    Book Giveaway!

    I grew up before the Seuss books were around, so I've got to say my favorite remains L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz. I enjoyed all his books about Oz. Also, I like your site and will keep it in mind when my anthology of SpaceMonkey stories, "I Scream for Space Pirates," comes out. At this point...

I'm on 3 other writers forums, doing the same thing. I try to make...

    Theme (wordcount 1687) - Warning: language

    I like it, also. I didn't see it coming. One nit: LiXR is the only player closest to the attaining the highest rank in the game - only and closest player seems redundant. Take care, John

    Self-Publishing Advice

    I don't understand the time lag. I've now published 5 novels with createspace. Once I've uploaded my content and cover, I can order a proof within a day or two. You can also publish without a proof, but I definitely do not recommend doing so. Also, one of my novels was 135,000 words and it...
