Good morning! I'm up! I'm awake! I'm rested and caffeinated! That is a recipe for a very productive day. The giveaway for 'Fin's Magic' officially ended last night. Overall, I call it a success. The book was downloaded quite a bit, and hit best seller lists on Amazon in both the U.S. and overseas. It … Continue reading So close!

Hard Sell vs. Soft Sell
Spent the weekend trying not to let a head cold get beyond a minor annoyance, with marginal success. This tends to make me a little short tempered, no matter how much coffee I have. You've been warned. One of the only guarantees about being published is that you can't force people to buy your books. … Continue reading Hard Sell vs. Soft Sell
The Muse is in the House!
But not the way you're thinking. LOL. We adopted a kitten over the weekend, and her name is Muse. Now, one of my author friends has declared it to be the perfect name, as now I can blame the Muse for not just lack of writing, but spilled drinks, potted plants, broken dishes, etc. The … Continue reading The Muse is in the House!
The Myth of the Book Store Signing
Yes, I know it's Friday. Hush. I got spoiled, so I'm passing it on. LOL. Every author has, at one point, had the same daydream. The one where you're doing a signing at a major bookstore. There you sit, at a small table, looking sharp and having a line of people chatting with you. Some … Continue reading The Myth of the Book Store Signing

A Series of Moments
What drives an author? Is it the belief that publishing a book will lead to instant riches? Fame? Going from obscurity to being the person chatted about at parties? Hearing stories of your friends living vicariously through you? Is it simply that there are stories inside us that must be told? The driving need to … Continue reading A Series of Moments
Why You Need a Public Persona
Happy Monday! At least, I hope it is. It's technically Sunday right now, but this topic came up and wouldn't let me go. So here I sit, on a Sunday evening, writing a post for Monday. I hope I haven't lost anyone yet. This is very important. As authors, we need to create a public … Continue reading Why You Need a Public Persona
On Creating a Persona
I originally posted this to a closed group on FaceBook. Had a few people say I should share it here, so hope you agree! I've heard from a couple of authors now, who have struggled with either marketing or presenting themselves out in the world. It's interesting in that many authors are introverts at heart, … Continue reading On Creating a Persona

I was the one who would go all nuts over the idea of meeting my favorite authors. Respectful, yes, … Continue reading Changing Gears
