Thanks, DATo. Not only did I get to read your well-written, enjoyable story, I found another writing forum to join. Thanks. When I'm working on projects, I often get sidetracked. But it's as if my psyche knows what's good for me, I usually come across some gem that I can use in my WIP. If not...

Thank you for your nice reply. You probably wouldn't believe how many times I've been attacked when giving constructive criticism. Without such criticism toward me in the past, I'd be a much worse writer.

First of all, most major publishers will not accept queries from writers, only agents. You need to get an agent. You haven't said, but this appears to be a story anthology, which are very difficult to get published except those of famous writers. Blurbs should be in present tense an remain...

Original, descriptive and very good. Kudos, Wolf

I'm offering the kindle version of my novel, "...and Remember that I Am a Man." for $.99 on Amazon Books Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It's the true story of Moses Grandy, a slave from the Great Dismal Swamp area, who narrated his experiences in 1843. It's fictional history and I've tried to...

Don't despair. I wrote a historical slave novel set in my area and published it thru CreateSpace and Kindle. I can buy hard copies from Amazon and promoted until now I'm invited to local historical gatherings and even lecture once a year in a small museum. I sell quite a few copies this way...

Oops, posted twice and don't know how to delete one.

Since inane poems seem to be appearing lately: I Hate Dimension it, but. . . By John Bushore A test pilot am I, and I flew an invention, straight through a black hole, to the fifth of dimensions. It’s a space-time awry, full of wide-awake dreams, where if something looks right, then it’s...

Lauren, Why didn't you put a link to your website? Or am I missing something? I googled Simon Otius and all I found were posts by you on other book/writing forums.

Sam's Dot Publishing, http://www.samsdotpublishing.com/drabbler/main.htm, recently taken over by White Cat Books, has been publishing The Drabbler for years. It's a themed magazine and they are currently seeking submissions, I believe.

For the first five days of February, Black History Month, my historical novel, "...and Remember that I Am a Man." is free from Amazon Kindle. Also, I'll be doing a book signing and historical slavery powerpoint for Civil War Days at the Museum of the Albemarle, Elizabeth City on Feb. 7 & 8.

Hi, I'm the random guy on the internet who has published several novels on Kindle and Kindle policies are far from legal advice. They will assign an ISBN for you at no charge, or you can pay $10 (unless it's gone up) and buy an ISBN from them, which allows you to list yourself as the publisher...

I published a historical novel, "and Remember that I Am a Man.", about three years ago. It's based on an 1843 narrative, "The Life of Moses Grandy" who was a slave in my area of the country. Since no one seemed to know about him, I wanted to write a book for middle grade students. None of my...

I went to the Amazon link and was disappointed that the "sample" stops with the title pages.

Simple. When I get an idea that inspires me, I write every chance I get, even if it's only for a few minutes.

WENDIGO is the second novel in the Shadow Fletcher series (the first was WOLFWRAITH.) Shadow, a one-handed, Native American, ex-marine, has recently been assigned as a park ranger at Breaks Interstate Park, on the Virginia/Kentucky border. It's rugged country and is billed as the "Grand Canyon...

Here's an excerpt from my historical novel, Necessary Evil. Read it, review it, critique it, whatever you'd like to do. The Americans have captured the island of Tinian, and Tedtaotao (Ted), a native boy, has been put into an internment camp with other non-Japanese civilians. Trouble is, a...

Don't thank me, that's the true account. Only the last chapter is entirely fictional, because no one knows where or when he died, as far as I could find out. It was hard to write, I'd only done genre fiction before, but Moses' story captivated me. It took 6 years to research and 3 years to...

Thank you, it means a lot to me. I came across that slave's story years ago while researching for a novel set in the Great Dismal Swamp. I work for a local school system and it irked me that kids in the area didn't know his story. I set out to write a YA book but got carried away and wrote a...

It would annoy me, too. But I've learned not to expect much from people.
