How to Re-Launch Your Novel

How to Re-Launch Your Novel




I first published Mrs. Tuesday's Departure as an ebook on Amazon's Kindle a little over a year ago. It went well. But as the year went on, I felt that the book was not as good as it could have been. Which/

The 15 Minute Challenge




Last month I was inspired by a post I read on Keetha's new blog for writers You are Talented and Original. (By the way, I just love that title.) But back to the subject at hand...on Keetha's new blog she'dlinked to an article about a writer who challenged herself/… Read full post »

Re-Thinking New Year's Resolutions

 

I know, I know, we're more than halfway through January and I'm just getting around to posting my New Year's resolutions? It isn't that I haven't been thinking about them, actually I've given them a lot of thought and gone through more than a few revisions.

Let's Trade Reviews!

Mrs. Tuesday's Departure 

 

I have been madly participating on the Community boards on Amazon.com to promote my debut novel: Mrs. Tuesday's Departure. Because reader reviews of a book can be an integral part of the buyer's decision making process, I've offered to trade reviews with some of my fellow ki… Read full post »

Editing My Ebook

 Blue balloons cover

 

When I decided to self-publish one of my novels as an ebook, I really had only one choice. I've written three, or rather two and a half, novels. The first novel will someday need a complete re-write. The second novel, Mrs. Tuesday's Departure, was done but needed some… Read full post »

Oh Lord, where is my job?

Two weeks ago I posted my resume to a dozen of the most popular job sites to see if by casting a wide net I would attract more activity for my job hunt.

 

The results were simultaneously interesting and disappointing.… Read full post »

Do Job Sites Really Work?

Actually most of the month of May was spent in a desperate race against time as I scrambled to find a new rental home before my lease ran out at the end of the month.

Thanks to a lot of hunting and a whole lot of prayer, a terrific house became available/… Read full post »

The Unexpected Book

Yesterday I stopped by the library to pick up the books I'd ordered online and which sat waiting for me on the reserve shelf. One of the things that I love about the Evergreen library is that they actually trust you to walk up to the shelf and take your own… Read full post »

Can Optimism Be Learned?

The Prodigal Daughter

Today I attended Saturday evening Mass for the first time in weeks. The gospel reading was the story of the prodigal son who returns home after wasting his entire fortune and is welcomed by his father.

From Designer Duds to Bargain Basement

There was a time when I was the queen of Neiman Marcus. Back in the days when I worked on Wall Street, I went to Neiman Marcus twice a year, Fall and Spring, to buy my business suits for the season. I bought five suits with matching blouses and spent what… Read full post »

And God Laughed

First, I want to clarify that I am a big fan of a verse from the book of Genesis which paraphrased states: "Abraham feared the Lord, and it was credited to him as righteousness". A fear of God is something I live by, not a cowering fear, but certainly a healthy… Read full post »

God is My Headhunter

Last night the President said that for all the success stories he'd heard about how the economy was turning around he also knew of people who 'sent out resumes every day and got no response'. At that moment I thought he was speaking of me. Before I moved to Evergreen, I… Read full post »
