    New in town

    Welcome I like book review sites -- well, the ones that give me good reviews, anyhow! We're a strange bunch, but harmless. Well, mostly. Sometimes.

    Just joined!

    Welcome I've designed my own website, and that's all. It's not too bad, seeing I had to learn as I did it. I keep adding pages and changing some according to how my books sell or what orchids are blooming. I'd like to see some of your work.

    Greetings, all

    Greetings and welcome. I've been in music (rock) and am a writer, so we share some interests. I'm eclectic in both, enjoying Pavarotti and Little Richard, as well as oldies like Dean Martin. I also liked blues and some jazz. I write SciFi, technical, murder mysteries and true crime, and other...

    Me

    Welcome. I write comedy, SciFi, and weird stuff. That's because I'm funny, spacey, and weird.

    No, not the one who used to go with Zaphod

    Welcome! Come into the laboratory, my dear, I won't hurt you! MWUHAHAHA!

    Any suggestions for promoting a POD book?

    I've found you can get on a lot of search engines free. Do it (you must have a webpage, of course). Do not fall for those that take a small fee and promise to submit you to thousands of search engines, because those simply submit them to the free engines for you. After your sales have gotten...

    How many...

    I've written 90+ books. 88 of them are on eNovel. Mostly SciFi, but some murder mysteries (32) and a true crime collection. And a ghost (true) story. And some experimental. And two orchid culture books. And...

    Howdy, Y'all!

    I'm in SW Florida, Bonita Springs, and am a very rare creature: a native. I'm editing a murder mystery series I wrote at the moment, and have to upgrade a true crime book, so can't read much until that's done. The last thing I read was a book by a friend that was recently published. "The...

    Greetings from Florida (US)!

    I'm new as of today, and I'm from Florida, too. It's a great location to base your work on (Picky! Picky! Picky! All right, on which to base your work! Sheesh!) Anyhow, I have a slightly odd (SLIGHTLY?!?!?!) sense of humor. I've read a lot of the threads here, and think we'll both like...

    New story

    I've written several books where I use various POV's. In "Heku" it was very effective, because it was based on three different POV's. In "After the Old Gods" there were four, and it worked very well. In a murder mystery that was never published, it didn't work at all, because the POV's were too...

    On Writing and Illustrating...

    It depends entirely on the publisher and your contract with them. If you wish to do your own illustrations with conventional publishers, some will and some won't (the rest, YECH!). I've had so much flack from traditional publishers over the years that I've gone strictly to e-publishing (which...

    My first novel

    Just got on the forum, but know how hard it can be to promote a book. I know, because I've got 88 of them on eNovel, and there is a mistrust of e-books and POD. Seeing you have a webpage, have you gotten it onto the search engines? You can get on hundreds of them free, and get a small...

    Howdy all

    I'm new here (figured that out, did you?) and wanted to say Hi! I'm an ex-rock musician, have traveled all over the world, worked in everything from high steelwork to owning a bar, and am presently a beachbum here in SW Florida, USA. I write a lot, and do research, mostly on orchids. I...

    Howdy, Y'all!

    You guessed I was from the south USA already! Wow! HOW??? I'm an ex-rock musician, and an ex-lots-of-things. Right now I'm mainly a beach bum (My favorite thing of ALL!). I write a lot, and do research in botany, particularly orchids. I think I really like the tone of this forum. I really...

    Laugh Out Loud Funny

    Hi, I'm new here. I remember reading a book called "The X-Bar" some time ago. I don't remember the author. It was published in the UK. It had a couple of scenes that were truly hilarious. Another older one (also don't remember the author) was "Ladies In Hades". "Hitchhiker's Guide" was...
