It’s been a hot week…and it’s getting hotter, and it’s also been a busy week. I got rights back to two stories that had appeared in anthologies five years ago. I usually like to give them a rewrite and polish them up some more. Some I like to give a total make-over. It’s amazing how…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-New Book
It’s June and the perfect time to see how well you’re doing with your goals for the year. I’m behind with my fiction but that’s probably because I’m getting rights back to a book a month and getting somewhat swamped with work. At least I managed to get a non-fiction book released and here’s the cover…another one…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Happy Easter
There’s nothing more satisfying than getting another project crossed off your to do list. This week I finally got my rebooted story finished and actually published. Here’s the cover that I also designed myself. Something new I tried with this one was to enroll it in Amazon’s KDP Select. For those of you who don’t…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Classes, Books and More
The first week of April is slowly coming to an end and I hope everyone’s been enjoying the spring like weather that seems to be everywhere. The lighter nights mean I actually feel like sitting at my laptop longer which isn’t a bad thing. This week has been filled with many projects. I’m trying to get my…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Do You Want to Be A Book Reviewer?
Friday greetings. Have any of you thought about becoming a book reviewer? The reason I ask is because the nice folks at Long and Short Reviews are currently looking for more reviewers. I’ve been reviewing for them for eight years and for both authors and readers it’s a win-win situation. While you won’t get paid,…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Wasted Morning
Welcome to March and 60 degree weather is on the horizon. I’m sure there are some of you who live in warm climates, thinking, geez, that’s cold, but believe me, here in the frozen tundra (as I call it), that’s a heatwave especially for early March. Have you ever had a wasted morning? Not wasted on…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Slowly Catching Up
This week has all been about trying to catch up with items on my to do list. I finally got an older story revamped and back on sale. I even created the cover for it and here it is- And another cover I created was that for a short book I wrote about…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Another Week of This and That
Happy Friday everyone. It’s been another week of what I now call this and that. A mixed bag of things I’ve done and achieved. I finally got the print version of How to Write A Romance Novel proofed and it’s now on sale at Amazon. I might add a print Nook version somewhere down the…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-It’s December
NaNoWriMo is over for another year. How did you do? I’m happy to say at least I got my mystery started. Finishing it is on my to do list for next year. Yesterday my new planner arrived in the mail. It’s the first year I’ve bought one in what seems like forever. I chose one where…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-NaNoWriMo Day 18 and Snow
I know it has to happen each year, but after the warm spell I wasn’t ready for snow. Yes we had the first snow of the season today. It started out as rain then the winds picked up and then the white stuff began falling. Today is the 18th one of NaNoWriMo and my tip…
