You Have Your Story, Find Your Voice
Have you had an experience so profound you just had to share it with others? Has a single event, or series of events over time inspired you to take what you’ve learned out into the world and make something of it? I have definitely had such experiences, and not only want to spread the word […]
Announcing the Birth of a Book: Welcome to the World, Blueberry Truth
“How long does it take to write a book?” I get asked that question a lot. My standard answer is about nine months, or about the same amount of time it takes to make a baby. It’s a bit of a pat answer, but there is some truth to it. It does take, give or […]
Finding a Publisher You Love
Earlier this week, my first novel, Six Weeks to Yehidah, was released by All Things That Matter Press (ATTMP) and hit the Amazon bestseller charts the evening of its debut. I have no doubt that much of the reason for this early success is that I chose the right publisher. Six Weeks to Yehidah crosses […]

Teachers constantly learn from their students, and reflect on the variety of personalities, beliefs, and outlooks of these young adults who will shape the world of tomorrow. Teaching […]
Genre Discrimination with Women’s Fiction
There’s lots of talk about self-publishing discrimination, and more about gender discrimination, but it’s “genre” discrimination that is on my mind “Genre” is your book’s category. If we want to ever make any money writing, being associated with a certain genre is especially important in helping first time authors find their audience. My debut novel, […]
Rome: The Coming of the King by MC Scott
Today May 12, 2011 Rome: The Coming of the King by M. C. Scott was released. We asked her to be a guest blogger to learn more about her work. In a fair world, as a woman, I’d be writing the coming of the queen and it would be every bit as erotic as it sounds. […]
