Does a bookshelf full of books still bring warmth and comfort to you, or is becoming something that takes up space and collects dust?  I am a book lover and never like to be far from my books, or go anywhere without a book or two in tow. But as I’ve shared in recent posts, [...]

I have purchased and downloaded audio books on a number of occasions and listened to them with my husband.  What I wasn’t aware of, because I didn’t bother to take the time to look, is the fact that there are many books available for download that are public domain, no longer under copyright restrictions. I [...]

Today I was browsing current status posts by Facebook friends, and came across one by a friend who went to school for a while with my daughter many years ago. She’s a young woman now, and loves to write about things that interest her, including books. It takes time to read a book and give [...]

My sister just shared this fun little art meets writing “project”…and I’m thinking it might be fun to be part of. You pay a reasonable fee, have a blank book with a unique barcode on it sent to you, fill the book with writing and art (if I’m understanding correctly) then you send your book [...]

I am listening to a review right now [...]

I can’t seem to get away from thinking “medical” when I post to my blogs after our experience with our son in the hospital last week.  So when I came upon a site called http://www.medicalmags.com/ or “MedicalMags”, how could I resist visiting? There are quite a few publications available at the site that would be [...]

I came across an article written by a gentleman who seems to have an understanding of publishing companies, what they offer and how they operate. I am sharing one of his articles with you, and leaving his links in the article as requested so that you can look into help he may have to offer. [...]

Yesterday I noticed that a couple of my internet friends belong to an online network called “Book Event Center“, so I decided to join. This looks like a good place to share book reviews, inform others and gain support for an upcoming book event, and meet and make friends with other authors. You can interact [...]
