Hang in there Jozanny! Your belief in direct relationship with your audience is the way to go. According to a study done by Bowker, the least effective way to get people to buy your books is through a blog or author website, though it's a growing area, it's still very small in the market share. Most...

I have just ordered my Kindle and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. But as an author, I must say...publishing on Amazon for Kindle only takes a few minutes but for Nook I go through a distributor, and that takes several weeks.

I read to help fall asleep at night so I really don't drink anything. When I'm lucky enough to get to read during the day, in the summer I absolutely love Southern Ice Tea.

Hi Luna! Thank you for the note. It's nice to meet you too :-). It would be great if you could ask your library to purchase Wiretap. That's an area I've been working on recently, and it has been quite a challenge even getting local libraries to show an interest. But it's all a learning experience an...
