Don’t Forget the Books

Posted on March 12, 2014March 12, 2014 by Loni Townsend

Guess what! I have amazing news. This is happening next week: I’ve mentioned my business partner before, the high-in-demand Christy Hovey. With her incredible skills, we are pulling off an author signing in a wine bar downtown. And the best part? I get to wear a fancy dress—outside of the house! *cough* Okay, so maybe…

Ah, whoops…

Posted on February 19, 2014October 12, 2016 by Loni Townsend

The cold medication has fogged my brain. I seem to have forgotten it’s Wednesday and that I was supposed to have something interesting for everyone to read. *blinks groggily at screen* With the combination of no sleep and a cold that has been plaguing my family for three weeks now, I really don’t have much…

Let Me See Your Face

Posted on February 12, 2014February 11, 2014 by Loni Townsend

Do you know someone who is bad with names but good with faces? Or maybe you’re one of those people? If the answer is “No” on both accounts, well, let me introduce myself. My name is Loni. I remember faces, not names. Google is amazing. They have connected so many different services, your profile (and…

Typography: The Ellipsis

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Loni Townsend

These three little dots confuse the heck out of me. I’m never sure when to follow the ellipsis with a period. If the thought is drifting off (not interrupted), and then switches in the next line, do I end it with a period? It was as if … Derek looked to the side. No, it…

Typography: Becoming a Better Writer

Posted on January 22, 2014January 21, 2014 by Loni Townsend

I’ll admit it. I judge based on looks. I was given a book around Christmas time. After a quick flip through, I winced. The book was blatantly self-published. Now, I’m not saying I’m a pro when it comes to book publishing—far from it. Everything I know, I’ve learned through self-study. But even to my untrained…

IWSG: The Bad Blogger

Posted on January 8, 2014February 4, 2014 by Loni Townsend

Visit the main page on Alex Cavanaugh’s Blog. The term Author Platform twists my gut into a tangle. I know what it is, and I know what I’m supposed to do. But executing things like engaging people online is darn right difficult. A lot of the times, I read status updates or blog posts and…

Farewell 2013

Posted on December 31, 2013December 31, 2013 by Loni Townsend

Is it really here? A new year? Geez. Where did 2013 go? Time rushes past—a blur of memories. I think something happened this past year. Oh yes, quite a lot. I might have fried some brain circuits trying to remember it all. The big things are easy. I had a kid. I published a book….

Posted on December 5, 2013December 5, 2013 by Loni Townsend

Today is a very special day. Today is Release Day. Thanmir War is live on Amazon. And the best part is, today, it’s free! You can find it on Goodreads. And Amazon has it available for purchase. It’s my deepest hope that you find the story enjoyable and entertaining that you’d want to tell your…

Welcome to my blog. I post here on the first Wednesday of the month. My topics include my stories and writing, life at the Town's End, creating and tinkering with graphics, things I learn and think might be helpful to others, and the occasional amateur photo. Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see you around.
