A PLACE TO SHARE AND/OR PROMOTE BOOKS - SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE
Writing by Any Other Name
What do I have to work on? I'm writing the first book in a series of humorous (I hope) mysteries. I'm getting a couple of short stories ready for submission and searching for markets for five novels, three of which were previously published electronically. I would LIKE to find a place that would publish the electronically and on paper. I like digital publishing, but I'm tired of my friends and family asking me when I'm going to be REALLY published. It's hard to do signings for electronic books, too....
So what am I doing? Writing one of what I am sure are many posts about how one could get more writing done if one weren't writing a blog. Well, blogging is writing. Yeah. It is. Yeah.
I have another blog over yonder at WordPress, but I'm going to keep this one just about writing.
Until I have another chunk o' time,
ta-ta,

Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, IL
All over the news in our area is a horrific true story about unfeeling employees who actually dug up the remains of people buried at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois, dismembered them and hid them elsewhere. The bodies of some of these loved ones may likely never be recovered. This secretive scheme was done so the plots could be sold to others.My heart goes out to the families of these loved ones. For more about this travesty, here's the link to the story in the Chicago Tribune. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-090529-burr-oak-cemetery-pictures,0,2332072.photogallery
If it doesn't come up for you, just go to www.chicago.tribune.com.
This is the sort of thing you might read about in a horror story, but to think it actually happened in real life is dumbfounding. I wonder what makes people do such things. Is money that important?
Scary Hide and Seek Story
While listening to the radio this morning, I heard a story abut a little girl who was playing hide and seek. Nobody could find her because she had such a great hiding place. The family then decided to have their dog look for her. She was discovered safe and sound in a drawer under the dryer. I was glad to hear of the happy ending.Not to trivialize the event, but I can't help drawing analogies to what some authors do. They write great novels which remain hidden in great spots, like online, at distributors, in book catalogs. Nobody can find these books. That's because the authors don't market.
Writing takes time and effort, but so does promoting. Don't hide something you should be proud of. Get out there and let people know about it.
What about you? Do you write and hide it or do you promote? If you do promote, what methods do you use? Please share.

One More Time
I got the proof for Killer Career, and wouldn't you know it, I just had to find stuff that I wanted to fix. It'll cost me a bit more, but it's worth it not to be bugged about stuff I know is wrong. Okay, it's just little stuff, but little stuff sometimes means a lot.
So, a little more delay, a little more money, but hopefully all will end well. That's what matters.
It's no fun being a picky person. (G)

When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
