FastPencil is another self-publishing service company that plans to rival Lulu with its simplicity. For instance, you don’t have to wade through pages and pages of material to figure out how to self-publish your book or ebook. I’m not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing yet. I’ll know once I finish the [...] Read more »
Shades of Evil, A Paranormal Thriller: Draft Two Completed
I have been working on this story since I crossed the finish line of the 2008 NaNoWriMo competition, trying to solidify the plot to something intelligible and believable. The mind mapping technique worked to outline the newer characters, and I had constructed what I thought was a solid plot at the time. My characters evidently [...] Read more »

The Girl Who Played with Fire: Better Than the First

I’ve tried to read romance novels in the past, but I can’t get past the sugary, flowery descriptions [...] Read more »
Amazon: Read the Fine Print Before You Buy a Kindle Edition Book
How many of you read the Terms of Service word-for-word when you’re about to download software from the Internet? I’ll admit that I skim this particular document because the lawyer-speak drives me nuts. I don’t remember having to agree with a TOS before I uploaded the Kindle app to my iTouch last year, but I’m [...] Read more »
Prosperity Listed on Amazon
When I wrote yesterday’s post, I honestly didn’t expect to see my book listed on Amazon before the month was up. Imagine my surprise when I found it up early this morning. There is no synopsis, and Amazon is listing it as temporarily unavailable. A year and a half ago, I had no problem uploading [...] Read more »
