Grammar for Grownups: Parts of Speech
Chapter 1: Parts of Speech Let’s begin at the beginning, and that means with the foundation of our language: the words. There are thousands of words in any language. Classifying the words into a category based upon what the word does in language makes it easier to understand and learn a language. These categories are [...]
Study Supports My eReader Opinion
In several posts, I’ve stated that I think owning a Kindle or a similar device means you can read more. I tuck my Kindle into my purse whenever I leave home. If I’m stuck standing in line somewhere, I have many interesting books and subscription periodicals, blogs and newsletters I can read. Survey Says Now, [...]
Grammar For Grownups
Introduction My children and their peers are college graduates. They’re all intelligent, educated people yet I find myself, with my kids at least, correcting their speech occasionally. Sometimes they’ll have to write some important memo or letter at work, and they’ll run it by me first because I am the family editor. Many times I’ve [...]
New Online Publisher That’s Free
ePubBud is different from most publishing websites that cater to those who want to self publish because the website doesn’t plan to make money. Wren’s Legacy Inspired by the birth of their son Wren on March 9, 2010, the founders of ePubBud decided that it would be great to make a children’s book about Wren’s [...]
Piano Lessons For Kids? You Bet!
Show me an adult who always wanted to play the piano, and I’ll show you a parent who’ll do anything to give his or her kid piano lessons. I remember playing scales on the living room piano when I was a child. My dad was musically talented and my mom thought piano lessons for children [...]
A Classic Romantic Comedy Based on a Classic Play
This afternoon I’m hosting a blog post about one of my favorite romantic comedies 10 Things I Hate About You starring Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. This delightful comedy is a contemporary retelling of Shakespeare‘s Taming of the Shrew as the author will tell you. Thanks for the post from Rashad Townsend. Last night, I [...]
Review: Lord of Always
Recently, Cynthia Wicklund visited Joan Slings Words and discussed her writing and her newly published novel Lord of Always, published by Cerridwen Press. I devoured her novel immediately, but I’m just now getting around to writing a review of this noteworthy historical romance with a paranormal twist. I rate it Keeper. Lord of Always by [...]
Review: Netflix For Wii
We chose not to have TV service at our home in the Hill Country. I mean, who needs another hundred buck a month bill? Without it, we actually spend more time in conversation, reading, listening to music, and playing family games in the evening. However, there are times when you just want to crash into [...]
The Summer of Myron Bolitar
My daughter and are crushing on Myron Bolitar and his buddy Windsor Horne Lockwood III, better known as Win. There’s only one problem: Myron and Win are fictional creations from the brain of Harlan Coben. Actually, I guess that’s a good thing since I’m happily married. Like any crush, this goes back to a love [...]
Downstream Effect of Kindle Editions
I accidentally proved a theory that Kindle authors espouse: offering a book free on Kindle actually sells other books. I’d heard this and have read much anecdotal evidence of this, but I proved it to myself this past week. The Fever Series This accidental experiment started when I downloaded, for free, Karen Marie Moning‘s Darkfever, [...]
