Newly Designed Mousepads from My Fellow Steampunk Writers and Readers

 Creating designs for merchandise is fun and can be a way for authors to make a little money as well. It can be a way to bring readers into your writing world as well. It is a way for them to support the writers. The great thing is you do not have to be perfect. The Print on Demand Companies will help you to ensure that the designs look good on each of the products you create. Check it out:

Romancing the Tropics - Author LJ Green contributed her A Widows Dilemma...

Here's is the First Coast Romance Writers group promo video for my short-story - A Widow's Dilemma in Cuba that is part of the Misadventures of Janie and Diane series. This one is set in the year 1904 with Janie and Diane going on vacation to Cuba after the Spanish/American War which had taken Diane's husband from her. 

The story is part of the FCRWs Anthology which are fundraisers for the group. They have exclusive rights to the story for 6 months to help build up their membership, pay for interesting speakers for the members, etc. Once the six months are over I can then publish the story under my own label. However, I have been encouraged to expand the story into a full novel!
