Seven Books this Summer

Seven Books this Summer

Published by Don on July 11, 2020

Thanks for asking! I am working on seven books this summer, two of which are fiction, and the other five non-fiction. They are ALL going to be equally GREAT! Yes, unlike my previous books, like the three-book series on the Imposter Syndrome. I am so tempted to list the working titles to whet your appetites, but of course, that practice is considered bad luck by my people. Maybe later.

PJ’s zucchini, beans and cornbread dinner – the way writers eat!

PJ’s zucchini, beans and cornbread dinner – the way writers eat!

Published by Don on January 21, 2020

A couple of you have asked me what life is like being an author.  Of course, the answer to that is easy to show.  Writers eat.  We sometimes sleep.  And often, we write. Writers eat! We do seem to put a larger-than-life emphasis on the eating part.  And my healthy diet is strictly due to my lovely wife, PJ.  So, I will point out a few additional food images.  E-mail Updates Subscription with Gift Card…

There is a saying back where I’m from.  If you and a friend are being chased by a lion, you don’t have to be faster than the lion. Just be faster than your friend. It may surprise you, but this is not the first blog I have worked on.

What Should I Write About Today?

What Should I Write About Today?

Published by Don on February 27, 2019

Written by Don Martin.  For his updates go here. This question focuses us on another.  Why do I write?  Actually, I have enjoyed writing for more than fifty years.  Sometimes though, I feel more like the person who said they did not like writing as much as they liked having written. So the answer to that one, is that I like to write.  I like to have written.  I have spent my life often doing…

“Did you blow a fuse,” Kenny asked me. “I don’t think so.”  I leaned over and turned a table lamp on and off with no effect.  “I thought we had until the fifteenth,” I said. “What is today?” Kenny asked in his own way of being slightly obtuse. “This is the seventeenth,”  I answered, as I looked at the calendar.  One of us felt a little embarrassed, and I could tell by Kenny’s smug look…

Friday is finally here!

Published by Don on April 6, 2018

In addition to writing as much as I can, I also operate a company and a website that helps people sell their own house, using the Multiple Listing Service.  It seems to be a very popular place on Friday afternoons. Customers remember their Open Houses they forgot to put on the website.  Other customers have just thought of a list of edits they want made before the weekend. Some real estate agents are scurrying to…

Published by Don on April 27, 2017

My publisher told me today that the time was here for me to focus on my website and my blog.  I was not even sure I had a blog, but I was told I needed to let my readers feel a bit more at home with me – to know what I had been doing and was about to do. Book inventory It was suggested that now that I had thirteen titles published, I needed…
