The fundamental technique for making an author well-known, is to get his/her name on as many websites as possible, with as many back-links as possible. This is essential SEO, it increases the amount of Google search results for the writer, and the search-engine ranking.
How does one best market a writer on the internet? When readers decide if they are going to buy a book by an author…

I think that the word "Love" is over used these days. We love our iPads. We love our cars. We love this show or that movie or the latest fad. We confuse lust for love and fall out of love as easily as we fall in. We throw around the word so much that "Love" itself has lost all meaning.But Love, True Love, is more than just like. It is more than the muffin you're eating. And it is far more than the guy or girl you met at the bar five minutes ago.Love is devotion. Love is sacrifice. Love is the…Continue

Anyone who has read my novels will observe the lack of certain "modern furniture": cell phones, computers, CD players will never be seen. Even airplanes make seldom appearances. Now, I am NOT a historical fiction writer. My upcoming novel, …Continue

http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Philosophy-Feminism.htmToday [the voice of women] is being heard loud and clear. But I do not read the welcome triumph of feminism, social, economic, and creative, as a brief for postmodernism. The advance, while opening new avenues of expression and liberating deep pools of talent, has not exploded human nature into little pieces. Instead, it has set the stage for a fuller exploration of the…Continue

I went to Paris for two weeks and had a lovely time as usual. I so love that magical city. That is the reason I have not been around here much until recently and it seems every time I sign on I am the only only one in the members online box. Also, as I view the discussions and other posts the dates of the last postings go back to April in some cases and here we are approaching the end of May. So I've begun to wonder, where did everyone go and why?Could it be the result of the site's new…Continue

I should perhaps begin by saying that I am as big a fan of the Net and the Web and the whole expanding “information universe” as anyone you are likely to meet. I find myself online all the time, mining for data, merrily skipping from one site to the next, passing the time of day after day (and night after night) in…Continue

Introduction / Introductory Quotes..the thing that irks me the most is this shattered prison. I'm tired, tired of being enclosed here. I'm wearying to escape into that glorious world, and to be always there, not seeing it dimly through tears, and yearning for it through the walls of an aching heart; but really with it, and in it .. (Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights)The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them…Continue

I cast my support to Nin and wonder, out loud, if conformity isn't smothering creativity because it certainly has eradicated happiness. I am most happy when out of sync with the herd. Given the history of the human herd, it is hard to argue that it knows where it knows where it is going!I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic — in the…Continue

Read a lovely little book some time ago and would like to reread but can't recall title; pleas help.Takes place somewhere in the low countries, a man (journalist?) runs over a rabbit, plops it into his pocket and drops out of society in order to care for it. Survives on the kidness of strangers and taking on odd jobs.Continue

Sunny day, mocking me,
life's shrouded in misery.
Cheerful dawn, jeering noon,
I seek the comfort of the moon.
Night is bright,
clear and fresh,
allowing me to take a breath,
from the suffocating heat of day,
Mankind's passion on display.
Each night my life is just begun,
beneath the light of midnight sun.

“Hey there boy, how you doin?
You hungry?

Here you go buddy.
Yeah, you were hungry huh?

If I Could Have,
I would have liked to have been in one of the villages Jesus visited. Not to witness miracles or anything, I haven't cared about those since I was a child, but to have seen for myself how he looked, seen the light in his eyes, heard the timbre of his voice as he spoke to people, gathered his followers. Heard for myself what he talked about when he talked about love, to paraphrase Raymond Carver. I like to think I would have trusted him,…
