Best Free Video Platform for Book Trailers

Experimenting with various free video platforms to be used for book
trailers. This one is OK, but there is no option for no music or to
include links. Therefore, this is not a recommendation, simply an
experiment. Take a look anyway:

Interview with author Steven Manners

Last night (April 22), I went to the Yellow Door to hear author Steven Manners, one my former mentors, read from his latest novel Valley of Fire. I was piqued by the passage he read, so I bought his book. It tells the story of John Munin, a rational and gifted psychiatrist who believes that the soul and psyche are interesting only in dissection. Penelope is Munin's star patient. She suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and is particularly susceptible to Munin's searching analysis. Munin… Continue

The Story Behind Flaherty's Crossing

I'm often asked about the story behind Flaherty's Crossing and to be honest, it's not an easy one to tell. My father was a hard-working Irishman who aside from expecting dinner on the table promptly at 5pm never had much to share or complain about. There were disappointments, of course, since money was often tight. But my dad was content working his blue-collar job, reading the nightly newspaper, watching sports, and visiting occasionally with neighbors. My only interaction…

online book publicist

With the Holiday book-buying season on our doorstep, online publicity efforts are more important then ever. A Search Engine Optimized Website will increase the number of target-marketed visitors / book buyers, enhancing the profitability of your Internet efforts. Due to the highly ephemeral nature of Search Engine Marketing, once your title is not within the TOP 10 listings of major Search Engines, your online exposure is essentially six feet under.
