I love to support other authors on my blog with reviews and guest posts. Those reviews cover fiction and nonfiction, and authors can find details at REVIEW GUIDELINES.

I started writing with a pen and paper those many moons ago before computers, but I rarely used a pen as fine as the one below. Common writing utensils consisted of stubs of pencils my kids left scattered around the house, or ball-point pens with an ad for A-One Plumbing emblazoned on them. Still, I wrote, and continue to write. If we writers were in it solely for the money, most of us would be considered losers.

Success is that heart-to-heart connection we make with people who read our words.
Old-fashioned fountain pen.

If I had more wall space in my home I’d get a poster of Beyond the Crack in The Sidewalk. I loved the art work the minute I saw the first draft of the cover.

Now there’s a teddy bear with a shirt featuring the cover of Beyond the Crack in the Sidewalk.

I’m a real sucker for a soft, huggable teddy bear and this one is going on my wish list.
