Books. Cats. Life is Sweet

"Books. Cats. Life is Sweet." So says the badge on Book Reader's Heaven, and if you click on the link (or the image), you just might find me over there today, opening the Bethlehem's Baby blog tour with a look at the difference between telling tales, telling stories, and telling lies. Leave your questions in the comments and we can enjoy a discussion on the difference between mythology, fiction, fact....

 and sheep and lambs, but no cats... This week's cats are all drinking coffee with their book reviews below:

THE MYSTERIOUS CAT: Quotes for Cat Lovers (Quotes from around the world) [Kindle Edition] by M. C. Moya (Author) is filled with fun and fascinating quotes to appeal to the all cats from the most jadedly docile to the most active tangler of threads. With quotes from all around the world, nicely organized by theme, and cleanly distributed on the page, this makes a really enjoyable coffee table kindle book to be enjoyed by cat-lovers everywhere. Brew some mild, light, crisp one-star coffee to share with this pleasing book.

 Ashley K. Williams' The History of Cats is a much more serious tome--fascinating history, but rather slow and convoluted reading. You might need a dark intense five-star brew to help find your way through this one.

Next is A day in the life of Noodles the cat [Kindle Edition]H. Siegel (Author), S. Yan (Photographer, a beautiful picture book to share with kid, and purr-fect for adult cat-lovers too with its gorgeous photos, gorgeous cat, and images of everyday feline fun. Enjoy this with a bright lively 2-star cup of coffee

And finally, More Fun with the Ginger Nuts, by Peter Brighouse, offers nice bright pictures with an interesting storybook adventure (two adventures in fact). Some formatting glitches might be a problem, but if you're reading aloud to your children it should offer plenty of bedtime story fun. Enjoy with a mild crisp one-star coffee.

And while you're thinking of bedtime stories, don't forget Bethlehem's Baby is now available on kindle, nook and kobo.

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

Who's Your Fantasy Bartender?

Today I'm delighted to welcome author E. Chris Garrison to my blog as she tours the internet with her wonderful Tispy Fairy Tales. I gather she's just returned from the Indianapolis Monument Circle of her books, where she met... well, I'll let her tell you... Welcome Chrissy. Having a Brew With a Fantasy Bartender By E. Chris Garrison Sometimes characters become fairly real to an author. We argue with them, trying to forward a plot while the character, in our mind's eye, pouts and stomps their feet, refusing to do as we say because it's not how they would handle the situation we put them in. We spend much mental effort putting ourselves in their places, to keep the characterization authentic and true to the vision we're trying to portray. But they have a way of taking on a life of their own. But some characters spend a lot of time in the background, more or less as plot devices, and it's harder to get to know them. So, I thought I
