Musings on The Depth of Beauty A-B-C

January 15, 2016

My new historical novel, The Depth of Beauty is now out in the world (on sale for just 99 cents here!) and already it's gotten great feedback.  I love the story because, apart from the romance, it contains a lot of fascinating material about the time period around the turn of the twentieth century. I've been sharing tidbits on my FB page  and I thought I'd collect them in bunches and share them on my blog: A IS FOR ANTIBIOTICS AND ANTISERUM The Depth of Beauty tells the story of a wealthy ...

NaNoWriMo – Yes or No?

November 1, 2015

NaNoWriMo has officially started, and I signed up just under the wire to begin on time. I’ve taken the national writing challenge for the last two years, and completed it both times.  Both efforts spawned the nucleus of what became (imho) really good books.  The Art of Love won a couple of writing awards, and the second, called The Depth of Beauty, will be released in January.

October 24, 2015

Ms. O’Hara was a classic movie star, known for countless leading roles.  She co-starred in swashbucklers with the likes of Errol Flynn, Tyrone Power, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr.  Holiday audiences enjoy her when they watch the perennial “Miracle on 34th Street.” She played the divorced mom in the original “The Parent Trap” with Hayley Mills and ...

WHAT I GOT FROM KINDLE SCOUT

October 20, 2015

First, let me be clear about what I didn’t get: a contract with Kindle Press.  Nope, I didn’t get enough votes to have my novel, The Depth of Beauty, promoted by that entity.  Was I disappointed about that? Sure.  For a while at least. I put a lot of effort (or so I thought) into the thirty-day campaign, and there’s no getting around it: when you set a goal and don’t reach it, that’s a bummer.  But here’s what I did get out of the experience: A marketing email that will be sent directly to ...
