Refracted on Amazon !!!!!

My eBook, Refracted, just went on sale on Amazon! That's so cool! Well, it feels pretty cool to me anyway. I'm looking at the picture and my thoughts are refracting and darting in different directions. Thank you, thank you Gypsy Shadow for putting it there.

Second Wind Publishing's mystery anthology, Murder in the Wind, is on Amazon too, with my story, Jack, lurking inside. I just bought my copy at last and can't wait to read it.

And three of my Bible story books are there too (though you have to go to Lulu for more Bible fiction):

Christmas! Genesis to Revelation in 100 words a day goes through the Bible in full-color bite-sized pieces with one story for each day in December, Easter! Creation to Salvation in 100 words a day includes mini-meditations as well, telling tiny Bible stories all through Lent, and Genesis People is a book of three-minute read-aloud childrens' stories bringing some of those familiar and less-familiar characters to life from the Book of Genesis. (Do you know who Katurah was?).

Okay, lots of shameless self-promotion there, but hey! I'm excited. I'm really, really excited! (Can you tell?) My first real publication's just gone on sale on Amazon! I can't help dancing round the room just a little bit, and adding lots of exclamation marks to my post!

Thanks everyone. I'm not really sure who made the cover, Bearman, but Gypsy Shadow certainly seems to have some cool cover pics. And I'm glad you like the puzzle Mary. Gypsy Shadow gave me that idea too.

How to Connect those Connections

Taken from a talk I gave on Sunday at the Writers' Mill. This is a very low-level approach to getting connected, from one beginner to another... Internet Writing, Marketing and Networking If you’ve got an email address you’re on the internet. If you’ve got a book out or an article in a magazine, you’re into marketing. If you’ve got friends, you’re networking. And if you use Google, you can do almost anything. Google Google is your friend. Google “how to join facebook” “How to join goodreads” “How to join Twitter” etc… Google “facebook badges” “blogger widgets” etc… to spice up your pages. Anything you want to know, a nice simple question to google will almost certainly tell you. But keep safe . Don’t just click on the first link you see. Make sure it looks vaguely genuine. “F*@!book.com/badges” might take you somewhere you don’t want your computer to go. “Facebook.com/badges” tells you all about badges. Why would you want to join all these interne...

Eternal curse might hide a blessing too.

Today is the official launch day for Toi Thomas's paranormal romance, Eternal Curse, and I was lucky enough to be offered a free preview copy some while ago. The novel creates an intriguing mythology of angelic beings and the Fall, binding it nicely to modern day characters in search of meaning for their lives. There's an interesting blend of the paranormal, faith and science, and the story has a nicely old-fashioned feel with separate underlying tales taking center stage on the way to resolution. So... here's the cover, the blurb, and my review: ABOUT THE BOOK 'You have plenty of time to change your mind. You have not yet seen the monster I can be.' Giovanni has been waiting his whole life to meet someone like Mira, someone from the outside world who might be able to help him. He wonders if there really is help for him as he continues to hold tightly onto dark secrets and even darker memories. Giovanni wants to be hopeful and he wants to accept Mira...

Author or transcriber, reader or visitor, greatest or least? Meet Kathryn Elizabeth Jones

Image
 Today I'm delighted to welcome Kathryn Elizabeth Jones, author of " I walked with Jesus ," to my blog. I very much enjoyed her short stories retelling miracles from the life of Christ - we clearly have faith and short fiction in common with each other.  I loved how historical, real, and relevant Kathryn's stories felt. You can find my review here:  https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4904771188 . I'd love to meet the author and chat in person, but inviting her to my blog is the next best thing, so I asked her to let me and you how she finds her audience. Here's what she told me. Why I think my audience is beginning to find me by  Kathryn Elizabeth Jones One of the hardest things to do as an author, other than writing or marketing a book, is to find that often illusive audience. It’s easier with mysteries or children’s picture books, probably because you know who reads them; adults and teens who love sleuthing and children and their parents who love reading....
