They sell tickets (proceeds go to local non-profits) and the mall is open that evening just to those who have them. Stores offer up huge deals to kick off the holiday shopping season, there's door prize … Continue reading I’ve got a book signing!!!!!

Why authors have to be optimists
Good morning! It's been an interesting day already. Bit of a shuffle this morning...lots of things to do with work, etc. Part of my job includes talking with authors who aren't getting sales. Or, rather, the sales they expected. This problem is more widespread than you might think. I say that only because so many … Continue reading Why authors have to be optimists

Recognizing your own flaws
Good morning! Lots of stuff going on this week in my life. Will not, however, let it totally remove writing time from my schedule. Yes, groceries need to be bought and appointments kept. But I have one with my characters that I can't keep pushing off until 'later'. One of the biggest problems authors have … Continue reading Recognizing your own flaws
The Celebrity Effect
Good morning! Vacation happened. It was fun, relaxing, and we didn't overspend. And my freezer is well stocked with coffee again. LOL. There's something odd about being an author. Some of us actively pursue it, while others shy away from it. It's the idea of authors being celebrities of a sort. Simply telling new acquaintances … Continue reading The Celebrity Effect

Acceptance vs. Approval
Good morning! I'm a little scattered today. Muse the Purrbot is hurt in some way, which makes me unhappy. Trip to the vet is happening in about an hour or so. We don't think it's serious, possibly a pulled muscle or such, but she hissed this weekend. Muse never does that. As authors, we tend … Continue reading Acceptance vs. Approval
When the heat is on
Good morning, everyone! I've got a confession to make. I haven't written my 500 words for a good week. It's been too hot. Yes, I know it's a relative term. This area doesn't see the blistering temperatures other parts of the U.S. do, but we've been warm. And, when you rarely see temps in the … Continue reading When the heat is on
