Intricate plotting is probably more necessary in a spy novel than in any other story and The Killing Ploy has it in spades.

While there are many characters including the good, bad and ugly, CIA agent Pablo de Silva is our main man as he journeys from Langley, to San Diego, Tijuana, London, Paris, Brussels and Vienna in pursuit of an American-born jihadist who might be preparing to raise the body count in his war against America.

Unbeknownst to Pablo and while he thinks he is…

What does it mean to be “middling”? The Merriam-Webster dictionary describes it as being of “middle, medium, or moderate size, degree, or quality”. In other words, average. In this charming illustrated book for children and adults, local author R.S. Vern explores the middling life through the eyes of Haee, a…

How does one leave a middling – that is, average – life behind? And what does an unconventional existence look like?

In the second installment of a three-part series, local author R.S. Vern explores these questions and continues the story of Haee, a cat which is pretty average in every…

Because my Pazuzu Trilogy, and every other bleeding thing I've written, has been rejected by publishers and agents – by way of no %$#@-ing reply, ever – I went the self-publishing route. You know, they were right and my writing needed all kinds of major operations. For example, there has been Nine revisions of this three-headed dog. Hell, when this thing was born, it refused to die…

I have been involved in hunting up a new web host, working with an author editing his book, Jihad Genocide, writing press releases, and promoting his book via Myspace, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, and my other social media sites.

I am also working hard learning marketing on my own.

I continue writing book reviews and posting them on Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, Powell's Books, and my book blog (…

As the newsboys used to holler out, "Get it here! Get it here! Late breaking news!"

But there is no late-breaking news. Only an edition of my interactive newsletter filled with tips for promoting, editing, and the craft of writing. No articles. Just tips.  The first was so popular I brought it back, as they say, "by popular demand."  It only comes out once or twice a year. So, I guess it is still news. (-: 

It's a perfect time to subscribe to get these letters…

I just shouted to the world how exciting it is to be recognized by iFOGO for nothing more than being here, belonging. This is what they did for one of my books today. http://ifogovillage.ning.com/?xg_source=msg_mes_network  As they say, "randomly selected."  I have to say, it means so much to get a surprise like this, too. 

I might also mention that the 3D image of The Frugal Book Promoter cover (…

You’ve taken the initial steps to begin your book marketing journey. The first rung on your marketing ladder is to create a quality product, in the case of an author, that would be a book. You need to create an engaging story, be part of a critique group, make sure the manuscript gets edited/proofread, and have a knock-out cover.

Creating the book might be considered Research and Development under the Marketing umbrella, and the foundation of a marketing…
