The Bookstore is Open!
What's a website about how to write a novel without a bookstore?Oh, well I guess it's still useful, but more resources never hurt, right? So, without further ado, here's what's available to download free, purchase for download, or buy hard copies, (if available). Enjoy! And, as always, I love your comments about anything to do with the site and it's resources, so feel free to
contact me
and let me know what you think. Susie
Exciting February, 2012 Update!! Hi everyone! After a year in "hiding" while I healed from breast cancer (still healing, by the way), I have my first book about to come out. This will be the first in a series of humorous books I am writing, kind of like Jack Canfield does the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. The first title is How to Build Your Own House Without Killing Anyone in the Family, and it will be available soon in the Bookstore here, and elsewhere. I'd post cover art, but I haven't finished the design yet (with help from a friend). You can now follow me on Twitter @henderson_mtn, however, and you can see brief quotes from it in my Tweets. I'll also be posting excerpts on Facebook, and probably LinkedIn. Stay tuned, because we'll have a funny video trailer of it coming soon, too, with actual footage of us working on our house. That will go up on YouTube, at least, if not here and there otherwise. The book will be available in print, and ebook right away, with the possibility of an audio book down the road. So, tell all your friends! Get the title out there and known, Tweet about it, message on Facebook about it, email, snail mail... anything you want do to help me get it launched. Oh, and that reminds me, I'm going to try a book launch contest on Facebook, so keep an eye out for that, too.

Coming Soon!Building Believable Bad Guys Are you too good to be bad, even in your writing? Are your bad guys one-dimensional and not very convincing? You need Building Believable Bad Guys: Seven Steps To Successful Sinners. This book will likely be available in both print and download format, and possibly even on audio. Current publication date is near the end of 2010 or early 2011. Stay tuned! That's all for now, but there are two novels nearing publication, as well as two more non-fiction titles coming out soon. Check back at the Bookstore for more books frequently!
