"Yes Zetta,
some things change and some don't. I LOVE the way on my self-published Amazon Kindle books (my last 3 of my 18 novels were self-published) that I can follow the sales EVERY DAY...it's like MAGIC! And to think...I (all of us…"

"Ah, how well I remember returns and tiny royalties from the 1980's with my Leisure and Zebra paperbacks. They sold the paperbacks for $4.50-$5.99 and I got a whopping 4% and then 6%. Wow...about $.14 cents a book!!! I hated the return…"

"Thanks Megan...I follow J.A. Konrath's Blog. I learned everything about self-publishing from him. He sells like hotcakes. But, yes, he has a series or three. I already know that the next book I write will be a sequel to Dinosaur Lake. So…"

"Megan,
you said: "But your other books were published years ago, and you are republishing them as ebooks, right? Do you think the content could be outdated compared to Dinosaur Lake? How did they sell when they first came out?" Hmmm. Yes,…"

Profile Information
- Who I am:
- About Kathryn Meyer Griffith...
Since childhood I’ve always been an artist and worked as a graphic designer in the corporate world and for newspapers for twenty-three years before I quit to write full time. I began writing novels at 21, over forty years ago now, and have had fourteen (nine romantic horror, one historical romance, one romantic suspense, one romantic time travel and two murder mysteries) previous novels and eight short stories published from Zebra Books, Leisure Books, Avalon Books, The Wild Rose Press, Damnation Books and Eternal Press.
I’ve been married to Russell for thirty-four years; have a son, James, and two grandchildren, Joshua and Caitlyn, and I live in a small quaint town in Illinois called Columbia, which is right across the JB Bridge from St. Louis, Mo. We have two quirky cats, ghost cat Sasha and live cat Cleo, and the four of us live happily in an old house in the heart of town. Though I’ve been an artist, and a folk singer in my youth with my brother Jim, writing has always been my greatest passion, my butterfly stage, and I’ll probably write stories until the day I die.

Working on my memoir, I've turned to many, many (many many, too many) books with tips on how to get started, organized, and inspired. I also read a lot of what other authors say about the process and will share quotes here, as well. I'll begin…See More
