If you self-publish, be aware that you have multiple choices. No longer do you have to feel limited to use Amazon (KDP) Publishing. While I still use KDP for print and eBook, I also incorporate Ingram Spark and recently, Draft2Draft.

Never heard of Draft 2 Draft Digital? Here’s a few things that make take them over the top.

Since I’m an author, my heart goes out to Tom, whose publisher went into foreclosure, leaving him and all his books in limbo. So, here I am, trying my best to assist a fellow writer in getting the word out regarding how to purchase any of the books in his collection. As you will see in the video, he’s currently surrounded by approximately 4000 hardcovers and paperbacks (poor kitty)! I’m sure he’d like to get his house back in order, so maybe, just maybe, you can help him out of his dilemma, while treating yourself to some new reading material.

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, where the hell have you been?

No excuses, but I’ve been so preoccupied with editing projects that I haven’t had the time or the inclination to post. After working eight to ten hours per day, I couldn’t muster any more energy. So there. That is my excuse!

I’m nearing completion of Project Earth by Jay Fiondella, and I’m proud to say that it’s a top-notch book with lots of promise. If you’re a sci-fi fan, I think this will be to your liking. Look for a publication date in early April.

I’ve read numerous books regarding 16th century British history, but this one stood out among the rest, because I discovered some fascinating facts about the Scottish ruler. While many of us are familiar with Mary, and her ongoing “feud” with Queen Elizabeth I, one thing I formulated was that Mary never stood a chance, dealing with the religious wars between Catholics and Protestants, feuds among locals in Scotland, including Mary’s half-brother Moray, and politics abroad, with emphasis on England and Queen Elizabeth’s chief advisor, the duplicitous and conniving William Cecil.
