Margaret Mizushima and Her Timber Creek K-9 Mystery Series

July 6, 2017 By: Patricia

I just read the second book in Margaret Mizushima’s Timber Creek K-9 Mystery Series, Stalking Ground, and wanted to pass on the good news. Book 2 is even better than Book 1, Killing Trail.

For example, one of my friends goes alone to his family cabin a short distance …Read More

For many authors, the hardest thing about writing and publishing a book is knowing how to do it right. And when it comes to self-publishing, cutting through the confusion is a challenge.

March 23, 2017 By: Patricia

That was my first thought when Karen Helene Walker put out her first call for essays for an anthology on aging. It’s my mom who’s aging, I thought. I’ll write about her.

Patience, My Writer … by Natasha Wing

March 9, 2017 By: Patricia

When I do school visits with elementary students, I typically get asked, “How long does it take to make a book?” Fiction books in my mass market Night Before paperback series typically take two years to make from the writing to the printing.
