Where Awesome Book Readers Meet Awesome Writers

1. Hemingways Attic (Surviving as a Writer)

   About Hemingways Attic (Surviving as a Writer):

   I wrote in Ernest Hemingway’s birthplace Attic for ten years. I have published six novels with three on the way. I have survived. But it was not easy. Writing in America is extremely difficult. It is almost impossible to survive. So I wrote this book for the person who chooses the writing life. It is not easy. In fact it is almost dangerous. But it is survivable if you use your head. And you don’t have to write on the side to do it. You can be a writer and survive. I know. I have done it.

   Author Bio:
   I was born in Maine but I’ve spent most of my life in Florida. A couple years ago I retired from Disney and moved in with my daughter and her family to focus on family, and writing. I share my woman-cave with four cats, Woofy, Jezzie, Gin Gin and Bear Cat.

   As long as I can remember I’ve been a writer. It’s a passion, at times therapy, and always a hobby that I like sharing. I write contemporary, erotic contemporary, and erotic paranormal romance. I’m published with several publishers, but I also self-publish. You can find all of my books on my author Amazon page.

   I am a Syfy junkie, and my favorite TV shows are Criminal Minds, Bitten, The Walking Dead and Revolution. Last of the Mohicans is my all time favorite movie. Good coffee, sweet iced tea, chocolate and any kind of sandwich are my addictions.

   I enjoy hearing from readers.

   About Alan Lennox and the Temp Job of Doom:

   Alan Lennox has been assigned yet another soul-crushing temp job, keeping him from his first loves – drinking, playing video games, and looking for a boyfriend. But Alan’s new job proves to be anything but boring when his co-workers start turning up dead.

   The mysterious megacorporation Amalgamated Synergy has taken a deadly interest in Alan and his three roommates, and the hapless quartet are woefully unequipped to deal with the psychotic secretaries, murderous middle managers, and villainous vice-presidents hunting them down.

   Their investigation leads them deep into Amalgamated Synergy’s headquarters, but can Alan and his friends stay alive long enough to discover who – or what – waits for them on the top floor?

   “Alan Lennox and the Temp Job of Doom” is the first book of “The Future Next Door,” a contemporary urban science fiction comedic thriller series.

6. The Homeschool Highway 2: Further Down The Road by Amy Dingmann

   

   About The Homeschool Highway 2: Further Down The Road by Amy Dingmann

   After spending some time cruising the Homeschool Highway, you might be tempted to think you have the road all figured out.

   Well, guess what? They didn’t teach you everything in driver’s ed.

   Join Amy Dingmann, author, speaker, and homeschooling mom of two, as she takes you on her continued journey in The Homeschool Highway: Further Down the Road. Follow along as she drops her tire in a Pothole of Pride. Listen while she explains why you should Bypass the Drive-Thru (that one where you can have everything “your way”.) Look on while she checks out the Caravan of Separate Cars and explores the good, bad, and ugly of homeschool co-ops. Join her in declining an invitation to the Homeschool Pity Party, and help scan the horizon to see if there is anyone out there besides Those Women Drivers. Consider her valid reason why the homeschoolers behind you might only hear Blah-Blah-Blah From the Front Seat. Wonder together with her about the struggles in the different stages of homeschooling, From Rear Facing Seats to Shoulder Belts. Turn down the radio and settle in for a healthy debate on the reasons some homeschoolers are Taking Shelter in the Ditch. Finally, pull off to a wayside rest for the night and discuss the wisdom that is found by Looking in the Rearview Mirror.

   It’s time to get back in your bucket seat and put the Minivan of Awesome in gear. There’s always more to learn as you travel Further Down the Road.

   Get the book from Amazon.
