Books Change Lives

I have to let you read this story. An author recently wrote this to me: I’d like to share something with you that I’m not sure a lot of authors get to share. Two months ago, I noticed my novels on my youngest daughter’s nightstand and found her reading them every night. I didn’t want to scare her off from reading them by asking questions, so I just let her read. A couple …

Hard to imagine in these days of the printing press that at one time a book was handcrafted. In addition, some were illuminated or adorned with elaborate artwork. Today’s video is a six minute presentation on the craft of hand-printed illuminated manuscripts. Enjoy!

40 Days with One Composition

For the last few years I’ve used the forty days of Lent as an auditory discipline. I try to listen to one collection of music during the entire season. This year’s choice was Franz Joseph Haydn’s “The Seven Last Words of our Savior on the Cross.” I listened to the string arrangement performed by the Callino Quartet. First performed in a somber setting on Good Friday …

You Have the Right to Write Rite. Right?

by Anonymous: When you write copy you have the right to copyright the copy you write, if the copy is right. If however, your copy falls over, you must right your copy. If you write religious services you write rite, and have the right to copyright the rite you write. Very conservative people write right copy, and have the right to copyright the right copy they write. A right wing cleric would …

BUBBLE WRAP!!! First video shows how it is made. Second video is a few seconds of Bubble Wrap fun. (They don’t remember what was in the box but they will always remember the bubble wrap!) Third video is ridiculous hilarity of a bunch of guys (Dude Perfect) who created a Bubble Wrap Competition. (It has 62,000,000 views!) Enjoy!

It is good to put things in perspective. Today’s video compares the size of various stars in the known and measured universe…then placed next to earth. Only one response. Worship. In these last days God has spoken to us by his Son [Jesus], whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. All things were made through [Jesus], and without [Jesus] was not …

It is Spring Training time for Major League Baseball. Fifteen teams come to Arizona (the other 15 are in Florida) for the month of March. A lot of fans come to watch (1.9 million last year). In honor of a new baseball season we just have to watch the classic “Who’s on First” by Abbot and Costello. When I was in high school I remember performing this with my Dad at a church get …

Your Money is Your Business or Keep a Lid on How Much Money You Make

How much should author friends reveal to each other about contracts or other business dealings when they have business with the same publisher?

I think it is a huge mistake to reveal the amount of your advances to other authors. This is similar to finding out the salary of the co-worker in the office cubicle next to yours. When I was a retail store manager we had major problems when salaries …

I’m trying to imagine this young lady pitching her book to me during an appointment at a writers conference. Imagine how much she could present in only 15 non-stop minutes! There have been times where someone’s nerves kicked their verbal presentation into high gear and they ended up emulating her talent. Please don’t do that! I would prefer a tranquil conversation. If you start …
