Barbie Porn
Over the years there are things that have been ruined for me. You know flying isn't the glamour trip I thought it would be, hot dogs are flat out gross and most celebrities (without their make up) rival the TV show The Living Dead. I get that at some point we all have...
And the Oscar goes to…Casting The Publicist
So we've all done it. Every author has stood in front of the mirror, holding a brush, curling iron, whatever and said "I'd like to thank..." practicing their imaginary acceptance speech for the award-winning movie or TV version of their book. Taking this a step...
The Amazing Power Behind Writing Fiction: Notes from The Publicist, Book Three

Are you a Street Vendor or an Author?
