| | Maria Rachel Hooley Oklahoma |
| It's strange but true that I actually get a whole lot more writing done when I'm not on break. I think it has to do with having kids home. Or rather having very bored kids home. No, I don't want to be the next entertainment ... more |

| Yep, here is another interesting site I ran across, and if you are a self-published author, this is a place you definitely want to visit. I had quite a bit of fun once I realized what the book widget did, and I can tell you that it's a ... more |
