- About Me:
- For 20+ years, I have been a writer and editorial contributor, including three years as an in-house editor for three publications. I continue to write articles for trade and consumer publications and Web sites, as well as produce direct mail pieces, press releases, brochures and other collateral, Web content/sites, product enclosures, catalog copy, print ads, radio and video scripts, and advertorials. I handle either just the writing aspects of a job or run full production of print pieces and Web content from start to finish, creating teams and directing designers, printers and other associates. Industries I’ve written for include medical, legal, substance abuse rehab, business, banking and investment services, automotive, apparel, pet products and veterinary, children’s products, health products, IT, office machines and hair products/services. In addition, I also do PR work for different companies, placing speakers for industry events and finding placement for their articles in traditional print publications as well as online, posting the articles on appropriate sites. I also develop and implement budget-minded marketing plans for small companies.
I'm also the co-founder of Book Candy Studios. A viral marketing company that helps authors and publishers reach readers.

How Much Does Luck Contribute to an Author's Success?
How much does luck contribute to an author's success?
When I think about luck and writing, one of the first word sets that comes to mind is Harry Potter. That is far more than a story of success for a down-and-out writer who was on social services sitting in a coffee shop every day with her infant at her feet writing her book. An ex-school teacher who was writing for no one but herself. That is truly a story of phenomenal luck with a capital "L."
As I've heard the story, J.K.… Continue

AUTHORS! Stop Obsessing About The Numbers ;-)
Most tech data points are just that. They reflect data … not people. Can you really directly translate hits and page views to readers (they could be bots)? Is there anyone out there who can directly correlate an Amazon ranking to actual number of bo… Continue

Time for a Reality Check.
Do NOT fall for this tactic. If you think you are going to sign up for a seminar, plopping down hundreds of dollars to some guru who promises to get you on the shows of your dreams, so you can sell, sell, sell books, stop right now. This is not brain surgery, people. I'v… Continue
