I Voted Early

No matter who or what you are voting for, GET OUT and VOTE!  Most states offer early voting with operational hours to fit any ones schedule.  There is no excuse to take advantage of this right and responsibility!

Quick Update

Howdy;

I noticed that I have not kept up on my blogs over the past year for this site and yet there is so much that has happened.  The question is, where to begin.

Let's start with the Election year.  As you know, we are in what is turning out to be a very tight presidential race.  Neither party has really given us much hope for the future.  We can go back to what brought us to this economic mess, or keep the path we are on, which may not get us out of it.  Not  much to choose from.  I can say this because my hopes for things improving has been tested extensively over the past year.  I really expected things to have been better for the country by now, and it's not.  To that extent, I am going to introduce you to my other blog site:  www.NowHomeless.blogspot.com  Here you can read about my story of becoming homeless and the struggles I have to deal with while our politicians keep playing games with our lives.  To say the least, right now, I am not happy with it.

Let's move on...
The past year we have released many new and exciting books.  Books that deal with Bullying, self acceptance, love, and so much more.  All of these subjects are addressed in our wide range of Genre's so there is bound to be something for someone in our collection of books.

We are now up to 70 books published, with many more coming along for next year; including our Warewolf book Loup Garou.  Howard Webb is an exceptional writer and I look forward to his books doing very well over the next few years as he writes the chronicles.

So that is it in a nut shell.  Not a lot going on, but keeping hard at work so we are ready to move forward when our economy finally kicks in again.

Cheers.

Welcome to World Book Project

Authors Create - You Comment - Charities Win

A new and exciting way for you to participate in creating a book.  A plot is chosen, up to 24 authors have been selected, and each author will add a chapter one by one until the book is completed.  When a chapter is created, it's posted for your review and comments before the next author finishes their addition to the book.  This continues to the last two chapters and then suspense.  How will the book end?

This interactive way to create a book will cost a very small fee for Readers to participate in for leaving comments, suggest characters, and suggest plot twist and even suggesting the title of the book in progress.  In addition, they will have to purchase the eBook to see how the story ends as only 22 of the 24 chapters will be viewed on the web site or on the app.  Between the small fees to participate and the sales for the eBook, a great deal of money will be raised for charities.

Wishing you a Wonderful New Year

 2012 is now upon us and depending on who you listen to, 2012 will be our last year of existence as we know it.   The Mayan’s whose calendar system has been the most accurate in history simply says that on December 21, 2012 their calendar cycle ends and a new one begins.  I am leaning towards that line of thought.

Each New Years day begins a year full of opportunity and hope and this one is no different.  We are going through many changes and challenges as seen in 2011.  Do your best to keep fear at bay so you can enjoy all the wonders this New Year will offer you, even when it seems to be your darkest hour.  Allow your hope, faith and love to guide you this year through your journey.

While you may not know where your journey is taking you, know that there is a purpose for the journey and know without a doubt you will be a better person for it.

May you and your loved ones all have a Wonderful Life in 2012.

Tell Me a Story - TNBBC's The Next Best Book Blog

Tell Me a Story is a monthly series that features previously unpublished short stories from debut and Indie authors. The request is simple: Stories can be any format, any genre, and any length. And many amazing writers signed up for the challenge.

Todays story comes from the wildly unpredictable mind of Matt Micheli. Matt is the author of Memoirs of a Violent Sleeper, and coins himself as "a transgressive fiction writer out of Austin TX who deals with lead characters that don't quite fit the norm". His analytical, sometimes satirical, and often times blunt views of religion, love, loss, life and beyond are expressed through his storytelling. For him, writing is an escape from the confines of a consistent and ordinary normality. He is currently working on final edits for a new novel titled SMUT.
