WELCOME TO PRIDE MONTH!
Be an ally, during pride and all life long!

We love you. We hope we do a good job of valuing Pride all year! For this year’s Pride I was thinking about probably the first time I ever knew there were people who were gay, when I read Rita Mae…

COPYRIGHT LAW (in the USA) EXPLAINED
To visit click the photo or HERE. What a great little resource this is. Isn’t it wonderful how some sites offer so much for no charge at all? We buy copyright for all of our single-book authors, and it is important to have, and our pleasure to provide. As an offshoot of this topic, I am often asked by authors if they can republish with a publisher something they have self-published on the web,…

HIBERNACULUM starts out like most books, neat, clean, crisp white pages, chapters, titles, headers, all nice and normal. And it ends like this: It ends on notebook paper, torn from a spiral notebook, and hidden. The book is fiction, and there is all story there, and you get to know and love the characters very well and much. But Anthony digs in. And so, why would the world come to have places…
