You have a point, there. I can't imagine Michael Caine as General Patton. I could see him as General Montgomery, though.
I like the statements above. First of all, they acknowledge that there is an element of luck in the situations we find ourselves, good and bad luck, but that what we do ultimately circles right back to us. Slowing down and assessing and doing an att…
You ARE cute! Did you get the book? It looks like Amazon has seen fit to reorder instead of listing "only one left in stock." but they play games. I worry about it since the book has been in print for two years now.
They pay every month with a three month delay. They do not tell you which websites or distributors bought your book. They give an overall accounting of purchase prices minus cost of printing.
Hi all. I have enjoyed reading about the experiences of others. I have self-published three novels and have a fourth WIP. The Gibbs Company of Ridgeland, MS, has done the design and layout work for all three, which were then printed in hardcover by…
Thanks. How often does Lightning Source pay, and do they tell you what website the sales occurred?
You can't precisely. Your payment comes through Lightning Source and they don't specify. I can tell when someone buys books from Amazon because my rank # becomes lower. The book has been out now for two years so I do the dance of joy when it takes a…
I also used Lightning Source for my book. They did a great job. I am registered with Ingram, Barnes and Noble.com and Amazon.com through them. How do I track sales from these places?

Review of "Perilaus," a novel by Mark P. Henderson
What is worse than spending your life in prison atoning for your crime of passion? Living with it. Facing it every day. Drinking to obscure the memory and banish the ghosts. If you are a writer there is an alternative, but it means losing your mind in the process.
“Perilaus” by Mark P. Henderson, is a story of transference on a level previously found only in a psychiatrist’s nightmare, an intricate and beautifully woven tapestry of rationalization and longing gone mad as the writer becomes trap… Continue

From A BAKER'S DOZEN by Mari Sloan
A BAKER’S DOZEN

MARI SLOAN
Introduction
My heart is racing, adrenalin is surging through my body. Time is getting away from me. Every possible avenue of escape has been examined. I look to the right; look to the left, the crisis point is now. Time to start typing.
The topic is a mind-buster. One hour to write a story from start to finish and send it out. Will the words come this time? Is my idea original? Has this been done before? It’s fifteen minutes and counting. Muse don’t fail me now.… Continue

- Hi Mari - Glad you enjoyed Fenella! I did write a few others for my daughters when they were young, but I don't know whether they're still extant. Both the girls liked Fenella... most disappointing - one would expect one's daughters to empathize with Felicity, wouldn't one? (!) I have a vague recollection of one tale in which Fenella went to fight a troll, but the troll turned out to be a vegetarian with a strong social and environmental conscience...

Johnell McLean said… - Hello. I am part of the Learn/Teach group but missed the discussions due to private obligations. I was wondering if you would mind answering a couple of questions I have regarding POV and Active listening. Please message me and I will ask if you don't mind. Thank You.

- Hi Mari - As you've observed, I managed to register here... Maybe I'm improving, though my daughters would no doubt offer an alternative opinion. Thanks for the welcome message!
Mark.
