Posted on July 12, 2013 Leave a Comment
Social Media, what works for you? Relationships. It’s all about relationships. Social media is just our virtual pub or café or bookstore or our neighborhood park.

How long should a book be? It’s so personal! As a reader there are times where I love to get lost in an epic and don’t care how long a book is. There are times when I just want a quick read, and that usually means a smaller word count. I am a very slow […]

Posted on February 8, 2013 2 Comments
Welcome to the YA INDIE CARNIVAL! For me, B&N hasn’t done a whole lot for me lately. My sales there are only a fraction of my total sales and I feel like it’s harder to discover titles that I want to read on their web site. But I’m THRILLED….did I say ELATED…..did I say OVERJOYED….that […]
