I needed a gift for one of my great-nephews who has a birthday coming up next week, so I chose to buy a book by the author I featured last Monday, Mark Ludy. When I Was a Boy…I Dreamed seemed like a good choice. When I picked it up, however, I found a bonus. This …Read More
Getting Serious About Promotion
It was so gorgeous yesterday in my part of Northern Colorado that I set a lawn chair in the shade of my grape vine and ate my yogurt/blueberry/granola lunch outside. Chilled a bit. Still couldn’t go back inside, so I grabbed my book and read out there for thirty whole minutes. Okay, enough of that …Read More
More About That Good Feeling
I was very tempted to run out and buy a Lotto ticket as Galen Kindley suggested in a comment on my post yesterday. Since I’ve had this feeling something good was about to happen, one would naturally think I should cover all the bases. But there was only a small window of time when I …Read More
That Feeling Something Good is About to Happen
Do you have days when you feel something good is about to happen? A little tingly across the shoulder blades? A desire to turn around, look in all directions, make sure you’re not missing something?

Regina Brett is Not Really 90 Years Old
Yeah, I know. I don’t usually post to my blog on Saturday. But I thought you might like this. There’s a great blog post (May 28, 2009) making the rounds via e-mail. It’s called 45 Life Lessons and 5 to Grow On. Somewhere along the line, someone made a mistake and listed the author’s age …Read More
Joseph Finder’s Twitter Book Tour
My apologies to any of my readers who aren’t Twitter fans, because some of this post will make no sense. Even so, if you’re a published author, I recommend you read on. I know some authors hold launch parties on Twitter by grouping exchanges under a hashtag title (often the author’s name or book title …Read More
How I Spent My One Day Vacation
Started out with a little Twitter and the important e-mails and coffee. Lots of coffee. Took the book I was reading and left the house (the laptop stayed home). Picked up a latte at a nearby coffee shop. Drove to a wonderful quiet place and read for three hours with no interruptions. Made it more …Read More
Books, Books, and More Books
Anyone who has been checking up knows that amazon.com thinks the release date for The Desert Hedge Murders is August 31st, and Barnes & Noble online thinks the release date is September 9th.
