Marketing and Networking

Every freelance writer should add this to his resume...freelance marketer



On Saturday, I was invited to attend a Writer's Group mini book fair in which there were several authors besides myself present to introduce their book to a group of interested readers. During the book fair, the guests were served refreshments and were given a Q&A discussion period with the authors about the publishing business, about their books, and about the ins and outs of writing and submitting.… Continue

A Fool and His Honey by Charlaine Harris

So this was my favorite book of the series so far (minus the little sad part at the end- I won't spoil it for anyone).



It was one of the more interesting books that went as fast as all of the others. I feel so bad about Martin that I can't wait to start the next book. I don't know if I will be able to read anything else until I find out what happens.



Again, I really enjoy anything that Harris writes and I will read anything that she puts out. Fool and his honey was def… Continue

BOOK REVIEW: The Other by David Guterson

The Other by David Guterson is a work of fiction that treads the fine line to believability. It is just possible someone exists that has done what John has done. It is very likely. The Other is written from the perspective of Neil Countryman who is a want-to-be author and full-time school teacher and family man. He is best friends with John William Barry who was born with a silver spoon. These two dissimilar men share a love of the wilderness. A… Continue

CHAPTER 2

Job transfers were part of my father’s job as a railroad engineer. As a consequence, our family moved every so often during my dad’s career to a different place, mostly in Java's eastern province. Though once he was transferred to Padang Pandjang on the big island of Sumatra’s west coast, where my brother Ben was born.



When my dad retired, my parents decided to settle in Lawang, a small town between Surabaya and Malang on East Java. Predictably, Dad bought a house in sight of the… Continue

Busy As Ever

As I finish up on July virtual tours and try to get everything needed together for August tours while beginning work on September and October tours - all while maintaining six professional blogs, a character interviews blog and a personal blog - I begin to wonder if I'm meant to be a writer.



In the fiction sense, of course.



I can't help but admire the writers who balance out a career in writing along with a 'day job'. For some reason, I keep having trouble figuring out all… Continue

Outliers: The Story of Success. Malcolm Gladwell.

“Dulce,” my cousin Felix says as I spread myself out on his bedroom floor. “Have you ever read Outliers?”



“Que?” I ask.



“Malcolm Gladwell?” He asks. “Blink?”



“Que?” I ask.



He stood and grabbed a medium white book and graciously pushes it towards me. “Read it.”



And thus began my love affair with Malcolm Gladwell (and his afro) began.



Outliers: The Story of Success redefies the concept of ‘success’ by… Continue

Review: The Wardstone Chronicles: The Spook's Curse by Joseph Delaney.

The Spook's Curse is the second book in the Wardstone Chronicles, written by Joseph Delaney. A sequel to the first book in the series, I think of the Spook's Curse as an unexpected sequel as the Spook's Apprentice seemed like a stand-alone novel, but it wasn't at all a mistake to continue the series.



In this instalment, Tom Ward is continuing his training as a spook, seeking out and eliminating the dark and…

Book Review: Hex Marks the Spot



Hex Marks the Spot by Madelyn Alt



The third installment in the Bewitching Mysteries series was definitely my favorite thus far. Maggie is finally growing as a character and even though I rate Ms. Alt's book at a nonstop 4, it doesn't seem… Continue

CHAPTER 1

Winds of change were unmistakably headed for my homeland, the island nation of the former Dutch East Indies, nowadays known as the Republic of Indonesia. They came foreshadowed by foreboding events. The Netherlands, our fatherland, soon fell victim to the unbridled war of expansion of Hitler’s Third Reich in May 1940.

Japan’s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in December of ’41 served as a clear and ominous omen that war was heading our way. The infamous attack on the United States of America… Continue

My Miracle by Rodney Barnes

This book, "My Miracle" is all about before, during, after, and up to this point since I had a Traumatic Brain Injury/Surgery, coma, and relearning everything over again. It talks about roads we take, decisions we make, how you may communicate with a loved one going through this kind of adjusting, relationships, marriage, school, work, alcohol, getting into trouble, finding your way, the simple facts of God (before and after this accident), professionalism, and so much more.



I had to… Continue

PROLOGUE





"SNAPSHOTS" is a collection of memories of my life which began in pre-WW II, in the former Dutch East Indies, better known as Indonesia. My early life had its roots in an era when profound political changes in the region were in the offing. Ultimately, those changes brought about by the advent of WW II and the violent aftermath known as the bersiap period came to pass. Altogether, they re-shaped the region that had been a Dutch colony for some three hundred years. Its… Continue
