Writers who have a dedicated website.
How many of you use your domain email?

If you want to be taken seriously as a writer, stop using free email services and start using your own domain email.

It will also lend credibility to you as an author and maybe direct people to your website.

I tried to keep Jake and Heidi platonic best friends. But they wanted more.
#MadisonCTWip
#PaintingGhosts

So Heidi made the first move.

I lose again. The last manuscript I wrote I wanted to explore an opposite gender best friendship and my characters rebelled then as well.

Looking for a spiritually redeeming book to read, one with tragedy that ultimately ends with triumph?

Look no further than George Gdovin's Memories, Memoirs and Miracles

It's always amazing to see my books on other book shelves but it's even more so when that other book shelf happens to be on Block Island seeing as though Arrivals and Departures takes place there.

A friend snapped this while he rented a house on Block Island last week.

So gratifying to see.

You know what the best feeling is about being a published writer who is trying to build an audience?

It's when people I don't even know come up to me at the library and ask when my next book is coming.

It happened three times today.

All the books I have stories in.
Arrivals and Departures, Random Acts and Taking Off a Coat are entirely made up of stories I have written.

Treasures from the Shell Heap and Automobilia are anthologies where I am one of many authors.

Amazon Author Sales Question:
When I visit my Amazon Author page for reports and marketing to see my sales I see a disclaimer that says (Excludes Kindle and other eBooks).

Does anyone know how to find that info? How many kindle sales we have had?

I’ll be sharing this across my socials.

I'm always fascinated by what draws people to a particular subject.

I understand finding an editor is personal as well as professional, that both of you have to connect on a personal level as well.

Let me introduce my editor. Tim Jacobs at
www.jacobswc.com

Tim is amazing.

I highly recommend looking how up. Talk to him. See if he's a fit for you.
