Guest Post with Wendy D. Walter, Author of Ambril’s Tale
She had nothing to compare it with, as she’d lived an ordinary life until an hour ago, when she’d been pelted by Brussels sprouts, accidentally fought off a demon with a decorated stick, and was almost vacuumed up by a smelly, smoky monster. (Excerpt from Ambril’s Tale by Wndy D. Walter)

Why E.L. James’ 50 Shades of Grey is Popular and How You, Too, Can Be a Bestselling Author (Pt. 2 of 2)
In my last post, I revealed how I thought the reason E.L. James’ 50 Shades of Grey became so popular was because of the tie on the cover.

I think fiction authors need more tailored support. (Yes, I’m working on it! My Twitter for Authors book is editorial as we speak. Can’t you see me working on it!)
