Updates:
Are you all planning to come to the LA Times Book Festival on the UCLA campus on April 23 and 24th? Some of my author friends and I will have a booth called “Authors' Coalition.” We'll be in booth number 905, I section, near Knudsen Hall. Please visit. This fair offers tons of seminars and panels for writers and readers and is a great way to spend the day with youngsters. I'll include a list of booth participants in the next "Sharing with Writers."
Raffle for Charity: A group of fine e-book authors is participating in a free CD offer and a raffle; it is associated with our LA Times Festival booth as a promotion. The items include several great LA and Santa Monica area restaurants as well as books and author-promotion type gifts. Learn more about the raffle and the charity it promotes here: http://www.double-dragon-ebooks.com/raffle.asp and check out the release at Electronic Book Review at http://www.electronicbookreviews.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&
artid=6&page=1. This is a great site to work with for your own promotions. |

To Dallas Hodder Franklin: In her newsletter for writers she says, "And Carolyn Howard-Johnson gives us another word for her Affecting Words column. This month Carolyn talks about Semantic Narrowing and you’ll learn new meanings for the words gruesome and fob. What’s a fob, you ask and how’s gruesome a noun?
