Google eBookstore – Good or Bad for Authors?

While I was catching up with my emails yesterday, I saw an advert flash up above them directing me to the Google eBookstore. Out of curiosity I entered and perused the science fiction section, then the space opera subheading, looking for my own sci-fi space opera novel. Of course, it wasn’t there. And yet when [...]

Feminist Godly Mythology

Feminist Godly Mythology

My personal thanks to Sage Sweetwater who befriended and encouraged me with her reviews, “Joyce’s poems are really good…Feminist godly mythology… sensuous, of love, of women and addictive, competitive drama…Angel-bearing wings, Joyce White’s poetry flies above life’s fault line.” Of my book, Sculpting the Heart with Art Therapy E-book, she says, “this book is about [...]

Kavoos Soofi immigrated to Canada from Iran in 2004 through a student visa. It expires every 2 years. In 2006, he renewed his visa and applied for refugee status.

A Jungian scholar, I have studied why people do the things they do and act the way they act since the early 1990s and I hold the U.S. Patent & Trademark for her personality typing [...]

So How Did It All Start?

So How Did It All Start?

“So how did it all start?” Might be a good question if we all do that you know, check for why we are here on earth, in terra firma, and see if we had a beginning. The classic argument about what came first, the egg or the chicken. We all have a story to tell [...]

My Recipe for a Blurb

My Recipe for a Blurb

My recipe for a blurb is to treat it as a taster for the book. A good grounding in the art of precise’ is if not essential, a great help. Take the salient points from a chapter and to lead the prospecting reader to want to read on. Remember you are promoting the work, give [...]

Judge Lest Not Ye Be Judged

Judge Lest Not Ye Be Judged

I saw an article about a judge who was complaining about Britain taking in all the worst elements of every country around the World, criminals and lay-abouts, terrorists and general trouble makers, people coming to Britain to escape criminal charges in their own countries and carry out those same acts here. Well I thought, are [...]

How A Rainy Day Can Change Your Life

How A Rainy Day Can Change Your Life

The day fate took me by the hand. This story started before the time of the accident in question. Wed July 6th, 2011 I had to go into the city to pay for a course I was taking in the Sept in writing, rain running down the gutters and steaming my glasses. When I came out, [...]
