  The book trailer! If you sit down and research how to promote your writing in today's techno-web, you'll need medical attention. There are more words written on this than you'd ever care to read. As I have said before, there's plenty of great advice out there, and there is also quite a bit...

I write about dogs and cats in my "day job" but on the side in my so-called spare time I'm an actor. And now I've combined the two with my writing partner, OH-MY-HEAVENS-TO-MURGATROID!

    I know I'm writing a thriller, and I know the ending will have lots of action. And - sure - I want it to become a bloc buster movie and pay me accordingly. And - yup - this has always been a part of my mind set. But, it seems to be taking over. I'm looking around the container...

Stars of Wonder When I was a lot younger, I’d gaze at the movie stars.  I admired their beauty and wealth along with their performance in acting, singing, or dancing, that pleasantly entertained me.  However, I truly longed to know more behind the scenes.  I wanted to know the deeper...
