How to Personalize Your eBook
eBooks catch a lot of flak from their paperback and hardback “big brothers.” There are some features of printed books that eBooks just can’t offer. eBooks don’t have that beloved new book smell (the smell is so adored that there’s even a candle for it), eBooks don’t allow you to display your book collection in your house, […]

One of the first major public conflicts surrounding the oil business originated with John D. Rockefeller, who demonstrated that the […]
If My Characters Had Winter Break: Traditions Around the States
This time of year I’m especially appreciative of Florida. Largely for the same reasons many of my books take place in Florida. The high today is 78 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius)— and it’s almost December! Just like Florida can do a mean Halloween, Florida can pull off a heck of a holiday/Christmas/winter celebration, too! One […]
