Read MoreICRS Wrapup, Photos and a Contest!
ICRS is over, but the memories remain. Wonderful interviews with authors, visits with friends, and new discoveries on products which I will be bringing to Writer…Interrupted soon. I’m still on vacation, but hopefully I’ll get some of the interviews, video, podcasts and photos uploaded starting on Saturdays in September. You won’t want to miss all…
Read MoreI Love Lucy and Georgiana Daniels’ Table for One!
Really I do! Lucy Brocklehurst is a quirky, lovable character with zany dating mishaps that make you really feel for her. She’s trying to make a living and pave a way in a male dominated field. As a Stockbroker she’s pretty good. In love and relationships, she needs some help! Then she meets the hot…
Read MoreICRS Day Two: Tuesday
I can hardly recall what happened Tuesday, but I’ll try! I showed up early so I could get out on the floor and check out all the booths. But the floor didn’t open until 9:30 and I had a 10:00. Yesterday I was only out on the floor for 45 minutes, but at least got…

It can lead to conflict without and within. In Joshua 22, the twelve tribes of Israel have settled in the Promised…
Read MorePerks of ICRS

How much time do you spend on promoting? That’s a question I ask myself periodically. Lately it has crept up again. Promotion for an author is becoming more and more important. But where do you draw the line? If you spend too much time promoting, that means you aren’t writing. How do you balance promoting…

Fun Fact: I met Dr. Gary Chapman at ICRS! It’s amazing how much confidence I have when I’m wearing a badge that says MEDIA. I saw Dr. Gary Chapman walking down the hall and went up to him, stuck out my hand, and introduced myself. I told him I was giving away his book on…
Read MoreYou must remember this…or maybe not
I found a link that may help when we’re writing to be more aware of the audience we’re targeting. My epiphany for the significance of frame of reference came one school year when I was discussing the assassination of President Kennedy. As a teacher, I know enough to realize when the eyes of everyone in…
