Run Tell That!

last week I received a wonderful gift in the mail from sister scribe, fellow blogger and all around fabulous chick, Wendy Coakley-Thompson. She sent me a copy of her latest book: TRIPTYCH - described as death and infidelity- straight up with an erotic twist.


What makes the book even more fabulous is that Wendy will be donating a portion of her net proceeds to organizations engaged in the fight against cancer. You know what to do, right? Spread the word and hit the button.

Corin Tellado; Spains most prolific novelist died last week at the age of 81. Tellado is listed in the 1994 Guinness World Record. Over a five decade long career Tellado published 4,000 books and sold over 400 million copies. All I can say is....damn.....

My last post was about rejection. As horrible as rejection can be, it does have its good points. for one, it increases your determination and it puts you in the company of a multitude of famous writers.

William Saroyan garnered 7,000 rejection letters before he sold his first story. Stephen King received 30 for Carrie, Margaret Mitchel, 38 rejections for Gone With The Wind and Richard Bach received 140 rejection for his now classic Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

I'm playing around with possible jacket art for Glorious -- what say you about this? Would it snag your attention in the bookstore?




Onward and upward y'all!

    The cover art looks good. I would suggest some color, though. I love your work!

    I don't love it either.

    The cover (art) would not persuade me to buy the book but I would only because your name would be on the cover and your work is marvelous and engaging and consistently so. Keep writing.
