Is It REALLY Happily Ever After?

Rule of thumb: You don't want to waste readers' time.

Rule of thumb: Staring at a blank page is a waste of time.

Those two rules of thumb explain why, when I gave my website a makeover last week, I dropped the Appearances page on the left sidebar down a few notches. There were no appearances on it, and there hadn't been any for over three months.

What I learned from this? When you drop the Appearances page down a few notches because you have nothing to put on it, you will find something to put on it.

What does all of the above mean? After a long break, I return to the road. Just one appearance, but it's an appearance nonetheless.

On Wednesday, August 16, I'll be on a panel at the Schaumburg Township District Library, 2nd Floor, Adult Classroom, 130 South Roselle Road, Schaumburg, Ill., from 7-9 P.M. Joining me on the panel discussion, Is It REALLY Happiliy Ever After, will be other local first-time authors Simone Elkeles, Jimmy Jack, Gail Lukasik, Ann Macela, Morgan Mandel, Joseph Rizio, and Marcus Sakey. We'll be discussing what it's like to sell and market that first book. You kow, the one that you put your life's blood into. 

So, is it REALLY happily ever after? Oh, I can't ruin the ending for you. You'll have to come by the Schaumburg Library and find out for yourself.
