A few years ago, I belonged to a local writers group. I'd just completed my first novel a few months prior and knew little nothing about the publishing process. The group was a mix of fiction and non-fiction writers, with a few writers who had self-published, a few writers who were in the midst of … Continue reading What Do You Really Think About Self-Publishing?

The Great Kindle Purge of 2014
I'll admit it--I'm a Kindle Hoarder. If I see an opportunity to download a free book, I'll eagerly hit that "Buy Now" button without stopping to consider I've already got 300 books on my Kindle which I haven't read. Well, that was 2013, folks. In 2014, I'm a new person. And, to prove it, I've … Continue reading The Great Kindle Purge of 2014

What a sad loss for the writing community. My heart goes out to Lindsey’s family . I’ve read several posts over the last two days, but this heartbreaking farewell by Sophie Tallis says more than I could ever hope to say.

Two days ago, I heard the shocking news that one of my dearest friends, Lindsey J Parsons, had suddenly and tragically passed away.![262888_2238622135240_4045698_n[1]](http://sophieetallis.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/262888_2238622135240_4045698_n1.jpg)
Shocking is the word…at a time when words seem to fail. I simply cannot believe it and I cannot understand it.
Lindsey was not just one of my closest internet friends, she was one of my closest real friends. We talked and laughed almost every day, messaging each other back and forth like a couple of idiots, just being daft on the internet. http://lindseyjparsons.com/
She was one of the first people I’d share my woes with. One of the few truly wonderful people on this planet.
