It's snowing.

My arthritis hates snow. And rain. And by golly, I know we need the water, but...ouch!

Last time I was here, I promoted a fund-raiser for my nephew, who was injured quite badly in a car accident. I hope the word got out enough to do some good for him. I am sharing again, for good measure.

Update: 7:28 p.m.

You probably know this already: I write. I publish. I write some more.

I feel compelled to tell stories, and once I finish something, it's nice to share, so I do.

Publishing platforms abound, and my son pushed me to publish that first book. It felt like a minor miracle when the first copies sold.

So, I talk about the books, and I tell a few people, and I mostly just keep writing.

But then, I also do some self promotion from time to time, to try like mad to actually sell my books.

It's generally not all that effective.

I sometimes wonder why I do it at all. I sometimes feel like it's useless--I can't even give them away.

This isn't altogether true--I have sold them, and I have given some away. It makes me feel great to get a nice review or have someone come up to me and tell me they enjoyed reading.

I don't expect to become a best seller-- not even close. But it does get to me sometimes, when I promote and nothing happens.

So, I'm promoting. Hey, one of them is free. You can't beat free, right? The other is a low $0.99. That's two books for a buck. What have you got to lose?

Oh well, as the saying goes, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

I hope you'll download them, read them and enjoy them. Thanks!

Now, for that promo--

Here we go again:

It's a Kindle Countdown. Price starts at $0.99! That's a nice savings off the original price of $2.99
Roger's Dilemma is the second of three stories featuring Emma, who speaks with her deceased relatives to learn their stories and pass them on to the living, and Roger, whom we met in Roger's Revelation. Roger learned a secret after his death and has sought Emma's help in dealing with the knowledge.
If you haven't read part one yet, Roger's Revelation will be available FREE for the next 5 hours. Follow this link:
