The Power Of One
My Blackberry has been blinking red since 2pm Friday, March 12th. While I’m used to a steady stream of email, that is not what was making my Blackberry work overtime.

How NOT To Write A Book
When I decided to write a book in early 2009, I was an excited, bright-eyed, eager woman. Now that the book is done, I am a tired, gray-haired, high calorie carbo-eating author.
My journey began with the excitement that most hopeful authors have. The promise of a great book. The promise of some passive income from book sales. The promise of a boost in credibility. A funny thing happened on the journey to becoming an author. Life happened!
