Yes, again, I’ve talked about them before. That’s because I really like them. This is what they don’t do: They don’t pass on your details Once you signed up you can never leave.

Welcome July – Booming June!
Hello to July indeed—where has the year gone? This time last year, we were preparing for a gruelling July: a daily ninety-mile round trip for my hubby’s radiotherapy treatment.

Karen’s Chat – I’m an Eclectic Person

Reblogged – DROP the term ‘INDIE AUTHOR’
Now there is a thought. I probably don’t use the term much anymore more, but I still think it. Now I’ve read this article, it’s made me realise how it is now redundant. In the early days while we authors were still finding our feet and learning to publish, it was a very much used… Continue reading Reblogged – DROP the term ‘INDIE AUTHOR’
Teaser Thursday – Finding Amanda.
Recently I’ve come across authors using tropes. It’s a great way to use imagery to explain what a story is about. Along with a specially selected excerpt, it’s a perfect way for readers to see at a glance what the story is about. I’m a prolific reader, and I’ve enjoyed seeing these. It’s’s resulted in… Continue reading Teaser Thursday – Finding Amanda.
