I have many friends asking me for a signed copy of the book when it is published. As I have thought about this, I need to ask for advice.
Do I order the books and sell them? Do I direct them to a particular bookstore and ask the store to order so many copies?
I want to have a book signing for them as there were many who supported me in this effort and I am not sure of the best course to accomplish this.
Thank you in advance for your input.
When I first started my freelance writing career, I let one of freelance writing’s most lucrative markets escape me because I ignored the potential of the inspirational and religious markets…
It’s been a grueling couple of weeks but we’re finally in the new house!

Writers are often a great source of support for each other. Few professions have so many members willing to educate others in their field. The experience and expertise of other writers can help you at all levels of your career.

There are so many sites with ads that seem desperate to hire writers. I think most of them are content mills. How can I easily spot one?
When I was a young writer, I was impatient. Even the idea of immediate success took too long. Why should I have to wait? I had the passion. Words poured from me. What I did not have was the one thing time alone could give me: life experience. I wanted to be the next Great American Novelist, but I only had other people’s lives, ideas and words.
Most of the house is packed up and Richard rented a large U-Haul trailer and took two loads to the new house last weekend. They’re all stacked up in the garage right now. The painters did a great job but we had to call another cleaning crew in. The first one didn’t do a great job. The house looks super now so we’re free to start moving furniture. Everybody is SO excited about moving the old piano one more time…
Jeff Bezos is a BILLIONAIRE!! He is worth 18.4 BILLION dollars. Instead of putting air conditioning in the ovens his company calls warehouses, he’s blowing his money trying to recover rockets from past space flights. Why?!
This week’s issue is abbreviated. Letters will return next week.
