I’ve been giving a lot of thought to writing and marketing my books. I’ll tell you; I much prefer writing over marketing. As an independent publisher, I have to split my valuable time between the two. It seems that at most times, the split is not even. Rather, the nod goes to marketing rather than…
My Quandary I’ve sat here, at my desk, or messing around the house trying to decide on what to write today. It’s not the Word of the Day. I can do that. It’s the My Take section that takes so much time. And right now, time is a commodity that is very expensive. So, I’m going…

Seems like a contradiction, doesn’t it? I don’t see it that way. Take for example, the quote I just found. “Working hard for something…

Merry Christmas On this day, around the world people are celebrating the holiday as is their custom in their native lands. I hope you remember the ones you are not with you on this special day. Whether they be protecting your country, on assignment helping to support their families or simply living afar, please send…
Season’s Greetings Wishing you and yours the very best time in this holiday season. I welcome your comments regarding your season’s memories or if you simply wish to share a season greetings to a loved one. I’ll be happy to share them with all of my followers.
Happy Holidays As I write another chapter for my next book, I am reminded just why we are all here on this planet.
