On November 27, 2012, in Uncategorized, by rsguthrie

When I wrote my third book Blood Land, thus beginning the life and series of Sheriff James Pruett, there was a town and a people and a landscape I aimed to capture—the ones, in fact, where I grew up and grew up with. A friend posted this gorgeously-done video by the Chamber of Commerce and […]

 

Psst. You. Yeah, You. Might I Talk You Into Helping A Fellow Writer?

On November 24, 2012, in Uncategorized, by rsguthrie

I haven’t blogged in a while (again) but it’s mostly been because I am getting ready to kick off the long overdue 90-day release of Blood Land with a decent-sized marketing firm and I owe them nine blogs which they are going to put out on some widely-read blogs, so if I am blogging at […]

This is going to be a baby blog, though I’m writing it for two VERY important reasons: 1. I want to talk about my last post (and stance) on Table of Contents for fiction books. and 2. I just installed the Disqus plugin (the cool one that’s supposed to allow you to log in via […]

Death to the Novel TOC (not to be confused with Housewives of the OC)

On November 1, 2012, in Amazon Tomfoolery, ANDRE THE GIANT, Opinion, Rant, Soap Box, by rsguthrie

I actually started a blog on this subject yesterday, was pulled away, and never got back to finishing it. Then this morning I had an email/ticket from Amazon in my inbox because a reader complained that my FICTION book does not have a Table of Contents (referred to more lovingly in the writing community as […]
