They say the book is always better than the movie

IT is kinda weird when we authors post  videos supporting our novels.

Trudy returns

RELUCTANT psychic Detective Trudy Harper is back with her paranormal “gifts’’ stronger but still beyond the conscious control of the young woman.

Vision II: The Reluctant Psychic Returns follows the popular series debut which gathered reader praise including favorable comparisons with hit television shows, The Mentalist, Law & Order and Medium.

Vision II starts with Lucky Luke in which Trudy is specifically signaled out by a spirit for the first time. The Spirit does not know Trudy is a cop but he has been told she is the only one who can save his beloved grandson from a cold, lonely death.

The Price of Freedom is the harrowing and unusual tale of a kidnapping. A rich girl’s life hangs by a thread and her only chance at salvation is with her tattered teddy bear.

Trudy Harper is funny and flirtatious at the beginning of Walking a Fine Line but an ethical call on her part could cost her a career. Walking a Fine Line is a sophisticated  suspenseful tale.

Forever My Child is a signature story from Jane Sharp. White terror invades domesticity. The ending will stay with you for a long time.

In Changes, death becomes personal and Trudy is alone at the crossroads of not just her career but her very life.

VISIBILITY and curation are the two big buzzwords of book publishing today. I cannot see myself writing on visibility in this column so let’s talk curation.

THE trouble with conventional wisdom is by the time it becomes widespread it is passé.

Take the old saw that a mainstream publisher will never pick up a self-published author. Not true now.

My book is 5 cents but I'm worried I have priced it too high

All you voracious readers out there, will you pay a fair price for a book? All you professional writers out there, will you accept a fair return on your labour, say $50, 000 and upwards a year?

 Yes from both.  Alright, we have solved the publishing crisis.

MUCH wailing at the wall and gnashing at the teeth follow from the recent ill fortunes of the publishing industry.

Newspapers are in the midst of a shake-up which is just beginning in book publishing

As a journalist and author, I appear to have accepted not one but two third-class seats on the Titanic.

Thankfully for books, it is not all doom and gloom.
