Connor's Story | Life with Tourette Syndrome

Posted on May 21, 2011 at 7:00am 0 Comments

Over the last few weeks, I've been working on a rather personal project: Connor's Story - a video that shares the experiences of my nephew as our family participates in Tourette Awareness Month.

 

You can view the video and report here:

If you would take a few minutes to watch it, it would mean a lot to our family.

A conversation with my daughter

Posted on April 11, 2011 at 11:36am 0 Comments

After today's "Genre Gender and Race A Panel Discussion", I brought the topic up with my teen-aged daughter. She laughed at the concept of segregating books and quipped,"Your 'white' book can't be shelved near my 'black' book!"



While I find the idea of book segregation ridiculous at best, I can see where certain readers might find the practice leads to easier navigation in a bookstore. Even after admitting that fact, I can't help but wonder if, in a situation such as this, the…

An amazing find!

Posted on March 24, 2011 at 6:31pm 0 Comments

Its probably silly to get so excited over a post card, but given my current avenue of research, this is amazing!

 

 

This postcard featuring a haunted oak tree was printed in 1905. Its very similar to a photograph I took of a haunted oak along a path just a couple years…

I'm just getting experience in publishing on Kindle, but it definitely says somewhere that there can be a delay in getting a new cover up. I made some changes to my text, not my cover, and it took 24 hours for them to show…

Hey Tamara - thanks much for the much-needed group; I too will share phat links that come along. One of our She Writers (Jennifer Lauck) just created a fan page for an upcoming book because her publisher thinks social media is a must (!) and a slew of other SWers are exchanging links to their own FPs. Another SWer (E.Victoria Lynn) thought of this: "An idea here--maybe someone could start a discussion or blog post regarding Facebook Fan pages, or start a group to Promote them so we don't have to fill up the inboxes. What do you think?"

What do you think - do you have time for this? If yes, let me know how I can help. If no, I'll jump in. -------sd
