“To Revenge or Not to Revenge?”

Ever heard the phrase, “Something Wicked This Way Comes?” Author, Ashley Fontainne’s, novel ‘Adjusting Journal Entries’ is wickedly entertaining, thought provoking, and just all together thrilling!

As with all her books, Ms. Fontainne does her research – creates memorable characters, spot on dialogue, and always leaves her readers wanting more. Ms. Fontainne’s literary works remind me of another great author I adore, John Grisham.

 ‘Adjusting Journal Entries,’ the third book in the (Snake) series, wraps up this trilogy with a most thrilling conclusion. The reader follows, Audra Tanner, the heroine of the series, as she continues her flight for revenge. Who has not wanted revenge at one time or another in their life? As a reader, I long for plots with twist and turns – colorful characters, and scenarios that will ‘wow’ me. You will get all the above and more with, ‘Adjusting Journal Entries.’

Ashley Fontainne’s trilogy includes, ‘Accountable to None,’ ‘Zero Balance,’ and ‘Adjusting Journal Entries.’ I highly recommend adding all to your library!

Save Your Sanity Life Coaching, LLC - Coaching by Demetria Rupkey

I'm happy to introduce to you, Demetria Rupkey - a new writer friend of mine. I think after you read a little about her - you'll be wanting to know more. Please read her bio below and check out her literary reads - you'll be glad that you did...!




I am a Life Coach, Ordained Minister, Student, Wife and a Mother / Stepmother of five children. Our children are 19,18,15,14 and 7. I am also an abuse survivor that writes with a passion for helping others travel the road to recovery. I fully understand what it feels like to be a victim of abuse as well as how deeply i...t can affect all areas of your life.



From the ages of 5 to 14 I was a victim of sexual abuse, incest and rape. The things I endured in silence through those years put my life in a catastrophic state. I led a troubled life for quite a while, to say the least. I became a wife and teen mother at just 16 years old; it was a very difficult time in my life. My ex-husband was a very abusive person. I endured 2 years of beatings, mental abuse and emotional abuse. In that time frame we had two kids together. The last beating I took left me very visibly battered and bruised; I left with the kids and just two diapers and the clothes on our backs. The kids and I went to a shelter and slowly I had to build a life for us. It was not enough for him to abuse me – as I later learned – he sexually abused and raped our children. He is now serving 30 years in prison.



I had four kids by the time I was 21 and the kids and I struggled – but we made it together. It is amazing where determination can get you. Three of my children have Asperger’s Syndrome and they are wonderful people and great kids! All of my children and my step daughter are more than we could have ever asked for. What children bring to your life is nothing short of miraculous. In my early 20's I met a woman who would have a profound effect on my life, someone who would teach me what it was to be a survivor. She was a Life Coach that I just happened to literally bump into at a grocery store. Everything I was feeling and thinking must have been written all over my face because she picked up on it immediately. Within a couple days we were working together on a regular basis. I will never forget the things she taught me – she was truly destined to be a Life Coach.



I met my husband in 2006. We had a whirlwind relationship from the very beginning. We just connected on every level, I was not even aware that feelings like those existed. We were married by 2008 and I thank my lucky stars each day that he and his daughter are a part of our lives. Until him I never knew what complete trust and honesty meant.



My coaching methodologies did not come from therapists, councilors or textbook knowledge but from personal experience. I do not teach or write about anything that I have no personal knowledge in. It is my passion to help other people gain the life and respect they so deserve.

Excellent Information - Awesome Articles: Kindlenookebook

Students are reading a lot more since eReaders came along. With the
proliferation of video games, movies and cell phones over the last 20
years, our children have become more tech savvy than any of us
baby-boomers ever were. The Idea of holding a traditional book seemed
foreign to them. Reading seemed to be a chore rather than time well
spent.

Mario, Donkey Kong and the various shoot 'em up games held their
attention more than any book could. "Why should I read the book when I can watch the movie?", was what I heard quite often. Those of us who love to read know the answer to that one and now students are beginning to learn the
answer as well. All it took was an electronic device with actual words in it to get their attention. I started {kindlenookebook} to make
available all the eBooks, devices, advice and opinions in one place and
to help spread a love of reading to the younger generation.

To Tag or Not Tag To Like or Not Like – That is The Question

The discussion of whether tagging and liking ‘ones’ product page effectively boosts sales is an important topic. As an author with a handful of books available on Amazon, I am endlessly exploring profitable avenues.

Tagging is labeling something in order to enhance your odds of others finding it. There are those that disagree with this method. Let us look at how this works. You are sitting at your computer just browsing around on Amazon, and decide that you want to look for a book such as “how to write a paranormal thriller,” how does Amazon determine what to offer up? This is where the tagging comes into play. Placing organized tags to your book that are related to the subject greatly enhances your books odds of being found. When others agree with your tags and check the appropriate boxes – the books probability of ranking higher is significant. No one is going to purchase your book if they cannot find it!

Even when writing an article such as this – the process of tagging is essential in order for my editorial to gain exposure.

Don’t just take my word that tagging and liking on your book product page is important. Read what International Best-selling Author, Vincent Zandri has to say about the process on his blog – The Vincent Zandri Vox.

So tweet, network on Facebook, promote your websites and blog, – use every source available in order to bring attention to your literary works…tag, tag, tag.
