    Adventures in Publishing Fiction

    Well, after 10 months and 40, yes, 40 books sold, I guess I can add my first try at marketing romance novels as a failure. I haven't figured out a solution yet but this is what I DID do... ... I advertised on every online romance site ... I did chats and guest blog posts on every online...

    Which Online Contest To Promote?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm posting this here because I really need an eBunny(or more)'s opinion on this. Breach Of Trust, my first romance, got nominated for Romance (or Contemporary Romance) of the Year on two sites. Both require Readers Choice voting for the final choice. One is Yahoo Loop voting which means...

    Photo Duplicate Content

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Junior jammer question here... I know you're not supposed to have duplicate content (a no-no for Google) but if you use the same source URL for a photo, can you use it multiple times on a site? The photo would be hosted on only one URL but appear on different pages. Thank you in advance...

    Leadership And The Sexes - A Must Read

    I was asked to review Leadership And The Sexes by Michael Gurian and Barbara Annis I groaned a bit because I expected a heavy scientific snoozefest. I certainly didn't expect it to change my life. I thought I knew a lot about men. I have three brothers, male best friends, a hubby...

    Advertise Or Not

    I have two novels coming out next year. If the economy continues to worsen, sales will be dismal (readers are unlikely to take a chance on a new author when there are so many proven romance authors out there). Novels fall into the luxury goods basket. So I have two choices... I could cut...

    A New VCR

    FUNNY 
    I talked to my Mom on the weekend and she said she needed a new VCR for Christmas (one of those subtle Mom hints). Why? Because she'd set it to tape her favorite shows and then it would 'switch' to a business channel. Maybe I would like it because I like watching the business channel. I...

    Upgrading Commenting In Blogger.com

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    One of my group writing blogs uses Blogger.com as a platform. As a normal Wordpress user, I HATE the comment system. I need the ability to collect emails during contests. What add-on do you reco to do this with? (I'm thinking HaloScan but since I'm no techie...) Are there any other issues I...

    How NOT To Ask For Financing

    I just got off the phone with a fellow looking for business financing. He started off with "Hi Kim, remember me? This is XXX We met at the national broadcasters convention and you mentioned you had some financing connections." (I've helped entrepreneurs pitch to V.C.'s and angel investors)...

    Is It A Weakness?

    MINDSET 
    I met a copywriter today. He specializes in radio promotions. He is very young and very, very good, well on his way to being one of the best. He is also blind. Nope, that is not a handicap, that is a strength. He is 100% focused on spoken communication, every word, every nuance...

    The Frugal Duchess By Sharon Harvey Rosenberg

    First off, no, it is not written by Russ' Sharon (grinning) though I'm sure she has a book in her too. Second, yeah, I am biased. I'm featured on page 8. But then almost every personal finance blogger is featured and quite a few experts in other fields. Sharon is a reporter (now for...

    Lovin' It In An Interview

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Was just reading a book on landing a job targeted to new grads (Ditch The Flip-Flops by Sylvia Landry) and one of the do NOT use words in an interview was "LOVE" as in "I love accounting." Huh? As one of my fave words, and usually the one I use to nail any interview (or other sales call), I'm...

    How To Disappear

    http://www.rwamysterysuspense.org/2008murder1jun.html I took this $30 course a couple of years ago when I was writing my identity theft novel (Invisible - February 2009). Slammin' information. Basically it is an online Q&A with one of the world's top skip tracers. He also provides...

    MJ's Evil Car Plan

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Having been in the Lexus Fastlane post category for a while, when the hubby asked a week ago what type of car I'd like, Lexus was the first brand to pop into my head (I do like the car - very boxy). So we bought a Lexus on the weekend (used, of course). Now, with a few more posts, I'm in the...

    Security Breach

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Oh, man, I simply had to share this. I was laughing my head off. This morning all employees received this from the head of corporate security. "Hello: We have just had a situation in which an employee allowed a homeless person access to the 5th floor through the west elevator corridor door...

    The Entrepreneurial Kid

    OFF-TOPIC 
    How do you encourage future entrepreneurs? It can be as simple as letting a kid shovel your driveway. Yesterday we had a snow storm. This morning a kid (I'd say about 14 years old) knocked on our door, asking if he could shovel our driveway. My first instinct was to say no, we could do it...

    Appropriate Thank You Gift Amount For Guest Speaker

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm organizing guest "speakers" for a writing loop. The guest will do Q&A by email for 2 weeks. What do you believe is the appropriate thank you amount? The board is suggesting $50 but that's sounding low for 2 weeks.
