Almost September which means summer of 2014 is gradually coming to a close. I had so much planned, but it’s flown by. I didn’t read many books on my reading list. I might have been too ambitious, but not to worry because they’ll simply become part of my fall list. One of the things I’d…

Monday Writing Prompts-Rain
Here’s this week’s writing prompt photo. Have fun and happy writing.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-More Projects Finished
Despite it being sort of a laid back week, it’s been a productive one too. I’ve turned two of my now retired workshop topics into books. Almost done with those. I even got the images chosen and book covers created. I’ll be debuting those soon. I also got the first draft of my WIP completed and hope to…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Indoor Writing Weather
Today’s the hottest one so far this summer. I promised myself I’d spend time indoors (in the luxury of air-conditioning), writing, but alas it didn’t happen. Since childhood I’ve been a Manchester United fan and their Saturday game was brought forward to Friday evening, which was mid-afternoon where I’m at. I know I should have been…
My First Journey in Self-Publishing Fiction
Most of you know for the last year or so I’ve been self-publishing my non-fiction books, but recently ventured into fiction too. I got my feet wet by re-releasing a title when the rights were returned to me. In the next few months more of my book contracts expire which means I’ll be doing more…

Summer Reading List-Book 5
It’s already August, half the summer’s gone and I hoped I would have read more books on my reading list by now.However, I’ve been reviewing books too so it’s slowed my progress. I’m now reading book five on the list, and it’s Resistance by Anita Shreve. You might remember her book and movie, The Pilot’s Wife, but I…
Three New Imprints from Totally Entwined
A couple of my first titles were published by Totally Bound so I was excited to hear that they’re expanding and adding new lines. I thought it would be fun to chat with them and find out exactly what they’re looking for. I’m hoping some of you have a manuscript that will find a home with one of these…
