Last night, I was inspired to write a poem which I scrawled in the margins of the crossword puzzle I was doing. The Return I thought I caught a glimpse Of you from afar I don’t know how long it’s been Since you graced my presence Hoping for a visit But hopes dashed In aContinue reading “Thursday Thoughts: The Return – A Poem (and The Olympics – Part 10)”

Monday Musings: Author’s Comments
I recently ran a promo with Itsy Bitsy Book Bits which gave their pool of reviewers free access to my poetry book. I unfortunately did not see any sales, but the reviews that I received put my BookBub total to 21, Goodreads to 37, and Amazon to 14. This made me ponder the appropriateness ofContinue reading “Monday Musings: Author’s Comments”
Tuesday Tidbits: On the right track!
It’s been a while since I wrote about reviews. It’s also been a while since I received any. Coincidence? Probably. I decided to run a promotion with Itsy Bitsy Book Bits (IBBB) for my poetry book after reading some Goodreads forums on marketing sites. They do rely heavily on social media presence, along with theirContinue reading “Tuesday Tidbits: On the right track!”
Free Book Friday: June 25 – Finally free. Now on to categories.
The story behind Free Book Friday: I’ve met many authors and readers during my time marketing, cross-promoting, and blogging. I think writers have a responsibility to inform readers about all the indie authors out there in the very crowded world of book publishing.

Thursday Thoughts: Poem to Story
I came across writing prompts on the site Reedsy which were all about windows. I remembered that I had written a poem about a window during National Poetry Month. I looked it over and thought that it would make a good short story, so I began to transform poem to story. When I finished, IContinue reading “Thursday Thoughts: Poem to Story”
Second Chance Sunday: The 100 Mile (160 km) Staycation
This is not an old post, but it does fit in in with the theme of second chances. When you walk down your local street, do you see anything interesting? Take that same street, put it in a town you have never been to, and everything is suddenly exciting, isn’t it? Last year for sureContinue reading “Second Chance Sunday: The 100 Mile (160 km) Staycation”

Second Chance Sunday: Blog ‘Bout Book Blogs
I was looking through my posts, and I had thought that I had posted this here before, but I couldn’t find it (yes, I used the search feature). So, here is a post from my old blog, circa 2019. Say that five times fast. That’s OK. Take your time. Try again. I’ll wait… We’ll justContinue reading “Second Chance Sunday: Blog ‘Bout Book Blogs”
