I have found that as the university year continues on without any break that reading books, beyond the thousands of pages in textbooks, for enjoyment puts a bright spot in my day. How would one make it through the day without the wealth of knowledge that books contain?
This question remains unanswered.

    Hello. My name is Skip Stover and an author of love poetry and Suspense/Romance novels. My latest book, Dangerous Love, 2010 A.D. is now available on Amazon.com, but will be available in all major booksstores across America and on-line around the world. The ISBN # is 9781432708207. I am an author that supports anyone that writes with help and by purchasing their book. . I used to live in the library as a child and read all the time. I still find reading one of the most relaxing, stress releasing hobbies. I love writing at my favorite coffee shop. I donate all my roylaties, from Soltiary Thoughts to The Baltimore Ronald McDonald House, to help the families and children in medical need. I would like to invite you as a friend. Skip Stover, author

    How would one make it through the day without the wealth of knowledge that books contain? Answer: One would not be able to make it through the day. One would wither up and be blown away w/out books.

    Dear Abby:

    As a Shelfari friend, I thought I'd pass on to you a quiz I'm using to promote my new book, the 2nd in the HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers after the award-winning The Frugal Book Promoter is a must for writers and includes lots of good stuff important for any writer to know. It is, ta da! The Frugal Editor: Put Your Best Book Forward to Avoid Humiliation and Ensure Success.

    Check Your Sell-Your-Book Expertise with Carolyn's Quiz


    Every writer should know the answer to these or know how to find out :


    1. What is the rule posted by most agents and publishers I can break in order to sell my book faster?
    2. How can a style sheet help me edit my book or work better with my editor?
    3. Why do I need to know about indexing?
    4. How can I corral Word's Spell Checker to help rather than hinder my editing process?
    5. Why is editing important to getting a publisher or an agent when my publisher's editor will help me with that anyway?
    6. Why should I rarely send out a cover letter rather than a query letter?
    7. Why should I avoid using italics for internal dialogue? How do you avoid using them for internal dialogue?
    8. What perfectly natural and grammar-perfect thing should I avoid telling an agent?
    9. How can I turn adverbs that slow my narrative into metaphors?
    10. How can I purge my copy of passive constructions using a computer?
    11. How can code words in my document help avoid humiliation?
    12. How do I avoid superfluous quotation marks that annoy agents and editors?


    If you don't know the answers to most every one of these 12 questions without peeking you are sure to benefit from the newly released

    The Frugal Editor: Put Your Best Book Forward to Avoid Humiliation and Ensure Success
    available now on Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0978515870/

    It's already rocketed to Amazon's Top Ten List in its category!

    ....such passion for God it seems,
    that your shelf is filled with the Word's beam
    a whisper in your ear by the Sheperd,
    oh, no need, you have already heard.

    Abby! Nice to meet you, and thanks for saying hey :) I'm glad you like what we've put together so far! I should note that your sister is sort of my arch-nemesis on Shelfari. We've been battling it out for dominance on number of opinions for a few weeks now. The rivalry has been slightly dulled, though, by the fact that both of us are being equally crushed by far more obsessive users :D
