Publisher for ebooks

Hi All,

I wanted to give to all my writers out there a publisher that is now accepting submissions.

Desert Breeze Publishing- A romance, women's  fiction, short story publisher.  

As an indie author, I understand how difficult it is to find a publisher especially who will publish short stories.

Check out Desert Breeze and let me know how you do if you decided to submit your work.  I am still promoting my novella  Another Lifetime. 
 It can be time-consuming and I am trying not to spend money on advertising. 

Want a romantic fantasy story to read?    Buy Another Lifetime   and go along the journey with Nora.      Available on Kindle and on my blog.

Journey to another world

How cool would it be to journey to another world?   Imagine a place that's peaceful and free of the hassles in today's world.

Well, Nora the heroine in  Another Lifetime  experiences just that!.   Imagine escaping into another life and finding love.

But of course there are obstacles and some evil spirits that cause havoc with Nora.  She faces many challenges and hard decissions along the way.

In  Another Lifetime  available on my Blog and Kindle will take you on her journey into another world.  So different from ours today.

Please be kind and leave a review.

Any questions please comment or send me an email.....macourt60@gmail.com

Attention...Attention

So thank you in advance for the review.

I will keep you posted on my other book that I will be publishing soon

Have a wonderful day!

Creative Inspiration

Creative Inspiration what is it?  How does it work?

As a writer, I need the urge that pulls me to write.  Creative writing can be a blessing at times or a curse.

You can't force yourself to write- you need the inspiration to do so.

However, when I am engrossed in my writing I can go on and on letting the words flow until I have finished.

Many writers find inspiration in different ways- I love to walk in nature. I find that's where I get my best ideas about stories.

I would love to hear how other writers get their inspiration to write.

If you are a writer-please share how you become inspired to write.

The Magic Herb-Preview

Here is a  sneak preview of my Ebook The Magic Herb on sale on Amazon.

I have shared  some tidbits about the story in previous posts but now I am sharing with you more.

Please leave me a review or comment on what you think.

Fantasy Love Story

Do you enjoy reading fantasy love stories?

The Magic Herb is just that!  It's available on Amazon and Barnes and Nobles.

Please leave a comment or review...I would appreciate it.

As I have said in previous posts I always use a part of a person's characteristics in my stories.  So many of my protagonists have similar personality traits of those that I know.

I find it interesting to write that way.

Are Refunds Fair To The Writer?

Are refunds fair to the writer?  The topic in this post is a common question among us writers.  As a writer, we work very hard putting an interesting story together and should our hard work be dismissed in an instant if a reader doesn't like the story?

Now, I understand if a reader doesn't care for the story and  they  want their money back but many times they have kept the book for a week which is plenty of time to read it or share it then want their money back.

I don't have a problem returning their money but perhaps not the entire amount. The writer receives nothing for their writing when money is returned.

Amazon lets the customer have it for 7 days then will return their money and the writer gets nothing!

At least the reader could leave a comment or review about the book.

State why they didn't like it.


So....any thoughts????

Creative Writing

Creative writing can be fun and exciting. It is a great way to exercise ones creative muscle by expressing ideas that happen to pop into one's head.

I enjoy walking and being in nature which  often is when ideas about stories begin to surface.

As a writer, there are so many ideas swirling around that I need to carry a notebook and write them down.

I would love to know how other writers get their ideas.  Do you enjoy writing? If so how do you get your  ideas?

If you are a writer who is reading this please share with me how you get your ideas for stories.

Going to a carnival gave me the idea to write Even Exchange and walking in the mountains of Pennsylvania gave me the idea to write The Magic Herb

I am currently editing my third book which is also a fantasy story but with a twist.  I will post when it is published.
