Terri Bischoff This week - a guest post by Jess Lourey and Shannon Baker: “I don’t really like talking about money. All I can say is that the Good Lord must have really wanted me to have it.” –Larry Bird That’s two more things Larry Bird and I don’t have in common. I love talking about money...

What to do, what to do?

Thanks Brenda!
Free stuff ramblings
Terri Bischoff Free stuff. Everyone wants free stuff, right? Or at least discounted stuff. We want the best deal we can get, we shop around and we clip coupons. I admit that I check groupon quite often to see what deals they have going on. But sometimes I wonder what that mentality is doing to u...
Absolutely. It's all about building readership. One of the things that prompted this post was an author telling me how many requests she gets for free books. It's a tough position to be in - author says yes and ends up giving away a bunch of books and doesn't record any sales for it or author says no and angers a potential reader. My opinion on that quandary is the same I have about illegal ebooks - that person was never going to buy it in the first place, so it isn't a lost sale.

I appreciate those who don't miss their due date! When that happens it can throw off the whole process.
Having a job you love is a gift. I am so thankful for it. And I am so thankful for my authors. :)
