Some writers tend to look down their nose at the PR side of the world of publishing. I can remember in journalism school how PR folks were referred to as flacks. The real truth is that journalists and PR consultants are really after the same thing…
I had an exchange with an author this week about email marketing…
Did you know the often quoted saying “beauty is only skin deep” isn’t true…
We spent the day driving to Erie, Pennsylvania and, when we arrived, Richard did what he always does. He walked around the RV, checking the tires and everything else. He came back inside with bad news. One of our tires had a bulge. It could blow out sideways at any time. This was a repair item we couldn’t ignore or delay…

Relying on landing that golden opportunity can cost a freelancer valuable income, so I’ve learned to toss my hat into many rings […]
When we get back to Bangor, we’ll have the RV guys check:
The windshield wipers (they keep stopping in the middle of the window when you turn them off)
The quarter-panel on the passenger side (it came loose and is currently being held on with duct tape)
The slides (they are squeaking, and probably need a good greasing)
The air conditioner (the filters need to be changed)
And, the big one – our huge plug that we use when plugging into the power at campgrounds is melting. Yes, you read that right…
