What To Charge For Your Book (Or: George Carlin Might Know; He Can Ask God)

My last post was a little heavy. Elie Wiesel. The holocaust. God on trial. I decided today I would be a little more of the light-hearted self and talk about book pricing. Nothing heavy or controversial about that. Ahem. No, but take my wife…seriously. By the way, before we get started, I missed my 100th […]

 

ABE Books (and other sites like it): I Could Have An Orgasm

On July 11, 2012, in Book Release, Indie Reader, Interviews, Just for Fun, Past Reading, by rsguthrie

So I’ve mentioned this blog interview I did. What I have NOT done yet (like an idiot) is LINK TO IT, or TWEET IT yet. The irony is I have NEVER had so much fun with an interview. I don’t know whether it was the GREAT questions or my mood or the ordering of the […]

 

Dear Struggling Indie Writer

So it’s happened. I’ve let ‘er loose. As deep and dark (at times) and thrillingly scurrilous as this book is when need be (don’t worry, it has plenty of redemption) I am still going to think of Dark Prairies in the feminine. If you’ve read my blog much, you know I believe my muse is […]

 

What Is A “Magnum Opus” To You (And Have You Written One)?

On July 8, 2012, in Book Release, Celebrities, Events, Famous Writers, Great Reads, New Books, WIP, by rsguthrie

  As I prepare to release my third novel (and try not to notice that there are about ten new novels releasing in the next couple of weeks just within the smallish circle of writers I know), I take pause to think about a term I have always ascribed to this particular book, what it […]

 

Two Badges, Wyoming, Joe Namath, A Magnum Opus – Can You Actually Resist?

On July 6, 2012, in Book Release, Book Reviews, Indie Authors, New Books, by rsguthrie

I’ve been writing this novel, a tribute to my home town that has been (literar-ily) dying to get out of me, off and on for three years. It sounds like a bad love affair. It’s not, I promise. But then something happened within days of my magnum opus’ release: My first bouncing baby book, Black […]

 

A Black Bra, Cool Shades, Hot Espresso, Tuscany, and Female Zombies. Three Days. No Charge.

When my author bud Frederick Lee Brooke told me he was going to be giving away copies of his latest romp, ZOMBIE CANDY, I figured to blog about it the day before so any of you out there who haven’t yet snatched up this unique, zany, fun-filled book can download a Kindle copy FREE. That’s […]

  I am so happy today to host my good friend and accomplished author Beth Elisa Harris (Vision Trilogy) in promoting her newly released book Soul Herder!! Beth was kind enough to answer a few interview questions so that some of you who don’t know her can get to know the author a bit. Her […]

 

My New Book – My Love of Writing (And a Glimpse)

On March 8, 2012, in Book Release, Teaser/Sample, WIP, by rsguthrie

Most often here I write about the market, offer writing tips, host wonderful guest bloggers. I really enjoying penning this blog. But it shouldn’t be too surprising for me to share that there’s nothing I love more than writing my books. Is there anything better than hunkering down and going elbow-deep in the art? Can […]

 

15 Seconds of FAME (or “The King and I”)

On January 6, 2012, in Book Release, Famous Writers, Indie Authors, The Market, by rsguthrie

I am currently running a free promo for my new book, L O S T, the sequel to Black Beast. So I’ve been spending the day watching L O S T slowly climb up the “Free” store at Amazon (at the writing of this blog post I am 12 hours into my promotion and L […]

 

Cover Lover?

On January 5, 2012, in Book Release, Opinion, by rsguthrie

Well, my second book is out there and doing pretty well. WHEW! Yes, any of you that have published your book(s) know the relief that washes over the top of that rock in the middle of your chest once you are DONE—you know, the smooth stone of FEAR that won’t let you breath or swallow […]
