Blog postTweet Mission: increase visibility of my Kindle library.
The fascinating world of free social media (SM) had me spending money in this free world yesterday. Like many writers, I spend almost as much time advertising my books as I do writing and editing them. Was there an easier way?
I’d tried Google Ads years ago, but frankly, the ads failed because I failed. I had zero idea and inclination on how to do advertising. Google may have had better outcomes if I’d shown even an -
Blog postTweet If you’re a writer and you’re lucky enough to have had a book cover animated by Morgan Wright, then you absolutely should show it off. Soon after my cover for “Downfall” was engineered by Ms. Wright, I learned that I could post her work on my Amazon Author Page. Fellow scribe Gina Maxwell requested a tutorial, so here we go.
Go to your Amazon author page. Here’s mine, topped by this rather handsome fellow (or he is if you believe my grandmother)(and my grandmother is nev

Blog postTweet Did you know today is Veteran’s Day? Well, how could you not know with the hundreds of reminders in advertising, political tweets, and a few meal specials at your local diner. Underlying that, though, is the sense of veteran fatigue. Perhaps that while we as a county may be grateful to our living warriors, I also wonder if maybe we’re a little weary of thanking our veterans.
Newspapers reflect the moods of our communities, so I took a peek. Several independent and reputa

Blog postTweet Hello and welcome to another edition of Monday Blogs, the Twitter forum where writers share our ideas, styles and methodologies on independent writing and publishing. This soapbox should not be used to publicize our own works, but if our moderator will forgive me, I’m going to use some of my own advertising to illustrate where some writers may feel they’re deficient, but shouldn’t.
I steered clear of graphic programs for the longest time because I didn’t feel artistic or

Blog postTweet Writers will relate to the jumping-off-the-cliff feeling of seeing the cover for your book because people do judge your book by the cover. Case in point:
Yeah, not one of my covers. It was submitted as part of a 99designs contest for Saturday’s Child (which is free this week, btw). The artist withdrew it after I sent them a message full of laughter and glee, plus a warning about copyright infringement. After all, this is Kate Beckinsale from the Underworld franchise. Ni

Blog postTweet Writers are readers first. We can’t succeed as scribes unless we’re reading the masters, but who are those legends in our minds? Who are the giants that led us to believe we could be one of them, if only in our small world? Here are the authors who influenced me on a greater-than-average level.
Two small caveats: I hate blog posts about lists because I think they talk down to our readers, but y’all seem to love lists, so here we are. I also hate making lists because I a

Blog postTweet The next release date is creeping up fast, though one wonders if we can “creep fast.” The book that I and many others have been working on will be released on Thursday, October 31, and this one has been both a pleasure and burden to write and edit. I think we got all the dangling participles undangled, and all the “who/where/when” connected to the right nouns, but no book is ever perfect. We do our best and hope for the best.

Blog postTweet Here’s a story about the outfield baskets at Wrigley Field in Chicago. You decide if I made it up or not.
For most of its one-hundred-plus years, the Chicago Cubs played daytime games in the Friendly Confines. Truth be told, they played bad, terrible baseball under a summer sun a few miles from humid Lake Michigan. Having to endure this sucky baseball way back in the day, fans in the outfield cheap seats (lovingly known as Bleacher Bums) sought “alternative” entertainmen

Blog postTweet My arms are just long enough,
My fingers stretch as I reach,
The metal of my cell numbs my pressed skin
My memories are a life of building this cell
With the leash and chain and rope of “you can’t do that”
There’s a chair beside a table with cuffs
For the waterboarding of others’ dementia.
I must sit and watch while they drown
Kindness is a cell key made of formless ether
A stranger outside must turn the key, let in the sun.

Blog postMortality is this week’s theme, as in “touched by one’s own mortality.” I’ve never really taken my impending death for granted, something that will happen to us all. I come from the long-lived stock of humans, with both parental units descended from families who’ve lived in their nineties. I naturally assumed that I would follow […]
