Hi all!

I wonder if anyone would like to help me out? I'm fairly new here, and I've recently written a book (it's not a great paving slab of a thing, and is still in progress) and I'm thinking of perhaps trying to get published. The problem is, I don't really have an exact audience. I asked around my friends, and my best friend said that it was most likely a book for (particularly mad) teenagers, and another of them said it could be anything depending on how you thought about it…

Hello every one I'm new to this site.   I was looking for  groups to  join where other authors come and learn from one another. I became a first time author last year. My first book At a Glance was published in March which I wrote when I was 17 and my second On the Bedroom Wall was published in September. November it was featured at the International Book Fair. I am currently writing the follow up to OTBW (New Beginnings) as we speak.  And then end that series with Sins of the Father. So…

Unless you’re the prude of your generation, everybody likes a humorous story. Some light-hearted anecdote to bring a smile or a gentle chuckle.

Many authors will insert humor into their stories, even if the subject matter is serious or the tone is dramatic. Humor gives the reader a rest, a small break before diving back into the deep end. My favorite example comes from the Hitchcock movie “Topaz”. The entire movie concerns spies. However, the one small moment comes near the…

windows opened, and attempted to compose an essay, or whatever one might wish to term one’s

analysis of the words of…

I just started an account with Createspace and submitted my new bok "Christmas Treasures" so far I have talked to several people on the phone and they were all very supportive.  It is not free!  But they do provied a lot of services for the fee. 

Did you get that? In one hundred days, a couple things are going to happen. One, a bunch of kids are going to be out of school for the summer. Two, The Empyrical Tales Book III: The Secret Queen will be available from Comfort Publishing. What a perfect way to start that summer reading adventure!…

LASTEST BLOG POST ALERT! The Great Seducers (part 3) - The Ideal Lover. The first two parts of this series looked at the siren (who masters by manipulation) and the rake (adores but unable to commit). Today's post and our third type of seducer, is 'the ideal lover', who in theory should be less threatening to our composure, but in reality is every bit as dangerous. The ideal lover feeds off people's dissatisfaction and in a world of disillusionment he or she is gifted in the illusion of…

Ever wonder what hell is like? How a medieval civilization functions when the people in it can fly? Do you consider what aliens think of us? Just what can a genetic hackers do when they really put their mind to it? Have you fretted over entities from outside the known universe? What really happens in those mission chapters of human history?



Now you can discover.
