Celebrate Independent Bookstore Day with Bookshop.org
This Saturday is Independent Bookstore Day!
If you're an indie author looking to show love to indie bookstores, now's your chance to remind your readers that buying your ebooks and Print-on-Demand books through Bookshop.org supports their local bookstores.
Most indie authors aren't getting the most out of print-on-demand.
Jo Wildsmith helps authors turn manuscripts into something polished and ready to use print to its fullest potential.
Join us live for a chat with Jo on Thursday at Noon Central!

I want each and every one of us to reach our writing goals on the year. Make a decision to make it so for yourself.
What your goals are is up to you. You are not in a race with anyone but yourself and your time left alive. You are in a race with your procrastination and excuses.

New scam today!
An email, apparently from the Press Association, saying I've used their images without permission and owe them lots of money.
It looked REALLY convincing - I initially thought it was genuine and they'd made a mistake in thinking I'd used the images in question.
No, I'm not a new writer. Been writing for 20+ years, and have had short fiction and non-fiction published in that time. 🙂
Do you like a touch of spookiness in your stories? #Booksky
