Borrowing from Yogi: A dime ain't worth a dollar anymore

On CBS Sunday Morning this week one of the commentators quoted Yogi Berra: “A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.” I just had to add that to my dime-store blog, and comment about the piece they did on business card designers. They showcased one company that designed a fancy two-piece card for a lighting business. The cost? 8 bucks a pop! Meanwhile the CBS reporter had a card with CBS in large letters and his contact info underneath. I prefer that! I don’t want to (over)pay somebody to be creative; I want to use my own creativity. And since I earn 35 cents from every book I sell, I better be creative as hell.

I’m scheduled to appear on New Hampshire Public Radio’s Word of Mouth show on March 15th to talk about my experiences going digital. http://www.nhpr.org/wordofmouth

I'll keep you posted as things develop.

To Conquer the Heart of a King will be one of the giveaways again today (Friday) at Barbara Vey’s Anniversary Bash on her Publisher’s Weekly blog. http://www.BeyondHerBook.com

Her virtual party has been a huge success.

Thanks for stopping by!

That’s the last thing Thane needs, but soon Grady is all he wants. The attraction will complicate everything especially his friendship with a state trooper who will do what he can to see Grady prosecuted and to keep her house arrest from becoming Thane’s life sentence.
