Nothing Beats A Good Book

Nothing Beats A Good Book

Posted by T.S.Garp

Greetings to everyone. As 2013 begins we can see changes on the horizon. I have been busy trying to complete outstanding projects and brace for any new ones that materialize. I’m knee-deep in paper, re-writes, and ideas with my latest book. Somehow, I’m still able to catch-up on some reading. I recently started expanding my search for helpful things on the Internet I call the World Matrix featured on Facebook. Upon my evaluation of the best online resources for tips, promotions, events, and free tools, I stumbled across this website “FriedBeef’s Tech" for the best online free books. Amazing list for the free book lover in you. Reading opens the mind to imagination and words of wonder, so read something today, pick up a good memoir, book, fiction, sci-fi, and your enjoyment of poetry, and let the book take you into another world that mirrors this one with characters we know and love.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my friends and family everywhere and across the world. May each day be exquisite for all of us. I'm deeply in writing mode, re-designing this and that, and gearing up to meet 2013! Happy Holidays!

On the never-ending trek to sell my books its always best to start updating your Writer‘s Market info. What writers out there need to keep focus on: If you have other manuscripts/books that need publication be sure check out the most current list of literary agencies and publication houses. If you already have a book recently published than start developing a powerful word of mouth plan like with a popular social network, create a fan base, search out and discovery more tools to help you with that. Build yourself an author’s website to showcase your books, translating into creating an effective social media strategy, securing more media interviews from clubs, books shops, radio, Internet, Youtube, social writing networks, and utilizing Amazon’s free tools.
