I’m not athletic.  Ask anyone who knows me from my youth and they’ll tell you, yeah, she was more the book and theatre type.  True.

I’m also short.  My mother says if I were a car, I’d be the fuel-efficient model, meaning it takes few calories…

“…an especially suitable place or position…” that’s one way Webster’s defines the word niche.  Do you know the most suitable place or position where your writing and specific books fit?  If you don’t know that yet, and if you want to be successful in marketing your work, you need to figure out your niche.  The complicated part starts now because you have to leave your preconceptions behind and take a look at your work with fresh eyes.  When you started writing your book, you may have…

Tomorrow is the birthday of a dear friend of mine who lost her battle with cancer several years ago. Julie was my boss when I worked at RealNetworks, over twelve years ago.  When we worked together she was diagnosed with breast cancer.  She had surgery, radiation and chemo and never missed one day of work.  Can you imagine how tough you have to be to do that?  When I was told by the head of the department that Julie was coming to be my new boss, she said, "Don't worry you'll love her.  She's…

Here are the website links for my books, Ouroboros, Adventures in the Matrix, a collection of short stories and the illustrations that inspired them, http://twocrows.webs.com/ , and Parallax, the Time Conspiracy and the Heretic, which is a speculative work that takes us back ten thousand years into our past, then, takes a look at what could be our near future.

Laurie will be my guest in The G-ZONE next week April 5^th @ 8.30am EST to discuss all that and much, much, much more.…
