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...

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....
