Thanks for reading and posting this Rebecca! So very kind. I had never considered that description of my book. I may use it!!

The hard truth is that no one will read your book unless they can see it. We have limited reach on social media. I'm a no one from nowhere, and unless I advertise, I will have few sales. But...choose wisely HOW you advertise. And with whom. THAT is the real learning curve.

I nominate Timothy Robare for the pulitzer prize! It's so sad we should even have to make the argument that AI should not be used in contests, etc.

Since it is the Christmas season, it's time to bring out my favorite non-fiction book. It is by far my most successful, and is still in print. People have such mixed feelings about Christmas. This book explains what Christmas is about. Hope it helps!

Free author advice: Sometimes the best thing you can do for your writing is to take care of the "to do" list that you're ignoring All those things take up space in your memory, undone tasks, each weighing you down a bit. Clear the cache once in awhile. It helps.

I used to struggle to fall asleep. Then I began to read before I went to bed. It helped a lot. Later my wife read to me in bed, and that helped even more (she stopped reading when my breathing became slower)!! Now...I can't wait to go to bed and read.
