Have you ever been to a Renaissance Faire or an OldWest Fair? Yesterday we stumbled upon one and plan on going back today. I love the feel of an old fashioned market, the open air, the hot sun, vendors selling, education and entertainment all inviting people in. Whether it is hand crafts, homegrown food, pottery,…

As a reader I never knew this. As a matter of fact I have gone through my kindle and left reviews for authors over the last several months because I had been completely unaware of how vital reviews are to selling books, Amazon rankings and feedback for the author. Please if you have read a…

While Bryon, the amazing tech wizard, was getting his business ready for his absence and putting things in place to bring his wife back after surgery, he also fiddled with the website, making links and creating pages to post material. That almost makes it sound like a I know what he was doing but I…
