I have read so many manuscripts in the last six weeks. We released M.Christian’s In Control, a collection of erotic short stories. After I finish this newsletter, I will be doing a final pass on Christian’s and Ralph Greco Jr.’s manuscript, S*x: Everything You Didn’t Know You Needed to Know. This nonfiction collection of essays will release in February, hopefully in time for Valentine’s Day....

Join Angel Ackerman every second Thursday of the month, to explore a new creative writing technique and work on developing your unique writing style!

The theme is setting goals— and we’re going to talk about personalizing your goals and deciding what is both reasonable and worthwhile for you....

Their monthly beverage subscription lessens my guilt when I host client and author meetings at Panera (and I do have a local favorite— it’s the one in the Southmont Shopping Center in Bethlehem Township, Pa.)

These are the books I read this year that I thought deserved top marks-- which is only 12 out of the 76 books I finished in 2024.
