Let’s Get Busy! Aussie Three-Fer

The compelling lure of forbidden and unlikely bonds, both in love and in friendship. The drama in the fight to soar and thrive over otherwise throttled dreams. The magic in the beauty of the island continent and the history of its people. These are the elements that combine to make Southern Skyes a series like none other. And now you can purchase the first three books of the series, beautifully produced in luscious color and design, for a single price of $25 (USD, exclusive of shipping). The books are...

Aussie Writer Salutes her Homeland

Sydney-born Sharyn Bradford Lunn, author of the popular Australian historical series Southern Skyes, wrote this today about what the 26th of January means to her country.

The First Fleet of convicts arrived in New South Wales on January 26, 1788. We are still such a young country, but we've much to celebrate. The fireworks on Sydney Harbour tonight will be...

Sniffing out Your Best-Smeller, uh, Seller

I want a new category of "Best." I wanted it rated by people, real people, readers who read the book and say, this was the best I've read in a while, or this wasn't quite up to speed but I liked it for this reason, and look forward to the next. But geez, BEST-SELLER seems to be on everyone's cover these days, and while I understand the desire to acclaim oneself as "best" in something, I also think "best-seller" status,...

Marianka Mojo :: The Gift of Peace

I want to talk about Marianka. She’s a twenty-something neighbor, whom I know only through a high-school friend, whom I haven’t seen for 30 years (her husband), and both of whom live a mere 10 minutes away from me. She is a spectacular woman. She changed me, for the better. Here’s the gig: Okay, giving forward. Do unto others. Live for the living. Random acts of kindness. You’ve heard of these concepts . . . where people “give just to give”...

One Cool Customer Changes Everything

One cool customer. That's all it takes to change your world. We found ours in December 2010. Before then, our transcription services mostly centered around medical reports and letters, with an occasional interview or conference call recording -- an integral part of our services, but admittedly, one of the less exciting. Until December 2010. That's when our one cool customer walked in (well, emailed in) , catapulting our transcription work to a whole new level: ICY COOL. DeMarco Williams, 35, is a pop culture/sports...
