As a book ghostwriter, I get approached by many people who say, "I've always wanted to write a book." Sometimes, the person knows exactly what she would write about. What might be holding her back from actually writing the book is a whole 'nother post in itself. But what about those people who don't know? They know ...
A few weeks back I signed up as a "source" on Help A Report Out (HARO) and since then I've been getting emails that are really quite fascinating...

And then something cool hits you square in the face and it's like: Hell yeah!! Bring it, baby! I've been writing for years. And ...
Did you know July is National Anti-Boredom Month? Uh, yeah...I just stumbled across that shocking and most exciting bit of news myself. I haven't been bored for quite some time. I have too much on my plate to have a moment to get bored! But I've noticed my 4 year old just picked up the "I'm bored" bug. ...
Every so often, you hear about a wacky marketing ploy in the news. The latest? A woman selling her house and her heart. Some people will think she's insane, others - genius.
