Authors, Think Outside the Bookstore

Treasure Fest on Treasure Island Whether you have a traditional publisher or are an indie author, you need to market your books. Unless you're a celebrity, publishers don't have much, if any, marketing budget. Indie authors need to do everything themselves unless they hire someone to do it for them. Many authors struggle with how … Continue reading Authors, Think Outside the Bookstore

Benefits of Writing Club Memberships

Today I was reminded once again of the many ways I have benefited from becoming a member of a writing club. I was selected as an alternate reader at the Art Embraces Words event at the Lafayette Library. I'm told there is a good chance I'll get to read an excerpt from my book, which … Continue reading Benefits of Writing Club Memberships

Book Signing Event – Railroad Book Depot

I'm so grateful for the independent bookstores, and all bookstores, since so many of them have been disappearing over recent years. I love the way walking into a bookstore is a feast for my senses. My eyes widen at the kaleidoscope of colors on the covers and spines of the books stacked on tables and … Continue reading Book Signing Event – Railroad Book Depot

The Wanderlust Gene

My Boots Above Machu Picchu, Peru Merriam-Webster defines wanderlust as a “strong longing for or impulse toward wandering.” This is more commonly known as a strong desire to travel.

Successful Book Launch!

I was a bit anxious. I wasn't sure if anyone would show up, or if I would remember what I was planning to say, or if people would laugh in the right places. My fears turned out to be unfounded, because I had a great turnout for my book launch party at Orinda Books, people … Continue reading Successful Book Launch!

Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta I thought this photo I took of the balloons flying into the air at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta was appropriate for my book launch post. I saw all of the work that was involved with getting the balloons to stand upright on the ground, let alone float into the sky. It's a … Continue reading Book Launch Day!

My First Blurb

The Green Monster I really enjoyed reading Kim Dinan's memoir, The Yellow Envelope, especially because, before she began her traveling adventures, she seemed to experience many of the same feelings I had before before I set off in The Green Monster for mine. Although Kim's journey took her to far-away continents and in a rickshaw … Continue reading My First Blurb

Escaping the Hamster Wheel

Have you ever felt fed up with running the hamster wheel and just wanted to escape, maybe hit the road for a while? I did. At the age of 45 I wasn't ready for retirement, but I was tired of commuting to my dead-end job in the expensive and crowded San Francisco Bay Area. I … Continue reading Escaping the Hamster Wheel
