Are Best-Selling Books Really Any Good?

Posted: 12 Jul 2017 07:28 AM PDT

Many authors that I speak with, whether self-published or published by a leading publisher, regardless of genre, a writer’s credentials, or the marketing campaign behind their books, will ask about how they can become a best-selling author. It is understandable that they’d want to make a list – they seek fame, fortune, and to be heard in a big way. But do our best-seller lists really represent ...

Do you need a prologue or an epilogue?

Do you need a prologue or an epilogue?

Posted by CreateSpaceBlogger on Jun 5, 2017 5:22:26 AM

Epilogues and prologues are sometimes enigmatic parts of a novel that can even perplex the author of a book. What are they, and are they necessary? The answer to the second question is no, you don't need them. The inclusion of an epilogue or prologue or both is purely a matter of style. Some authors find them useful, but most authors in today's publishing world don't include them in their books. I have...

Authors Don’t Need To Panic When Talking To The Media

Posted: 14 Jun 2017 12:51 PM PDT

As a writer, you must overcome many obstacles. You write a book that’s worth publishing. You find a literary agent, book publisher, or self-publishing platform. You market and promote the book. Then, opportunity knocks, and the news media wants to interview you. Finally, your moment has arrived. But with it also comes pangs of fear, feelings of insecurity and even a touch of pani...

Remembering 9/11

Posted by Linda Black on Wednesday, September 11, 2013,

Lest We Forget

Mass destruction we never knew
until nine-eleven, our blood they drew.
We then realized death by numbers,
numbers far too numerous to mumble.

On that day in two thousand one,
the peace we knew was over and done.
Every casualty counted as the world watched numb,
three thousand plus, more than from a terrorist bomb.

All of the wars fought in the past,
could not compare to this in mass
We learned what homeland security means,
from the heinous deeds of terrorist teams.

As I s...

Author, Linda Black, is joining the blog today. She's here to tell us all about her new book,
S.T.O.P. BULLYING. What a timely topic for young people.

Welcome, Linda! Can you tell us a little about yourself?

A native Arkansan, I grew up in a very small town the fourth of twelve children. I kid with people all the time about my “lucky” number being “four” because of the many incidences of four in my life. I’m the fourth child with four children. I was b...

Posted by Linda Black on Wednesday, October 13, 2010,

I had a blast in Eureka Springs the past weekend. Of the 3 poems and a short story I submitted, I was honored to win Second Honorable Mention for the poem "Springtime". It was my first win ever, but won't be my last. That win just created driving juices within me and it's raging out of control right now.
