I know many talented people… And the authors in Under the Mists know even more. One of the talented individuals did us a book trailer. Go check it out. It truly is amazing!
Month: August 2019
August links
I normally do this post the first Saturday in the month… I am afraid that I was sick. And then I forgot that I had not done it yet. I have been incredibly squirrel brained. I apologize.
This month I have an additional section to add to my usual links.
Fae Corps Publishing.

The Body is Not an Apology – Patricia Harris
Quicksilver poetry
Something new I am thinking about. Sometimes I want to jam. Just free verse because I have too much on my mind. It will likely be rambling and not the cleanest verse. But… It will be a good look into who I am behind the edited and clean verse I usually post. This will also not necessarily be the way that the poetry ends in the books. This section will not be scheduled. It will be a whim. And I make no promise of quality….

Faery Footprints
So I normally do poetry on Monday. Well this is still on topic. My publishing company Fae Corps is doing a poetry collection. I thought that I would share details with all of you.
Information :
1.) What is Faery Footprints?
It is a collection of 100 of the best poems that we were able to find. It is the second anthology published by a indie press.
2.) What’s the catch?
No catch. No fees. We will be accepting poetry sent via email to Faecorpspublishing@gmail.com until the September 30, 2019 deadline. Send the poetry in a doc file as an attachment in the email.
3.) What is the topic?
Well, obviously the topic is what you feel like writing. We want good poetry, the best that you have. If you choose to write about faeries then cool, but it is not a required topic.
4.) What about previous published?
We are fine with previous published as long as you give us that information so that we can credit it. (As long as you still have publication rights).
5.) Oh, yeah that reminds me… What about copyright?
With Fae Corps, we do everything possible to assure that the writer retains their rights. We will have a contract allowing us the ability to publish the work that you send in this volume. That is all we are looking for.
6.) What is the compensation for this ?
We are sorry, at this time we are only able to offer contributers copies.
7.) What is the limits on the submissions?
Up to 5 poems each person with a Maximum of 100 words. We do not limit style. If you want your poem in a certain layout… Please state such in the email.
8.) So how will I know if my poem made it?
The first week of November, my fellow editor and I will be going through the submissions. I have been trying to make sure that we send a receipt for each email. By the second week we will be sending out responses.
9.) What if I don’t do poetry?
We have another anthology that we are working on… Go here.
10.) What if I am uncertain about my writing?
Send us your poetry anyway… My partner and I will try to give you feedback. And any poetry that does not make it into the collection has a chance of being featured on our blog.
What could it hurt to reach out and try?
In Search of Our Mother’s Gardens – Patricia Harris
Friday Tips
Today I am going to touch on something that I have trouble with… Marketing. This is a little bit of common sense, a little bit of psychology, and a whole lot of courage.
My mom once told me that anyone can be a top notch salesman, all that is needed is a true belief in what you are selling. That is where I falter in my marketing. I am not as confident in my art as I should be.
So I will tell you some simple things to assist with the marketing of your writing or art.
First thing… Think about how you feel when you see ads. What do you like when you are reading book ads? Do you tend to pay attention more to just the text posts with blurbs and links, or the ones that have pictures? Most people prefer pictures. Keep in mind that the pictures only snag the attention. The blurb and title have to be good enough to keep the attention. The blurb is your call to action.
You want it to capture both the attention of your reader and the essence of your story. You don’t want to give too much, but it has to give at least some idea of what the story is about.
Next thing if all that you do is market your books people will stop following you. Nobody likes seeing only ads. Mix it up. Give teasers, jokes, or just something fun. Yes you have to share links to get people to buy, but it cannot be all of what you share. You are more than just what you are trying to sell. Use your spark to engage conversation, then after you have their attention… Say btw I have this that you may be interested in.
Lastly, you are not just your sales. So if you do not make good sales to start with, it is not a sign that you will not ever. You will have good and bad weeks. You will get bad reviews. Those people are not your readers. Your readers will love the words you write. Love yourself enough that you can deal with the backlash from the ones that are not your readers.
Thursday Tea Party
Well hello lovelies! Pull up a seat! Pick a tea! I have a variety!
So, announcements.
Due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control… Creative Risings summer edition was cancelled this year. The good news is I will be in the fall edition. Which is due in September.
Serena has decided to step back from Life, guilt, and undeath for a bit. Though it has been worked on, she is struggling with it. Her thought is to work on something else until it flows easier. She is working on The Kingdoms of Sin, a book based upon a game world of my creation. I am hoping that she does it justice.
Been fighting my back all week. So it means that I have been falling behind in my own writing. Pain makes writing difficult proposition. So I have been a less vocal blogger this week. I apologize. I am hoping to fix it in time to post for Monday. Normally I have Thursday and Friday posts written ahead of time. This week I am behind.
I have been following the prompts given by Christine over on the brave and reckless blog. So my blog has been seeing more activity on the weekend lately. I don’t know how long that will continue. I do know that I am going to be doing Sketchtember and inktober over on my Patreon this year. You can see those pieces for as little as $1 a month.
Well that’s the announcements for this week. So, now I have a question… What song would you like to see my thoughts on Tuesday tunes?
