional time last year as it took all…

I went to bed Friday night at about 12 a.m. my time. I couldn't sleep and finally turned on my light and started reading Carol Kent's new book I'd picked up on the freebie book table. All of us bring a stack of books and you give them away and pick up what you want. Well, I had wanted to read Carol's, "A New Kind of…

I always feel like my client's successes are mine. I am so thrilled! My client, Christine Feehan made the #1 spot on NY Times! She's #3 on USA Today!

It was a long, well thought out campaign. We did online, TV and movie theater ads.

We've had a few of our authors picked up for MySpace Books and now our book videos are playing on Barnes and Noble site! Go the www.bn.com and look up Christine Feehan's Safe Harbor or Deborah LeBlanc's Morbid…

Say It Isn’t So

I hope that every one had a wonderful Fourth of July and that it was a really blessed one. I know that there are a lot of things that are going on in this world that can all be attributed to shear ignorance and lack of exposure. No matter how many…

Take a scroll down the page and check out my new pics and new video. I have been hammering away mercilessly through the night setting up file sharing accounts here, there, everywhere and uploading film.

Same with photos. Wanna get noticed? Make a big racket!

Take care everybody!

Why I Love Book Signings by Judi Moreo

My recent book signing at the North Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce Women’s Council turned out to be a wonderful experience. They called it “Wine, Cheese, and a Good Book.”, served wine and cheese and I did a talk on “You Are More Than…

Thirty minutes later and I'm still sitting on the bench. The driver tells me he'll take me to another shuttle. He walks me around a block and points me to the shuttle area. I say, "You think I can push that cart of 150 pounds of luggage okay?" and he smiles and says, "Oh yeah, no problem." I look at him skeptically. I can just see the top bag falling off in the road I have to cross where the shuttles all go by. He says, "How about if I push it across the road?"

He gets it over the…

This is the first time in awhile I've actually had a (working) computer with me while traveling, so I thought I'd share with you a bit about attending ICRS. ICRS used to be called CBA-- Christian Booksellers Association. Now it's the International Christian Retail Show. (Some booksellers aren't particularly thrilled with that but hey, now the Veggie Tales booth is more legitimate for the trade show.)

Last year I was honored to be able to join and attend a 3-day meeting right before…

I made a few interesting discoveries today trying to open up avenues into my targeted markets. It turns out that the American Library Association (ALA) has national, regional, and state conferences all over the

country throughout the year. I am thinking of attending the five in Minnesota

and surrounding states this fall—just to see what can be gained from it. Has

anyone else tried this? If so, I’d love to hear.
