How do you tell that to a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and author?“Basically I am doing this because I am a curmudgeon,” Mr. Mamet said in a telephone interview, “and because publishing is like Hollywood — nobody ever does the marketing they promise.” Read full article here. http://nyti.ms/111zZiw Should the…See More

Like for Like is Useless, Link for Link is Priceless
In Google's eyes at least, follow for follow and like for like carry almost no weight. However, every site that links back to your page lends your site more weight, thats SEO. Blogrolls that link back to your page and vice versa, are what the Google bots pay attention to. Each blog that links to yours becomes part of a web that will push you up in page ranking on Google and increase your traffic.So, let's do it! If you think my website (a show of…See More

I have been fighting with Smashwords conversion software which they call "the meat-grinder". I can see why it got that name. It's hard to match the formatting that I have done with InDesign.See More

Plague of Vampires is now for sale!
Thanks to modern science you can now become a vampire.
Think, if you say yes you will never be sick again. You will also become stronger and faster than you were before. Because the transformation is due to a man made virus there are none of those nasty side effects of sunlight, holy water or crosses.
There are only a few minor catches the first is that vampires must get regular blood transfusions or the virus will eat the infected from the inside out. Another is that if you get the wrong strain of the virus you will not be transformed, instead you will will die a painful death. Finally a great number of people will no longer see you as human and will want you dead.
Now enter the action-adventure world of Plague of Vampires A world where fear and paranoia for both the clean and the infected has split the country. Where existing federal agencies have inadequate skills to contain the threat to public health. To deal with this threat Congress created The Centers for Disease Control Tactical Team, or CDCTT, to work with police across the country, helping separate fact from fiction when dealing with people who would exploit the disease for their own ends.
In this first stand alone adventure FBI Special Agent Andrew Taylor has pushed his way into the CDCTT but his teammates are not sure if he’s the right man for this job due to his due to his tragic history. The team must come together when a legal battle by divorced parents over infecting an eight year old to save him from terminal cancer becomes a flashpoint. To make the situation worst a madman, nicknamed ‘Zero’, the self appointed ‘King of the Vampires’ takes an interest in the trial. Is he there to disrupt the trial, or to advance his own dark agenda?

New author surreal moment.
I had a very surreal moment this past weekend and just had to share it with everyone. My wife is a professional costumer and we both belong and help out with the Costumers Guild West organization (http://www.costumersguild.net )
There was a meeting this past weekend of the organization and as a new author I could not resist at the end of the meeting to announce to the group that my wife and I had written and published a novel. …

Hello,
I came across your blog, and I thought you would be the perfect person to contact.
My name is Jay Siva, the founder of EZBuyButton.com, an easy 'buy book' widget for authors. I'm contacting you today because I think you and your readers would love to know about the EZBuyButton widget I've created.
It is the most advanced 'buy now' widget for selling books. I make it free for authors and publishers, worldwide, to quickly and easily create and use our EZBuyButton widget to place on their website or blog to immediately increase the sales of their books, especially if their books are listed for sale in more than one retail store. I made it super easy, with just a few clicks they just copy & paste a piece of code onto their website/blog, and they're done.
The widget allows website visitors to select which device they'd like to use to read the author's book, and then select their preferred retail store that they'd like to purchase the book from. It also geolocates the visitor's location and will send the visitor to the correct country specific retail store so that they can buy the author's book. The widget is also fully customizable, and the author will have access to detailed real-time statistics of the use of their widget.
I would like to invite you to visit my website, and try out the EZBuyButton widget. I hope you find that my widget will be useful to you and your readers, including all the authors, literary agents, and publishers you're in contact with.
My website is http://www.ezbuybutton.com.
If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them for you. Thank you for your time.
kindest regards,
Jay Siva

Hi!
Welcome to Book Blogs! I'm Kate, a young adult author. My debut novel Taste has just been released by Crescent Moon Press last April 30, 2012.
At Barinkoff Academy, there's only one rule: no students on campus after curfew. Phoenix McKay soon finds out why when she is left behind at sunset. A group calling themselves night students threaten to taste her flesh until she is saved by a mysterious, alluring boy. With his pale skin, dark eyes, and mesmerizing voice, Demitri is both irresistible and impenetrable. He warns her to stay away from his dangerous world of flesh eaters. Unfortunately, the gorgeous and playful Luka has other plans.
When Phoenix is caught between her physical and her emotional attraction, she becomes the keeper of a deadly secret that will rock the foundations of an ancient civilization living beneath Barinkoff Academy. Phoenix doesn’t realize until it is too late that the closer she gets to both Demitri and Luka the more she is plunging them all into a centuries old feud.
Grab your copy now at:
Amazon
Barnes & Noble
I hope you enjoy your stay here! Lots of great people and interesting topics. If there's anything you might need, please don't hesitate to leave a comment on my page.
Sincerely,
Kate
