First 10000 Readers Author Training Program First Impression and beyond…
So, when I decided to write my romance novel “The Science of Loving,” I didn’t consider what came after hitting the publish button. While I figured there had to be more to being a successful author, my focus was on other things… So novel written, published… was lucky enough to have a few readers discover…
Some help please.
Okay Peeps, I need your help. My current work in progress has an alcoholic character who wakes up in San Diego’s drunk tank. Since this is something I’ve never experienced, I’m hoping some of you or someone you know has enjoyed police hospitality in the US due to intoxication and would be willing to anonymously…

NSFW:Profanity! Webhosting Companies and Copyright Infringement: Whois-n’t an Asshole
So I was out cruising the web looking to see if there was any new buzz on my book (because I’m both insecure and a masochist) when I came upon a site that had taken all the text from from “The Science of Loving” and pasted into 120 web pages. Yes 120 (and I don’t…
Another Immutable Writerly Rule
Treat the below items like the puss filled sebaceous cysts they are and excise them from your manuscript: Obvious/assumed actions and redundant informational phrases: Tricky Dick Mugillacutty picked up a slice of pizza in his hand, brought it to his mouth and took a bite.
