Writing; the mountains and the valleys
I was thinking just today about the all the highs and lows of the writing life and came to one conclusion. I wouldn't change it if I could. My only regret is that I started writing publicly at a ah...ahem, later time in life. Okay, I'm old, you happy now?
One of the "highs" about writing is the feedback you get from time to time. Someone will be kind enough to write and say, "I just loved what you wrote about bla...bla..." and you read it six or seven times just to get that "feeling"…

Royally Yours
Hello world, thanks to Jerry Bolton, my bud, I've arrived in the land of the Book Marketing Network. Now if I could just find a way to maneuver around in here, I'd be set. Speaking of set, anybody know how to get your book cover set to the right size for viewing? Mine looks short and fat. Speaking of short and fat, it's lunch time.
Later, da Queen

I would like to invite you to join my Ning Book Marketing network. I have been a published author for many years and love to network with others who have a passion for writing and publishing.
If you get a chance, please visit my blog to read my special feature called The Author’s Corner. This week’s featured author is Nikki Leigh. http://www.kathleengage.blogspot.com Nikki shared some excellent tips on how an author can market themselves.
Have a great day.

Hope you are having a good Labor Day. We have to labor on it on Monday since it is only an American holiday.
If you google her name, Barbara Johnson, she comes up on the first page a few times. One link is: www.familychristian.com/wof/barbara.johnson.asp
Marion James (UK) and I (Texan) are both in Turkey and are business colleagues eg co-owners of a large English bookstore and small publishing house. Best to you!
If you ever plan to come this way, we can arrange some speaking opportunities for you, just let us know.
I wanted to thank you for your comments on my forum topic - Co-Publishing. I, too, have decided to self-publish. While I'm psyched about it, I know I have a lot of hard work ahead of me. I'm trying to learn and absorb as fast as I can. Thanks for the advice!

Ms McP, I'm not familiar with Barbara Johnson. Would you have a web site I could check out? I love meetings other humorist, and let me say that reading their work inspires me as well.
Are both of you women in the same country? I'm confused....then again, I can blow my nose and be confused, nothing new there.
As a Brit I guess I owe allegiance to only one Queen, (i.e. Lizzie the Second) but I loved your approach to bookstores. If only every author who came into our store had a clear idea of what they want to get out of the meeting and a clear proposition for us rather than "can you take my book I know it will sell lots of copies and make you very rich". If you are ever Istanbul, Turkey way - we'd love to see you!
Okay, just joshin....but I have to say that I can't remember a place where so many authors/writers have come together under one roof and they're ALL nice. What are the odds?
Lawrence, thank you kindly for the feedback. Your words are my mantra. Life is so short so yes, connect with what excites you and go for it! Sailboats weren't meant to sit in the habor...
Yuhooo! Colleen, thank you as well. I love that baby you're holding. I just happen to be a great animal lover, myself.
All, please drop by the castle any time, won't you? Me castle is your castle!
Royally yours, QJJ
Thanks for the friendship request. I was checking out your sites and enjoyed reading about you & your books. Love your sense of humor, you're a true Southern gal!
Have a great evening,
Colleen
