Suprise Novelist
Another one of my “virtual” friends (someone I got to know through Twitter) had me over for a visit today. Actually, she invited me to guest blog about how I got started writing. Here’s what I told her: Thank you, … Continue reading
Books Abroad
Today, I mailed out signed copies of The Darcys of Pemberley to the winners of the book give-aways associated with three different guest blogs spots I’ve done recently. The books are now winging their way – no, scratch that (I was … Continue reading

I Came; I Saw; I Formatted
Victory! After about three days of concerted effort, and mind-numbing frustration, I think (fingers crossed) I’ve managed to get The Darcys of Pemberley formatted for CreateSpace, the print-on-demand arm of the Amazon publishing machine. It shouldn’t have been difficult. After all, a template … Continue reading
Do You Want That Shaken or Stirred?
First, let me observe that people have vastly different tolerances for the level of danger, tension, pain, and suspense they are willing/able to tolerate, whether we’re talking about the activities they enjoy or the books and movies they prefer. Adrenalin junkies aren’t satisfied … Continue reading
