Lifeliner in Short, a Video
Been awhile in the making, but at last Lifeliner in Short is live on YouTube. Not a book trailer and not the whole biography of Judy Taylor, but a nice, pleasing taste of her amazing story set to music from ccmixter.org, licensed through Creative Commons. I had fun playing with the pitch of my voice,…
An Electronic Slideshow of Judy Taylor, the heroine of Lifeliner
My new Canon CanoScan 8800F scanner has been working hard, scanning prints, negatives, and slides of Judy Taylor and the area she lived in. And I’ve at last finished scanning and fixing them. As you can imagine, some of these decades-old slides were faded, some were a bit blurred being photos of photos, and some…
Photographic Tour of Judy’s First Post-TPN Home
Back in 1999, my ex and I drove up to Judy Taylor’s first house on the lake. I wanted to take photographs of not only her place, but also the area around it, the roads there and back, and of her church in Bobcaygeon. I don’t remember what I intended to use the photographs for,…

However, many of us Canuck authors can’t get attention from Canadian publishers if we streaked…
WD Judge of Self-Published Book Awards Comments on Lifeliner
Almost a year ago, I submitted Lifeliner to the 16th Annual Writer’s Digest International Self-Published Book Awards. I recently heard from them, much to my surprise. Unfortunately, my book “was not among the winners.” That’s a nice way to put it; they gave me a participation certificate. The winners will not be announced publicly until…
Connecting to Community
I spread my presence across the bookstore Net and then realised I was overextended. I signed up for Amazon Connect awhile ago. It’s similar to chapters.indigo.ca Community; in fact the Community is probably a take-off of Connect. I tried to stay current with both, but in the end, especially after all of Amazon’s shenanigans, I’ve…
