"Look at those thousands of books!" I said to a fellow author while visiting a book store. What's an author to do? Whether you self-published or traditionally published, your book has to get in front of the reading and book buying public. Today it's the Internet. And I am so happy to have found Theodocia at http://www.coldcoffeecafe.com. She has really helped me to get my books out there on the net in places I did not know existed. Thanks,…

It’s a term I first heard last year: “crowd-funding”. What’s that? I hear many of you ask. Well have a quick look over www.kickstarter.com and you’ll soon learn that it is a way to fund creative projects / entrepreneurial ideas through small donations from “the crowd” as opposed to the traditional way of large venture capital, expensive loans or self-funding. Of course lots and lots of small affordable donations can add up to…

What did you think I meant? Find out at http://empyricaltales.blogspot.com/2012/12/lets-talk-about-intercourse.html

“There is a great need for a sarcasm font.”

Why? Because of all those pesky ‘ly’ words we writers aren’t supposed to use, yet every other published author does. Come on, raise your hand if you’ve ever heard some author/agent/editor/writing guru pontificate on how writers should never, ever, ever, use adverbs, especially in dialogue tags. If you do, you risk rejection,…

Both of us had the goal of telling a fun story, while holding the Amish with utmost respect. With the "defects" of our main character,…
