Read what you want
and don’t let anyone shame you for what you like to read. Not all books are for everyone. We will not all love or hate the same books. Isn’t that fantastic? We should have a lot to discuss. Here on our little bit of the world we celebrate books and all sorts of readers. In…

Why Bother?
We recently read an article that said the average income for a published author is less than 10k a year. If you factor in that Ebooks are easily pirated and copyrighted material is easily duplicated, the average income drops significantly.

Do you read?
Do you read? Books are all the things you’re thinking of right now. Books are movies in your mind’s eye while you are reading.

Day 46
Sometimes I feel like I am floating in a sea hanging on a life preserver. I am not alone. Everywhere I look there is another author floating by on a boat, raft, kayak, or yacht. We are all clambering to get to the land of readers. Some maliciously pushing each other off their vessels and…

Day 44
Packed 24 boxes of books today and we are not even half way through our collection. Relocating is a lot of work and stress. Good stress and necessary work. Toss in a full time day job and maintaining a full time writing career on top of relocating. Can I just say that I am exhausted?…
