    I would like to suggest reading THE ENDLESS HOUR- The True Story of a Haunted Soul.I completed publication
    in November 2010.

    Over eighteen years in the making,THE ENDLESS HOUR is about an illustration I created in 1988 that became
    reality two years later,which involves a spiritual death experience.

    This touching and terrifying true story is not only about me.It is also about... you.

    For more information go to theendlesshour.com. Once you enter the website you can watch the book video and
    read reviews. You may also want to visit amazon.com and read the first seven chapters of THE ENDLESS HOUR.

    Thanks,
    Jesse

    The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. I might have misspelled his last name, but I think it's on my shelf. I thought about letting Sidney make his own Shelfari page so he could see his progress into more challenging books, which, of course, he wouldn't appreciate until he gets a little older.

    Dear Yvonne:

    Because you are a Shelfari friend and, obviously, a fellow Nashville lover, 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

    Ha! You are probably a better herald of news about my newsletter than I. Here's the motto: "A newsletter that is also a community. Share your ideas. Learn from theirs!" It covers tons of promo tips, the craft of writing ideas, publishing news and more. I even put out two AllTips editions a year and everyone loves those. Send me an e-mail with "Subscribe" in the subject line. HoJoNews@aol.com. Thanks for asking, dear Yvonne.
