This, ladies and gentlemen, is my first attempt at blogging. I've actually been in conflict with myself as to start blogging for a few weeks now. Today, I reluctantly decided to take that step (as you can tell by reading this post). It was a spur of the moment choice.  I sat down in front of the computer to check my Facebook and I suddenly found myself on authors.com. I had many ideas on what I wanted to place in my blog posts but really did not know which topic to start with. I thought I…

Being a sci-fi novelist, I consider myself to be a small business entrepreneur, and I don't like Obama saying: 'If You've Got a Business, You Didn't Build That. Somebody Else Made That Happen.' Damn Obama straight to the pits of hell where he belongs, I sit in front of my computer twelve to fourteen hours a day, using my imagination talents to write two to three novels per year. Please check out my eNovels, and their all priced under three dollars so everyone in…

Besides being a writer, I’m a woman, a wife, mother, grandmother and a great grandmother. And I’m a human being, an American, a daughter of pioneers.

The neophyte might then ask, what am I to read? Does it mean how-to books? Books written by the advisor? What?

My personal feeling is a writer should read the types of books he or she wishes to write. Most would-be writers are already readers. Inspired by the books they read for pleasure or edification, they strive to emulate, feeding both an innate need and a desire to share their thoughts…

No mental gymnastics here. Simply put, a very well developed story.

Lucero has obviously made full use of the ever changing, day to day experiences in “his store”. The events described beg the question ... “I

s the customer always right?”
