The Squidoo Book Club
For readers, writers and anyone who loves a good book.
NEWS FLASH
You can help! You can simply explore the lenses at Room to Read - Harry Potter. If you decide to buy something you'll be supporting a great charity.
Lensmasters can help by setting your lens(es) to donate all or part of the proceeds to Room to Read and then joining the group. Please include a module that discusses your participation in the fundraiser and points to Room to Read and the group.
Note: The lens does NOT need to be about Harry Potter and it does NOT have to be new.
Our goal is to raise $10,000.

Last year I published through LuLu.com. Mine is a book of verse and full color photos of the natural beauty of southwestern Colorado. It took about 8 to 10 weeks to get my book listed on amazon.com. Posted September 26, 2008 |

Not only is it entertaining to read great books, but it is also fun to actually *meet* or work with the authors! I used to work with Keven J. Anderson--and in his science fiction, where we used to work is the setting of his novels. I've met Barry Eisler--I share his passions of Japan and the martial arts (we even spoke together in Japanese!). And, I'm a member of a writer's critique group and helped to edit Rich Paloma's two police novels. It would be fun to meet and visit with James Rollins, Tony Hillerman, Michael Crichton, and J.A. Jance.... I like their books--and it would be enlightening to hang out with them for a day to better understand where they get their ideas. Posted September 19, 2008 |
