  • Warning to Authors

    Yesterday I dared to suggest my book on two or three discussion threads on the Amazon forums – in response to customers who had written requesting ideas for books to read.

  • I didn’t sleep well Saturday night. I’d been visiting social network sites that evening and managed to get into trouble. While checking my hotmail.com messages, I tried to track one back to twitter but failed to connect. After trying several times, I gave up and closed hotmail – and found a disturbing message waiting for…

  • Altered Book Cover

    I just finished uploading a revised and, I hope, improved book cover image for Darlin’ Druid. This is one of the nice things about publishing a Kindle book. If at any time you want to alter the cover or text, you can do it. This is actually my second attempt to “fix” my cover. I…
