Writer’s Diary – Romance Author With A Few Opinions
I’m going through all my books and sending them out for reformatting by someone who isn’t me because I’ve decided it’s not a good use of my time. The changes will be exceedingly minor — basically just the formatting. I’ve got some pretty custom dingbats for the interiors and a nifty newsletter icon to include […]

I continue to marvel at the intersection of my writing life and my tech life. One of my job functions is to architect databases that will hold the information that runs websites or pays bills or, report on the information in the database. It’s remarkably easy to get wrong. Because I’m a data architect and […]

Yesterday on twitter, a fellow Arjun Rampal fan asked why I hadn’t blogged on the subject lately. His tweet reminded me that I have been remiss, and that Rampal’s recent movie, Roy, has been sitting unwatched in my stack of DVDs.

Recently, I followed a twitter link that landed me here: k-lytics.com which page is a tutorial for authors about how to understand Amazon links and lessen the risks of review removal. Although the main take away, which is it’s better to use a link that contains only the ASIN, the tutorial is wrong on just […]

So far, my 2016 has been a success factory! 1. Operation New (to me) Desk remains on target, if not slightly ahead of schedule. 2. My keyboard tray arrived and I assembled and attached it. 3. My file cabinet/printer stand arrived, and I assembled it, put it next to the desk, put the printer on […]

To Avoid Hell, Organization Requires Commitment So, some time ago, the day job negotiated renovated office space… and a lot of office equipment was offered up to employees. I snagged an adjustable desk because I want to set up a treadmill desk. I measured etc and confirmed the desk would fit in my room. I […]
