It’s hard to believe that this is the end of May, the third month since I started the Lulu Book Review site. The support of this site and the number of visitors to it has been overwhelming, reaching over 4,000 on the counter so far. Thanks to all the loyal readers, and to the wonderful [...]

157 Pages
$12.95 Paperback

With my recent issues concerning the creation of the book cover for my own next book, it seemed only fitting that Todd Fonseca’s The Time Cavern would be my next book review. Todd used 3D software and Photoshop to create his cover, and I must [...]

Today’s post is in response to blog reader Todd Fonseca, who asked about my thoughts on the Borders/Lulu relationship. For those who may not know about this, please visit the website, Borders Personal Publishing. The Podpeep review site also touched on it briefly, and I have to say I agree with their viewpoint. [...]

Check out the POD Diary tab today for a lengthy post about the arrival of what I’m calling my Advanced Readers Copy. For those new here or who haven’t checked out the tab already, it’s a diary of my own recent publishing adventure with Lulu, which I hope will be helpful to some.
Today’s post also [...]

This month I’m starting a new blog segment to fill some of the time between reviews. It’s called IN-NEWS and will focus mainly on the independent book industry. I wish we had more independent bookstores here in St. Louis, but we don’t. The largest and most popular, and the only one that [...]

Footsteps in the Darkness

Due to the lack of interest in the Success Stories feature I had created last month, and at an attempt to keep things fresh and interesting here at the LLBR site, I have replaced that tab with something I’m calling the POD Diary.
Last year, I completed my second novel which I am currently working on [...]

By now, most of us involved in the POD industry as authors have probably heard of Jeremy Robinson and his success story with self-publishing his first book on LuLu. Jeremy used his experience and success to also write a POD help book for other authors. It’s called POD People. Well, I used part [...]
