My books have been pushed back(*Sob*) My first book which was supposed to come out next month is coming out this fall, instead. The last two will be next year. I'm not happy about it, but the books have to sparkle and be solid before you read them, so that's the way it has to be.
So I probably won't be on here for three months.
While I'm busy doing that, I'm also working on books for Kindle. I've read so much success from other authors I'm hoping to find that for myself. There is no place I'd rather be everyday than, working from home doing what I love, so that's where I've been for months. See you in March!

November News
Okay, where have I been? Well in September my computer was
not working, and the tech people waited until the next month to
even bother to come and fix it, and didn't do such a great job,
because I had to ask the computer tech guy at my job what
I should do!
As you can see, I am back. I'm going to be making a lot of
changes to this blog. My book reviews are just going to be
on the websites I post them, which are Amazon, Goodreads,
and Shelfari, when I do, you'll see a link here to take you
to the page.
I will be a published author in 2012. I've signed a three
book deal with Desert Breeze Publishing. My first book
will be out in February, the second in September. So I
am busy writing, editing, etc.
So this blog will be all about my books, and books I
read. As for the writers tips, I am waiting until I see that
the marketing and promotion strategies I use work well,
and then I will start a group, sell a course, I am not sure
what until 2012. So There you have it! I have to go, and
keep stopping back and see the changes.

Rapid Publishing
O.K. the promotion of my ebook series did not go as planned :( so I am trying again in September. I have a revised version of Rapid Publishing that will be on Kindle as well. Having said that, books 1-4 will go on this month, and the last three will be in September. Instead of buy one get two free, it is going to be buy one get one free from now on with any book of the series. The free book will always be a pdf, not a kindle or Smashwords book.
After this, I will no longer be doing nonfiction books for writers. I'm working a lot now on my fiction books, three which have be contracted, yes I'm going to be published! More on that as the details are finalized.

News And Reviews
Well, my 'launch' for Rapid Publishing didn't go as I thought it would. I am going to have to do much more planning ahead and tell more than just two or three groups of people. However, I did get one glowing review of the ebook, so I'm hoping for more later on. I will try again with the launch later this month when more of the ebooks are released. On the positive side, I have written a 3 book Christian fiction series that is going to be published! Yahoo!!! More on that, as things go under way. I have written a book review that you can check out anytime you want. Wreath by Judy Christie. I will try to put something on that page at least once a week. Twice when I have more time. Until next week....

Rapid Publishing Is Now On Kindle
I really must apologize. Rapid Publishing has been on Kindle since the last weekof June. I am just now getting together a marketing campaign. This is the first of a series of e-books for writers.
What is it About?
Rapid Publishing is all about getting your book, well, done quickly. Too many writers spend a long time writing their books. You can get your book completed in as little as a week, or a month with careful calculated planning. The first in this series will tell you how to read fast, write fast and get published fast and tools to use.
Who Is It For?
Originally I had intended this for people who want to self-publish, or for those who want to begin writing for profit. There are many priceless resources I have found just by being on certain mailing lists, or surfing online that will benefit published writers as well.
Where You Can Buy It
It is $2.99 on Kindle or you can buy it through Paypal and get the PDF for $2.99. Total Pages: 16

Rapid Publishing + Bonus Material
E-Book Profits-Why A Sample Chapter Can Send Your Profits Soaring!(Part Two)
And I continue with the ideas.....
* You could give the sample chapter with the full version of the product which is password protected. Readers who enjoy the test version and decide to go full length simply give credit card details through such as ClickBank and move to a ‘Thank You page’ which provides the password for the full book already in their possession. (Knowing the full length book is sitting there, tying up space on their desktop, just screaming out to be opened and read, is all the incentive most people need to get that password fast!)
* You could write an article based on your full length info product, but leave the reader dangling somewhere between casting the article to one side and buying your book.
Ways to do this:
- Leave questions in your article which are answered in the full length title. Make readers curious, give cryptic clues, leave the most vital information for Part Two – the paid-for product!
- Offer articles to editors and publishers of print and online publications and end with questions that are answered at your web site where readers can buy books related to the subject of the article.
- Get readers to subscribe to your eZine where you’ll answer those niggling
questions and in autoresponder follow ups you’ll promote your main book to the very limit of temptation!
* The free sample gives credibility in you and your writing ability. People know the book has - probably - already been written, and is of similar quality to what they’ve already sampled. If they have money and they like your work, they’ll buy. Probably!
* The sample chapter can include a contents listing for the full length version, where readers can check length (yes some people still believe quantity outshines quality) and you can induce sales with tempting chapter titles and snippets. It’s a good idea to give the page numbers on which certain highlighted features occur, especially where pages run into triple figures (again, never mind the quality, feel the width), and chapter headings are themselves deliciously vague. Like this:
“Here’s a sneak preview of ‘1001 Easy Ways to Get Rich Overnight!’
- How to live in a luxury home without having a mortgage and never having to pay a penny rent (Chapter Twenty Four, Page 201)
- The four letter word that gets you everything you want out of life, and more! (Chapter Twenty Five, Page 273)
- How to get a brand new car and drive it away without having to pay! (Chapter Twenty Six, Page 307)
- Four words that guarantee you free travel for the rest of your life! (Chapter Twenty Nine, Page 406)”
* People will retain your sample chapter far longer than they will normally keep a sales letter, especially of the printed variety or on a web site with a domain name they’ll soon forget. So although the majority of people will buy the full length product quite soon after receiving the freebie, you might still get a steady trickle of sales later when busy people find time to read your sample chapter.
Never forget the most common reason of all is to tempt readers of the free infoproduct to click on the link on the very last page where they find your order form and BUY YOUR BOOK!
