Sales, Lack of…Information
People ask me how my sales are going, assuming the book is selling fine. Well, to be honest, I have no idea. It wasn’t selling well during the months I do have information for, but iUniverse has a totally f’d up sales reporting system and software. The recent activity sales report launches a PDF file…
My New CafePress Shop: Points North Studio
I write to create, expose, think out loud, tell a story, keep me sane. But I photograph flowers, animals, cityscapes for fun. I see a scene, a flower, and as long as my camera is nearby, I shoot. No thinking involved, like with writing, well, usually not. I lost this hobby of mine for several…
Going to be on the Jack E Jett Show! Whoo hoo!
Tweeting on Twitter is paying dividends I didn’t expect. Tweeting is fun; reading others’ tweets is funny, enlightening, boring, and never predictable. It keeps me writing when my brain isn’t up to much composition. Those are the dividends I was expecting and hoping for. But what I didn’t expect are the opportunities it brings. Jack…
Sponsoring Irene Watson’s Virtual Book Launch and Fundraiser

Mini Book Expo Claim, Malaysian Health Journalist, and Housekeeping News
Awhile ago, I wrote about submitting Lifeliner to Mini Book Expo. I submitted it in the hopes of getting more exposure for my book, but not really thinking that as a self-published author I had much of a chance of having Lifeliner claimed. When I received an e-mail asking me if I’d ship a copy…
Now Writing on Squidoo!
How does a writer make money in this modern world? The question becomes even more puzzling when you factor in a lack of stamina and fatiguing problems, like I have. Lifeliner is selling but not well enough to earn a steady income. Other traditional ways for a writer to earn a living include selling articles…
Another Good Review!
I’m starting to feel like a critically acclaimed movie: lots of good words, not the commensurate number of sales. Still, the review of Lifeliner I just stumbled across was a real upper. When I searched for “jeejeebhoy” on Amazon.com, I did a double take when I saw next to the title of my book “4…
