THINK OF SOMEONE ELSE DAY!

I hereby declare this:

THINK OF SOMEONE ELSE DAY!

And not just send good vibes their way ...

DO something nice for them.

Wendy Tyler Ryan:

has a new book out: FIRE'S CHILDREN

Oh, you don't read fantasy?  Your point? 

We all labor for what seems an eternity in writing, polishing, and finally ... finally publishing our books.

Wouldn't you like a friend out there in the cyberverse to pat you on the back in support? 

It is not karma.  It is merely lighting a candle in the dark of someone's dreams.

Listen to Wendy:

"To celebrate the Book II release, I am offering the e-Book of Book I - Fire's Daughter, for the ridiculously low price of $0.99 for a limited time only."

Skip a coke this week and spend the dollar on Wendy's book. Support a fellow blogger.

(And save a few calories to boot!)  A win/win proposition.

Yes, I am off to give a copy to a friend.  (But I am still going to drink that coke!)

{I already have FIRE'S DAUGHTER -- I bought FIRE'S CHILDREN ($4.99) since I could do with one Whopper less this week!  LOL!}

*This just in:

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Co., the publisher of authors from Mark Twain to J.R.R. Tolkien, sought bankruptcy protection to eliminate more than $3 billion in debt.

The filing comes as traditional print-book publishing faces growing competition from e-books.

Sales of adult paperbacks and hardcover books fell 18 percent from 2010 to 2011, according to the Association of American Publishers. Borders Group Inc., the second-largest U.S. bookstore chain, filed for bankruptcy in February 2011.

What do you think this means for the future of publishing and our chances of becoming a self-supporting authors?

  2. Thanks, Trish:
    I wanted to perhaps start a domino effect of one blog helping another writer in some small way, Roland

  5. Thanks Roland and everyone else for the kind support. It is true that sometimes we feel as though we labour alone.

  6. Wendy:
    Isn't that the truth! When ill health, harsh economic necessities, and lonely unrewarded writing dogs us -- it is hard to keep the faith. Friends like you, Alex, Trish, and Michael di Gesu keep me sane.

    I hope this post gets you a few sales,Roland

  11. Sounds like a great book!
    For sure, the publishing industry is going to continue to evolve and change given today's circumstances with ebooks, etc. I'm keeping my eyes open.
