Thanks for stopping by. The book, STD is a powerful book for those who desire to be set free and made whole from past sexual attachments and generational bondages. Much of what we struggle with has to do with the doors that we have opened in our lives. Congrats on your debut poem book...doesn't it feel good to see your work in print? Bless you.

This is just a heads up - A new company is starting in 2009. It will publish novels for women over 40. In other words, the main character has to be a female, over 40 years of age. She does not have to be black. The writer's gender and age is not an issue. All genres welcome: general, mystery, romance, historical, etc. Write to Brenda Frazier for more information. Her email address is: writingtimes@aol.com

Christi. I happen to be online. Your question takes a long answer and a certain type of mindset. Mostly always remember to show and not tell. Paint a picture with your words. You don't have to give every detail. Hit the high points of your story by telling the query reader what makes your story tick.
Hi Christi, welcome! Visit my friend and client's web sites: www.MarilynnGriffith.com and www.SistahFaith.com and you will find info on writing and even her blog in there somewhere that deals with the craft. Blessings!
Please do not greet everyone on the site with large images and announcements of your book or business. Yes, you want to tell the world, but learn the fine art of subtlety. A simple welcome and signature/link is fine. Let them ask you for more.
