I'm elated to find that I am not the only one being moved by music this morning. Yes, it's only nine am here in Maryland USA but I woke up singing this morning and now I'm singing in my head. I wouldn't want to run off my cube mates now would I? I'm not sure …
AUTHORS – When was the last time you?
We authors are so busy busy busy! However, do not ever allow yourself to be too busy to give thanks to those who read your work and take time out of their busy schedules to not only read your work but review it as well.
Said THANK YOU to a reviewer and clicked the LIKE button under their review?
The means to do both is provided by Goodreads and Amazon!
Authors often complain about the lack of reviews for their Bestselling Stories, but how many of you interact with readers who DO leave their reviews?
Having received thank you’s and/or messages from authors about my short, simplistic and unprofessional (but honest) reviews myself, I know how nice it feels (and I deal with authors on a daily basis!).
It may encourage them to read at least one more of your books!
Likewise, when Amazon sends me an email to notify me that someone has advised that my review helped them, (they had clicked the LIKE button under it), it pleases me and it’s not always, or only, the author who does so.
AVOID making comments or taking up arms against unfavourable reviews – read

Seumas Gallacher is an inspiration to indie writers in so many ways. He’s honest, funny and has more knowledge of this industry than I could ever hope to learn. However, you can now have access to his plots and schemes! Check it out!

Thank you Elizabeth McKenna for having me and my books on your blog today.
Book Review: Fireflies and Hope from the Ocean by P.S. Bartlett
Thank you Bound 4 Escape for your lovely and honest review.
Old Kilcullen Round Tower and Graveyard, Co. Kildare.
Mentioned greatly in my latest novel. Although I may not return to it in my next, I continue to find more and more research and interest in this ancient place.
The term ‘rich in history’ is bandied about all too often however today is the day to cash in my chips and write about this incredibly beautiful site that played a huge role in 1500 years of Irish history. The first recorded mention of an ecclesiastical site at Old Kilcullen comes from 488AD when St Patrick was said to have assigned a bishop named Mac Táil to the monastic settlement. The site is beautifully situated on a small hill overlooking the Kildare countryside, although the walled churchyard appears to be the extent of this site aerial and ground surveys have shown that the site extended outside of these boundaries. The settlement was attacked by the Vikings at least twice in 936AD and 944AD. At the time, and according to the Annals of the Four Masters, a thousand people were taken as prisoners which exemplifies how important Old Kilcullen was. These attacks subsequently led to the building…
