I am very upset today. A place I have called my online home since 2009 has been recently bought by a company called VerticalScope, Inc. and all hell has broken loose on the board. This place is known as Kboards.com Writer's Cafe. And I have learned what I know about self-publishing a lot from this … Continue reading The Death of Kboards.Com: My Indie Publishing Home Implodes

Message from Marilyn Vix: Beware of Pirate Sites with MY BOOKS!
So, it's come to my attention that there are pirate sites out in cyberspace that have listings for my books. Which is kind of sad. It shows disrespect for the authors and how much work is put into a novel or novella. Loads of hours and sometimes years of work, stolen. But many of these … Continue reading Message from Marilyn Vix: Beware of Pirate Sites with MY BOOKS!
All Romance Ebooks (ARe) Bankruptcy and Closure Update July 2018
So, back when this all happened in December 2016, I was an author that had a minimal amount owed to me by All Romance Ebooks, like around $10.

All Romance Ebooks (ARe) Update On Closure and Lori James
So, back in December last year when All Romance Ebooks (ARe) closed, I followed all the news, links and hoopla that ensued. Authors lost their money owed unless they took a pay out deal of 10 cents on the dollar that was owed. Readers had only mere days to download their titles before the website … Continue reading All Romance Ebooks (ARe) Update On Closure and Lori James
Marketing Versus Sales: A Writer’s Take on AMS ads
I recently attended a book launching panel with my local RWA group, Silicon Valley RWA, yesterday. I had some interesting a-ha moments that I realize I need to share. I felt this way due to the fact that all authors now, whether traditional published, self-published or a hybrid need to be aware how to do marketing … Continue reading Marketing Versus Sales: A Writer’s Take on AMS ads
New Wattpad Project: Do It For Love (A Romantic Suspense)
So, I've started a new Wattpad project called Do It For Love. It started out as a write up that I had as as dream, probably from the fact I'd been watching "Cold Case" on TV and that my best friend died in 1997 from liver failure. But in my dream, I was watching a … Continue reading New Wattpad Project: Do It For Love (A Romantic Suspense)
