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…

Featured Photo Friday

Posted on January 17, 2014January 31, 2014 by Loni Townsend

I titled today’s selection Romance Writer. I have a slight obsession with notebooks, particularly leather bound ones. I received a new one, plus the awesome metal feather pen (it came with it’s own ink well *cheer*), from my sis-in-law for Christmas. The rose was courtesy of my super sweet husband. What do you think? Any…

Typograwhat?

Posted on January 15, 2014June 19, 2014 by Loni Townsend

If you’ve followed me for some time, you’ve probably seen me mention The Book Designer. Halfway through each month, Joel has a post about e-Book cover designs. I’m always looking for ways to improve, so I submitted Thanmir War for December’s collection. Joel will make comments just below each cover if he has them, and…

Featured Photo Friday

Posted on January 10, 2014January 31, 2014 by Loni Townsend

Among my goals for 2014 are blogging more often and improving my photography. Since I’ve read it’s best to keep topics light for the end of the week, I’ve decided to undertake Featured Photo Fridays! These will be images from my life (probably tweaked a bit with filters) that I’m particularly proud of. I kick…

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….

Cover Reveal: Cutlass

Posted on December 18, 2013January 19, 2018 by Loni Townsend

A pirate walks into a bar with a paper towel on his head. The bartender says, “What’s with the paper towel?” The pirate says, “Arrr! I’ve got a Bounty on me head!” Ah pirates. How can you not love them? And speaking of loving pirates… Have you heard of this book by Ashley Nixon? I…

Whirlwind

Posted on December 11, 2013 by Loni Townsend

It’s been a whirlwind of 12 weeks that started with the birth of my son. Since then, I’ve faced an epidural headache, jaundice, cold & flu, a jealous 3-year-old, a speeding ticket, the birth of a niece, the death of a grandfather, meeting new friends, creating a business, costume making, scraping by on NaNo, and…

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.
