Free Book Friday
Where’s Funny Friday? Or Fun Friday. How about another alliterative title? – well partially alliterative. 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. You can’t doContinue reading “Free Book Friday”

Book Reviews
“Hey, Leon. You often talk about the importance of book reviews. Why don’t you post your reviews?”“I do.”“You do?”“I just said I did, didn’t I?”“I haven’t seen any here.”“I don’t post them here.”“Where are they?”“On my Goodreads page.”“Oh. OK. Where’s that then?”“I just told you.”“Gotcha.” I usually write something about the books I have readContinue reading “Book Reviews”

Short Stories: Minimalist Reading and Writing
I write like I read. I don’t like reading long, drawn-out descriptions of characters and settings, and I’ll often skim the paragraph for the essential points. Always? No, it all depends on the author. This is why, more than likely, that I primarily write short stories. A writer doesn’t have the luxury of pages toContinue reading “Short Stories: Minimalist Reading and Writing”

Thursday Thoughts: Re-Reads
There are many books that I have re-read. The mark of a good/great book is one that compels you to return for another go. There are many reasons for a re-read: You missed something the first time. I do this a lot. Usually it is because I read at night and I fall asleep andContinue reading “Thursday Thoughts: Re-Reads”
Thursday Thoughts: Writing
I’m going to take a few days off from writing here-I think. Unless something inspires me to craft something spectacular, I am going to spend some more time on my current project, a yet unnamed novel (or novella) based on a short story from my most recent book, The Knot at the End of theContinue reading “Thursday Thoughts: Writing”
Interview, Part II: Leon Stevens, Reader, Interviews Leon Stevens, Author
