A book is not just a book.

Posted on August 25, 2018 at 10:18 AM Comments comments ()
A book isn't just a book. Not to the author anyway. A great deal is put into writing that story; time, thought, research, skill. A story is not only written once, it is edited and re-written many times before it is available in the stores. Many decisions have to be made during the writing and development process, making it quite an involved and complicated process. It is a great accomplishment to write and have a book published. Something to be truly proud of.                                                                                                                                                          

Won another Award

I've won it again, that's three times in a row!   Henagar Business Recognition has chosen me once again as an author as the winner of the award. This is in recognition of the marketing methods that I use to promote my books.

Book Reviews

Posted on April 13, 2014 at 1:18 PM Comments comments ()
I'd like to get your thoughts and ideas on reviews of my book. So far I've discovered that if you want your book reviewed, you have to pay. Now, to me that seems like bribary. In order to get some top reviews from magazines or book review companies such as Kirkus, you have to pay anywhere from $500 upwards. Does this seem right? Anyone have ideas or advice as to how I can get reviews for my book? If you've read my book, then please tell me about it, the good and the bad. Please write something in the review on this website.
I would really appreciate your feedback.

I have to share this with you. On monday 12th May I was invited to be a guest at a local radio station. WFPA 1400 AM, the Mike Wallace show. I was asked about The Pick Up, My history and future books. I was on the air for a total of 30 minutes! It was so much fun. I was really nervous at first, but then once I got talking Mike couldn't shut me up. I just want to say a big thank you to Mike and Tammy for inviting me. Check out their show and website.

I want to thank Mike at WFPA 1400 am, a local radio station talk show host for having me on his show on monday. It was great fun! I was nervous and wondered what I would say, but Mike made me feel at ease and before I knew it I had been on air for 15 minutes. Thank you again.
