New release! Hallie's Cats coming July 31!

Hallie's Cats is coming July 31, 2009 from Ellora's Cave!

I am running a contest to win a FREE COPY of my new release on my website! Drop over to put your name into the hopper! Win a FREE copy of the book, or one of dozens of other great prizes!


I am amazed that I finally got this column uploaded!
I started trying to upload at 9:30 p.m. and it barely let me in at 2:02 a.m.!

Last week, a group of my pals and I blogged about the importance of various aspects of e-publishing. We had a seven-day run of e-pub advice for newbie authors, or those who wanted to get a start in e-publishing.

We have a co-op blog over at Six Sexy Sirens. We worked in unison with other blogs around the country in a series called "Left Behind and Loving It". There are some great bits of advice over there. Please feel free to go check it out.


I also want to put in a plug for cover trailers!

So many authors really want to have a book trailer, book teaser, or cover trailer made up, but don't have the money to spend for a professional job. I always say that one picture is worth a thousand words. Book trailers, if done well, can show off your work to its best advantage. And you don't have to spend a fortune to have one. Drop me an e-mail and I will happily point you in the right direction to either create your own beautiful video using FREE software and music, or I can walk you through making one. After the first one, it gets easy! This one took me an hour.

Hallie's Cats

So don't give up! And have a wonderful day!
