Summer arrives and so does NaNoWriMo! Time to work on my website. Meanwhile, I’m still figuring out this ShopHERE stuff. Lesson one: I’m really not a business person. It takes a hell of a lot of stamina and as much tolerance for rejection as a writer. Well, not rejection, being ignored. I think I prefer…

Appearing on Personal Truths’ List of Six Inspirational Blogs!
“Being involved in an accident can be very distressing for everyone involved and the recovery process doesn’t always end when the visible injuries have healed.” Personal Truths is a UK website that documents real people’s journeys through personal injury and provides useful information for those who’ve been in accidents.

Website Update Time
Books don’t sell themselves. Unfortunately. You must market, publicize, convince people to write reviews for you — not rave about the book only to you. An up-to-date website also helps to sell yourself and your books. It ups your SEO on Google, a good thing as that’s how people find you. But an old-looking website…
talk talk talk Blog Looking Snazzy and Modern
talk talk talk — my original blog — has been looking sad and dated for way too long. I put updating it in my endless ToDo list.

I’ve replaced the Amazon carousel widget with a new plugin created for authors to help us showcase our books and with one click of a cover, it will show readers where to buy.

The background texture is handmade Japanese paper I photographed, uploaded to the computer, and futzed around with in Corel Paint Shop Pro X4. I used layers, the Color…
New Gift for New Subscribers — Free!
It’s been awhile since Lifeliner came out, and I thought it was well past time to update the gift I send those who subscribe to my website using the form in the right sidebar. I pondered what to give for a few weeks. I wanted to give something unique and attractive, something I hadn’t done…
Order Page Updated
I have updated my Order Page with the latest information on where to buy around the world my five books in ebook formats, paperback, and hardcover (Lifeliner only for the latter). CreateSpace has not finished rolling out the paperback version of She to all the online retailers and bookstores, and Smashwords is still distributing She…
Changes on the Backend
I’ve been moving and tweaking my website these last few days. A couple of months ago I became fed up with the technical ineptitude of my web host provider and decided to move. As is usual with the friendly people on the Internet, several immediately recommended various providers and gave me some tips. And as…
