My Agent is Retiring and So What???!!



Holy Crap, have things changed in the span of one year or what?

Ok, I'm sitting here on my bed in my apartment in Italy that I rent once a

year, same as I've been doing every year for the past three Falls. Like

most of Italy, the ancient buildings are the same, the good natured

people are the same, the priceless works of art are the same, the old

recipes are still melt in you mouth, the Tuscan hills still damp from

almost daily rains, the olive groves lush with… Continue

Self-Published Sunday Jason McIntyre Shed

Question: if you follow this blog do you think I have read all of this author’s work? The correct answer is yes, yes, and yes again. What can I say; his incredible style and substance grew on me. I was a bit skeptical

at first because of the types of novels he wrote, the shocking, twisted type of

thing. He said maybe it isn’t my speed, but give one of his digital shorts a

go. I read Road Markers, loved it. Then I tried The Night Walk Men & On…

Self-Published Sunday Thomas White Justice Rules

I am consistently amazed at the quality of work that I am finding in the area of Self-Published authors. I think that is why this posting day has become so popular with our readers. And if I haven’t said it recently,

thanks for being a reader of this blog. It is nice to know I am not just

putting this stuff out there in a vacuum; there are some very nice people out

there. That being said here is today’s novel, Justice Rules. It is a thriller…

Digital short Saturday The Breaker Series: The Intro-Signed, Sealed, and Delivered

Welcome to what is becoming one of our most followed posting days, Digital short Saturday. I enjoy reading the digital shorts so much; it is a nice break in the weekly reading schedule. This week I found a gem and I wanted to highlight this one. The

Breaker Series is something that I stumbled onto this week on Smashwords. It

was released on Sunday and already this bad boy is making noise and waves on

many of their lists. This is one of the highest rated…

Police Snapshots for Novelists: Traffic Stops Are Deadly Business

A traffic stop for most motorists is an irritating experience: a red light flashes in your rear window and a police car trails behind with emergency lights flashing. You steal a glance at the speedometer and realized you just messed up. One moving violation ticket coming your way. Now… Continue

EBooks Don't Count

As part of my marketing strategy to promote the release of Night Shadows (January 15, 2011), I have contacted several colleges and universities respectfully inquiring about interest in a guest reader, or, as a professor at my alma mater suggested, putting on a workshop with some of the creative writing students, offering critique, and…

Heidi M. Thomas Cowgirl Dreams

To my great surprise this one was a scorcher; I am going to say that right off the bat. I want to get right to the synopsis so I can give my thoughts on this afterwards; I think it will make more sense that way.



“Defying family and social pressure, Nettie Brady bucks 1920s convention with her dream of becoming a rodeo star. That means competing with men, and cowgirls who ride the rodeo circuit are considered loose women.

Addicted to the…

I have a publisher!

Okay, it's not a mystery... although several crimes are committed. All This and Family, Too has been accepted for publication by Pill Hill Press.

My manuscript is currently undergoing edits and will be coming out in 2011, the sooner the better as far as I'm concerned.

Clive Owen is going to die

British actor Clive Owen, star of box office hits like “Sin City,” “Elizabeth: The Golden Age,” and “King Arthur,” is expected to die, according to people familiar with death.


The 46-year-old heartthrob, famed for his slightly nasal London twang, lusterless delivery and not being as good as co-star Julia Roberts in “Duplicity,” is in apparently good health, but death experts tell “The Man of Twists and Turns” that he will probably be tragically dead by…

Author of ENEMIES AMONG US and THE LAST UNDERCOVER

I admit to being a country and western fan. As an author who pens 300-plus page books I admire writers who can tell their story in a two or three minute song. For James Otto’s latest CD,…
