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…

On Authors Blogs
Authors Blogs is a listing of those who write and those who blog about writing. Their motto is “It’s hard to write. It’s hard to blog. If you do both, you belong here.” They believe I do as I’ve just been approved! They list in alphabetical order by the first word of your name.
A Good Gift for Mother’s Day
Thank goodness for a timely phone call about Mother’s Day and the suggestion that maybe my book would be a good gift for that special day. Back before the shit hit the fan, I had mapped out the special days that Lifeliner would be good for, and one of the obvious ones was Mother’s Day.…

A Book Signing Précis
The food was yummy! I was very good while at Mela Café, noshing on only two breaded-eggplant mini-baguette sandwiches, and of course, having a cappuccino; but once home with the few left-over sandwiches in hand, I quickly plunked myself down in front of the Rick Mercer Report and polished off Roberto’s addictive creations, while trying…
Linking Can Be Amusing
Beta is code for screwed up. One must remember that! I decided to give Amazon.ca’s Context Links (Beta) widget a try, thinking it’ll pick up my name or the title of my book. Ha! It picked up on Judy’s name first. Only problem was it went to “Judy Taylor” the author of Dudley Dormouse, a…
How to Autograph Your Book
Writers write, right? So you’d think they’d have plenty to say about the book signing thing. Wrong. For starters, it took me several attempts to try and find any advice on what pen to use, and I ended up asking the associate at Loomis and Toles. Then forget trying to Google the question, “How to…
