    Wow!! What a Store!!

    WMG Publishing Started a New Diving Universe Store And right now it is having a grand opening sale.  Go to www.divingintothewreck.com and browse around. Imagine the store without all the Grand Opening sales stuff. And imagine something like it as your own author web site. Yes, Shopify can do all kinds of looks and blogs and anything a regular web site can do and so much more.  I loved the Pulphouse Shopify Store and our main WMG Books store we call “the mothership.” But when I saw how Stephanie Writt had built this store, the first thing I thought of was an author web site. It would be one of…

    Down in the Details Classes

    I Fell Behind On My Hoped-For Recording Dates… But I will catch up over the next week or so on all three of the Down in the Details classes. I will send a message over the Teachable group on every class when I finish another one. And yes, I know the collections on these sound like fun, but the story you write for each one needs to be out in the mail to major markets first. The collections will never close and if you sell a story to a major magazine, you can write another for me. (I will never know.) Remember, those collections will never close, meaning that if…
