Update on Book Launch

After much ado, I've finally released the first of four self-help books. I’ve already researched and written them all, and plan to launch them every quarter.

This first release is called, ‘How to Sp£nd L€ss’ and is currently published as an e-book on Smashwords.

As many of you know, I’ve spent four years of active research uncovering well-kept secrets which will help the average family spend less on food shopping, household bills, entertainment, large purchases and arbitrary outgoings. I’ve acid-proofed all the examples given in this book so you don't have to do any of the hard work.

I hope you'll have a look at it and tell one friend about it too. Download it for free or pay what you want at this link this link. This is a limited offer, so get it while you can.

I’ve also started a Facebook fan page called I know 'How to Sp£nd L€ss' and still live well. Feel free to join in, and if you know just one other person who may benefit from this book, invite them to come along too. Thanks for your continued support.

Internet Shopping

Summer is gone. And well, before you know it, ‘Sleigh Bells Ring’ will be ‘glistening’ in the background at your local supermarket. For me, the single worst thing about the holidays is the shopping. The noise and bustle; the twinkling lights; the smell of food and the decorations all add to the beauty and ‘feel’ of the holidays. Shopping however, attaches a sort of ‘chore,’ something that has to be gotten over with.

That’s why I’m planning to do a lot of my shopping online this year. Instead of doing the hard work of crawling blindly around in cyberspace, I’ll visit a comprehensive site like ShopWiki (listings in several countries) that does all the work for me and lists all available shops, already in neat little groups. My father-in-law loves books and music. My husband never has enough office equipment. The kids on the other hand, want everything in sight. Goodbye trawling shops in the freezing cold. Goodbye standing in line trying to pay for items I’m not even sure the kids would appreciate. Internet shopping, here I come! Make way!

Mathy and Me

If anyone has read even part of my book, Sunday’s Child, they would know that Maths is certainly not one of my strong points. Maths was never my friend, oh no it wasn't. In fact, I would go as far as to say I was a bit scared of it. I got through my school life without extra Math help by putting more emphasis on the subjects I knew I could handle. This was the only way I could live with myself through the years.

In some ways, this tactic paid off because I became tremendously apt at most of the other subjects. In those days there were outside support as online Math tutoring or online Math help. Even if there were, I was in no position to avail of them.

Nowadays, I’ve come to terms with my apprehension about Maths. I even taught it for a while some years ago. Yes, I’ve come a long way. I think that if I was in school today with the option of just popping on the internet to benefit from free Math help or an online Math tutor, life in school would’ve been a lot more fun in my days.

Send Me Your Blog and Website Links

I’ve just released a new blog called  A Blogger's Books about writing, blogging and publishing. It was necessary to develop this new site even though I manage two other blogs because I needed a separate place in which to host my books. Here I will post upcoming information about one of my e-handbooks which will be launched on December 1st this year and subsequent works.

After careful planning, a lot of eye rolling and late nights, my dear friend, Icy BC and I have put together what we now feel is the final core of what the site will look like.

The reason I’m writing about this here is because I’m looking for carefully crafted articles specifically about writing or publishing. They have to have been already published because everything will be linked back to you. As the site is about the art of writing, the pieces have to be well-written and offer valuable information to the reader. In exchange I’ll share two links of your choice as well as linking to the article itself. My friends will see your work, and with your link back hopefully, yours will see mine too.

I’m also interested in blogs that are geared towards the art of writing and publishing; good-quality tutorials about doing tasks related to blogging, and pieces about e-publishing. If you have short bites of advice or tips, these will work too. Sorry, no poetry at this time. Please leave me a message here on A Blogger’s Books. I'm looking to garner followers, so please pop by at the link above. Thank you.
