And Now For Something Completely Different...

And I'd like to start with a quick note about Valerie Connelly.
Valerie interviewed me last week on her program, Calling All Authors and I had the chance to meet her last night when she visited the Robeson County Library in Lumberton, NC. It would take to long to list all of Valerie's experiences, achievements and travels, but safe to say I learned a lot from her last night! She's also the owner of Nightengale Press a truly unique publishing business model.

And now on to the news!

Users have finally decided to boycott Kindle's high prices- BookSquare

Here's some great dialogue tips - Make Mine Mystery

Interesting story on POD publishing & POD printing - CNN

A publisher sues Borders and Baker & Taylor for excessive returns - Southern Review of Books

A helpful book, "The Plot Thickens – 8 Ways to Bring Fiction to Life" - Writing By Faith

"House" cast member explains departure - CNN

And finally, Leonard Nimoy joins "Fringe" - Entertainment Weekly
(Oh, the sci-fi geeks are drooling now!)

Have a Blessed Good Friday, everyone!
