Stafford Battle commented on Kiyeta F Johnson's blog post Yes authors write, but you'd better speak too if you want to sell books!
"Good advice. Best selling authors are willing get out and meet people and not just sit at home waiting for sales to drift in. I  would suggest getting on panels for various conferences and conventions. There are thousands of opportunities…"

Thanks!

Thanks, for the support! I love bouncing between ATL and DC. I want to bring NYC into the mix. My goal is to build enthusiasm for all our publications. I've been "good" busy the last few days. Responses have been good for the book signing.  More information about obtaining AFROCyberspace via the publisher (22nd Century Press) will be posted here and at http://www.afrocyberspace.com . Next summer, will be a blast!

Hey Stafford, it's been a year since I visited your page. I love what I see. Congratulations on everything. Look, I've been fooling around in MS Paint and producing some amazing stuff for an amateur, and I love that sketch of you on your profile. It looks like what I see can be done in MS Paint. Did you do it there? See some of my sketches on my blog http://artthebeautyoflife.blogspot.com/

Blessings,
Princess Ayo

Advice on Exploring Erotica in Your Writing

MediaBistro's Morning Media Menu had a conversation with author Jamie Brenner about advice for writers looking to explore this newly crowded genre. An excerpt from Brenner: My first erotic novel came out two years ago.
