We cannot choose who we loveā€¦ So what happens if the one we love is bound by an ancient curse? Do we watch, walk away or do we become a part of the abomination?
magicians curseThis story by Linda Hill is about a Magician. But do not cast that ward of suspicion yet. For it is The Great Dagmaru, the magician himself, despite all his magic who is powerless before an ancient curse. But is the magician as blameless as you would like him to be?
In this day and age dominated by shape shifters, vampires, and werewolves the very premise of this book makes it a rare find.
If the character of the Magician seems too perfect, too flawless making you withhold your attachment there is someone for just for you dear reader- you might want to make your own and her name is Herman (yes she is a girlā€¦

I think that you have to decide what you are doing when it comes to blogging. Like anything in life you canā€™t always focus on two activities at once. You have the act of producing posts and you have the networking aspect of blogging that requires you to find ways to get people to care you exist. You mold your blogging methods according to the platforms you are on and the rules they decide to employ at any given time. At some point you decide you want to ā€œmonetizeā€ because everyone uses that word. If I had placed the word Monetize in my title I would haveĀ gotten 5,000 views from people looking for the next big secretā€¦ maybe I should go edit it.

I donā€™t use secrets or tricks when growing my blog. I simply network. I tried a few other platforms for boosting my numbers and the work neverā€¦

Meet Guest Author Linda G. Hill…

Chris The Story Reading Ape's Blog

Hi there. Iā€™m Linda, and Iā€™m an author. Itā€™s been a long, straight road since I wrote my first novel during National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in 2004. That particular piece of *ahem* literature still hasnā€™t seen the light of day, mostly because of how much Iā€™ve learned about writing since.

To back up a bit, my writing career began when I was four years old. I remember having one of my parents staple a stack of paper together so I could write a book. They encouraged me to just draw pictures, but I wasnā€™t having any of that. I wanted to tell a story. Unfortunately for them I could only spell the words ā€œIā€ and ā€œtheā€ at the time, so I bothered them unceasingly. Since then, Iā€™ve been writing in my head if not on paper or the keyboard. I canā€™t not do it. Itā€™s a part of me.

Ashes to Ashes on Sale Now!

New book alert! “Ashes to Ashes” is on sale today, and it looks like a great read! Check it out!

Valerie Thomas, Author

My new novelĀ Ashes to AshesĀ comes out today! To celebrate the release,Ā Iā€™m putting it on sale for 99 cents for a limited time. Pick up your copy now

From tragedy came power. And from mishandled power came mystery.

After moving into a new gated community with her family, Natalie is ready to begin a peaceful year at Emerson High. A year complete with boy troubles, school dances, new friendsā€¦ everything an average girl could expect.

Then she starts receiving notes warning her not to go to school November first. Notes in her day planner, on a piece of homework, on a homecoming ticketā€¦ The more notes she receives the more details she uncovers, and the clearer it becomes: words like peaceful and average are about the worst ones anyone could use to describe the year sheā€™s about to have. Crazy? Maybe. Violent? Definitely. Heart-wrenching, mind-blowing, life-changing?

Well, that remainsā€¦

Taming the Social Media Maze

ATTENTION AUTHORS: Here’s a new promotion/networking blog! Please go and give Josh a follow and sign up – and tell him I sent you!

Introvert PRESS

The Thought: Ā My social media footprint will bring readers to my book.

The Reality: You need to bring your social media footprint to your readers

The statements above may seem like a petty distinction; however, I believe this is why indie books get parked in a stagnant social media footprint. Think of that big footprint left behind by the T-Rex in Jurassic Park. This footprint is created: large, defined and impressive. Enter the monsoon rains (in this metaphor we will say the rains are the flurry of social media activity). The huge imprint fills up with rainfall, but instead of holding onto the rain, the footprint itself is washed away into obscurity.

WHY?

  1. 93.5% of your Facebook followers do NOT see your postings.
  2. unless you are using ā€œListsā€ on Twitter, you arenā€™t really utilizing Twitter
  3. vague titles will kill blog post readership
  4. lack of awareness of what days and hoursā€¦
