The Amazon Boycott

Are you participating in the Amazon Boycott? Officially the boycott, or “blackout”, runs from March 7-14, 2025, but some activists have stated the boycott should last as long as a month. The boycott aimed at Target stores started March 5th, and will be for forty days to coincide with Lent.

The purpose of the boycotts is to send a message to companies that abandoning diversity, equity, and inclusion is regressive and unacceptable. Billionaires have manipulated the American economy and profited off the working class for far too long. So working people are taking action.

If you’ve decided you do not want to purchase ebooks, audiobooks, or paperbacks from Amazon, here are some other places you can get books: Continue reading →

Love in the Time of COVID-19

Posted on by

The world is currently a very stressful place with the COVID-19 pandemic. In the United States, and elsewhere, we are being asked to self-isolate which means hunkering down at home. For introverts, which many romance readers are, finding an activity to pass the time while being at home is not difficult. Romance readers will be reading romance, attacking their To Be Read piles with a vengeance.

But small brick-and-mortar businesses and people whose livelihoods depend on in-person interaction are already, and will continue to be, greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Brick-and-mortar businesses, such as your local bookstore, rely on foot traffic and in-person purchases. No customers means no sales. Many people forced to stay home cannot work remotely and will lose income. No income means no book purchases.

How can romance come to the rescue? Continue reading →

Republishing Madness: Two steps forward, one step back, but still moving

Posted on by

For the last three years of my author life I’ve felt like Sisyphus pushing a stone up a hill, only to have it roll back down, thus negating any progress. It has been very frustrating, to say the least. Instead of writing, I’ve spent time and energy (and money) republishing novels and stories. Too often, I think I have given a story a good home, only to find it orphaned.

Republishing involves: re-editing (sometimes editing out a publisher’s style and reasserting my own); new covers; possibly new blurbs; ebook formatting; paperback formatting; new ISBNs (stupidly expensive in the US); uploading to retailer sites; plus promotion, promotion, promotion.

Basically everything an author has to do when self-publishing, except all of that stuff had already been done and now you have to do it all over again. Sigh. Continue reading →
