Grammar Snufus by Karla Stover

Okay, here's the deal. When did people become "that" instead of "who?" I hear this on the radio on the TV ( and shouldn't news reporters know better )? and unless my memory is wrong, have even read it in places. Why? How hard is it to remember that people require a "who"? And here's another--myself instead of me. My boss did this all this time and it drove me crazy. Are we so afraid to  be in the spotlight that we have to say, "So-and-so and myself did such-and-so?"

The Secret

Canadian Authors Past and Present by Joan Donaldson-Yarmey--Alberta

http://www.bookswelove.com/donaldson-yarmey-joan/ Canadian Authors Past and Present Canada celebrated its 150 th anniversary in 2017. To commemorate the occasion my publisher, Books We Love, Ltd (BWL) brought out the Canadian Historical Brides Series during 2017 and 2018. There are twelve books, one about each province, one about the Yukon, and one combining the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Each book was written by a BWL Canadian author or co-authored by a Canadian and an international BWL author. Each province and territory of Canada has spawned many well-known authors and my series of posts this year will be about them-one or two from the past and one or two from the present, the present-day ones being the authors of the Brides book for the corresponding province or territory. The posts are in the order that the books were published. Alberta Henrietta Louise Muir was born in Montreal on December 18, 1849, into a middle class family. When she was twenty-six-years old she and h...

Bath Costume Museum by Victoria Chatham

AVAILABLE FROM THESE MARKETS One of the joys for me as a writer of historical romance is visiting museums. No matter what the era, a museum can be a source of so much material a writer can become spoiled for choice. It is said that the devil is in the details and sometimes an extra detail is one too many, but starting out with a menu of items gives an author so much choice. I was spoiled for choice when I visited the Costume Museum in Bath, England, last fall. I had not been to Bath for a very long time, over thirty years, but I found it had hardly changed. The sights I Assembly Rooms ceiling remembered were not the sights I had come for on this visit. This time my destination was the Costume Museum, housed in the basement of the Bath Assembly Rooms. Yes, dear reader, the very Assembly Rooms where so many of Georgette Heyer's heroines fanned themselves after having tripped the light fantastic with their heroes.  My daughter accompanied me on this visit and I hoped she would get som...

I'm at a Crossroads with my series. What do you readers think?

Descriptions and Buy links for all my books can be found here on my BWL Publishing author page. https://bookswelove.net/pittman-jude/ I personally loved writing my Indian Creek Texas series. Since Kelly McWinter is the main character in all of them, and they are all mysteries, I've used the series title Kelly McWinter PI.  This has worked well and the first three books have sold well over several years and continue to sell (although at a much slower pace, of course).  I now have the first three combined in a trilogy, and I'm releasing the eBook for only $3.99, which is definitely a bargain for readers, but I'm hoping lots of you will enjoy reading about the inhabitants of Indian Creek, Texas as much as I've enjoyed writing about them .  In 2017 I decided to continue the series with a 4th book, Deadly Lights, which I released, and which really has never caught on like the first three.  Readers who have purchased the book have given it good reviews.  It has a comb...

The Mysterious Derec Pritchard by Diane Scott Lewis

For my Revolutionary War adventure, Her Vanquished Land , my main male character is a Welshman with a dark past. Let's find out more about Derec Pritchard with a Character Interview:     Derec, the Welsh don't care much fore the English, why do you spy for their cause? The tall, lanky man took a chair. "Aye, I needed money, and to leave Wales after an...incident with my step-father, a horrible man." An incident? "He used his fists on my mum." His black eyes above sharp cheekbones burned fiercely. "I had to stab him, not to death mind. But scared him off. Now I send her money to keep her from being evicted." I see. That was awful for you and your mother. What are your duties is the spying business? "Code breaking. Stopping messengers, taking their satchels." He pushed back his three-cornered hat. "Sending the information to the British generals." Is that how you met Miss Marsh? "Not exactly. She's a hoyden, that one....

The Waiting Game by Stuart R. West

Click for comedy, mystery and murrrrrderrrrrrrr most dumb! Recently, I encountered surely one of the world's worst waiters at a Mexican restaurant. Let's call him "Nelson (because that was his name)." Combative, non-communicative, just plain bad table etiquette. He mistakenly delivered baked beans instead of refried. My wife told me to let him know about it. No thanks. After the fight he put up over his bringing flour instead of corn tortillas, I didn't want things to escalate to violence. Still, he got the last laugh. When he swept my plate out from under me (without asking), he dropped my knife an inch from my hand. No apologies. Now I'm no waiter, never have been one, yet I do have empathy for those plying the fine trade of waiting. And, as always, I'm here to help. Hence, Stuart's Easy School of Good Waiting for the low, low price of three $39.99 installments . Order now and you'll receive a free doily. Waiters, kindly remember the...
