Hi I am a new author with my book being released this week by Tate Publishing.  It is a one of a kind Christian book and a true "David versus Goliath" story that is very unique.  I might also add it is the first Christian book about the IRS, and that statement always brings a smile to everyone.  So far I have really been encouraged because everyone that has read the pre-release book has told me they were not able to put the book…

Yesterday I received a post from my daughter forwarded to her from friends. It was a wonderful revelation of the story clotheslines once told about a family's life. I had to laugh at the rules listed, for they were exactly those my mother and later I followed. There was a special way to hang out the clothes. Oh, yes, we once actually hung our washed laundry on lines out in the sunlight and wind.

Seems like a good place to start for a first blog here.  

On the idea of blogging "brand" it has been advised as the best way for an author to build "platform." And so, while this now addresses more than one concept, "brand" and "platform" I may be violating this sage advice. In fact I shouldn't even be blogging on brand because my announced brand has been "conspiracies" and therefore I am straying into…

Yesterday was a writing day for me and I made some progress on one of my serials. After the writing was done I made the rounds of Facebook and Twitter and this posted by my friend, J.R.D. Skinner:

"Being a writer means sitting in your chair till your coffee is cold, and then drinking it anyway."

This has to be one of the most profound statements I've ever seen and I wanted to share it (with J.R.D.'s…

My latest release is my first historical fiction A Handful of Blossoms (ISBN 9781471727962), 96 000 words, self-published on Smashwords and Lulu. Paranormal romance. Written in form of a diary, which genre (epistolary, confessional) was so popular in the 18th century and which sounds so comprehensible in our time of blogging, web-diaries and web-journals, the novella may be called a love story. A story of a sixteen-year-old damsel and her weird marriage. Time: 1764, a year after the Seven…

We’re off to New York City and the famous Algonquin Hotel at 59 West 44th Street in the heart of Manhatten. Built in 1902, the Algonquin has been a standard for luxury and comfort for decades.
