My Beautiful Map of Port Royal and Kingston Jamaica
My beautiful map of Port Royal and Kingston Jamaica, for my soon to be new writing room, "Peggy's Cove." This map is dated 1772. Of course it isn't the original but it's beautiful. Check out a little history on the tragic Earthquake that destroyed a great deal of Port Royal in 1692. I chose …

Page One – Chapter One – Demons and Jade – The Ivory Razor Adventure Series
I'd like to take a poll but better yet, I'd like to see your comments on the first page of my work in progress; Demons and Jade. All I want to know (I suppose) is, if you read this first page, would you want to keep going. (?) I realize this is a dangerous experiment …

5 Easy Steps to Successfully Write, Publish and Promote Your Book!
I hit reblog too soon and didn’t get to add my comments. 🙂

Books: Publishing, Reading, Writing
OR … How I Nearly Became an Overnight Success After My Forty Year-Apprenticeship in the Book Business!
If you read my bio you’ll realize I have worked with books and authors in one way or another for most of my life. I have experience as a bookseller, a publishers’ sales rep, a promoter (a self-styled Author Impresario!), a speaker, a student of writing, editing and publishing, a published author, and a publisher of my own and other authors’ work. I’ve been writing this blog on-and-off for almost ten years, and have discussed the book business here, made friends with like-minded authors and readers, networked and reached many other people in the business, made many friends and connected with even more colleagues, have shared a great deal of information I discovered over the years on the topics of Publishing, Reading, and Writing (hence the name of this blog …), followed and…
