Update and plans for 2018
How time, she flys, eh? This blog is a year old today; I know because my domain fee was just paid, lol! What have I been doing for the past month? Client work, actually, which is a blessing, and I’ve got yet another client starting in January (2 blogs per week), so that’s good too.…

It’s good to be back!
Ah, technology. I know very little about setting up websites, mapping domains, etc. A fact that was probably abundantly clear if you stopped by this blog anytime this past week.

Business Plan Review, Adjustment & Trying Something New
At the beginning of the year I had a very ambitious plan to write one short story per week. Of course, that plan went down in flames. No surprise, in fact, I think my inner critic was snickering at my goal setting endeavors, because when I reviewed my business plan today (only 7 days behind…

The Publishing Wars
Well, not wars, actually…more like friendly competition. 😀 Smashwords, Draft2Digital, Pronoun, BookBaby, KDP, Nook Press, Lulu, Barnes & Noble…argh!!! So many publishers/distributors!! Last year I put stories up on both KDP and Smashwords. Out of all of the distributors that Smashwords sends to, Barnes & Noble is, by far, where I’ve sold the most. Wondering…

My First Ever Mock-Up…So Exciting!
Yesterday I did a mock-up using a template from a great guy, Mark Monciardini of Covervault. The first one is the template…obviously…and the next is the one I did of one of my stories…Murder in Blue Lake. This was just a test…me learning how to do it in Gimp. I’ve used Gimp before, but I…
