From the grassroots up...

From the grassroots up… I still believe in grassroots efforts and word of mouth. Not all of us need a major corporation telling us what we should be reading, listening to or watching. Some of us still appreciate the indie artist. When we support independent art, we put the power back in the hands of the consumer. We tell the mainstream that it is not the only influence over what it believes we want and/or need. Support independent art. Visit http://c… Continue

A tip of the hat from Sherlock Holmes

Some of my earliest memories of reading center on the excitement I found in the pages of the Sherlock Holmes stories. I was just a lad, so I was forever looking up those huge words Sir Athur Conan Doyle used in his narratives with Holmes and Watson. I couldn't pronounce most of them, and I was quite sure they would never come up in conversations with my school mates, but I was determined to understand every aspect of the stories. Doyle made quite an impression on me, and that excitement has stay… Continue

Have You Hugged An Editor Lately?

It takes talent, patience and a skilled editor to make a good book great. This is a friendly reminder in an age of POD and the “you can’t get it out there fast enough” attitude. Don’t let the enthusiasm to see your name in print allow you to sidestep these three elements. Getting it out there fast might satisfy your ego, but the last time I checked, egos don’t buy books. Here you are, two years of your life spent compiling the pages of your first novel. Think about all the research material pil… Continue
