Twitterific links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming)
which has over 23,000 free articles on writing related topics. It's the search
engine for writers.
Friend and fellow
mystery writer Margot
Kinberg has compiled a crime fiction anthology: In
a Word--Murder. The ebook retails
for $2.99 and proceeds from its sales benefit Princess
Alice Hospice, in memory of Maxine Clarke, a supporter of and good friend
to the crime writing community. One of
my stories is in the collection, too...my first attempt at short fiction.
:)
I'm also included in
a newly-launched resource for self-publishing authors:
Wordpreneur
Peeps: 107 Successful Indie Publishers.
Eldon Sarte from the Wordpreneur
blog has collected advice from 107 self-published authors and compiled them in
this attractively-priced November
release (currently at $.99). His blog is also a helpful resource for
independent authors.
Have a great week!
