Dear pal Margie Yee Webb (a panelist) had her friendly camera; she asked Shelley Buck to take photos of the panel. Writers helping writers; friends helping friends.

Elise Frances Miller, author of A Time to Cast Away Stones, tells why Kindle giveaway never happened

Explaining our failed “Kindle giveaway” – Predatory practices? You be the judge!

“First, the website Kindleboards.com is in no way connected with Amazon, even though they use the name ‘Kindle.’”

Elise adds: “If you want the bloody details, read this clear and damning article by Smashwords.”

author Elise Frances Miller at Literary Arts stage, San Mateo County Fair

Elise Frances Miller’s novel, A Time to Cast Away Stones, published by Sand Hill Review Press, is set in Berkeley and Paris in 1968. Her blog focuses on comparing the Paris May Revolution of 1968 with the Occupy Movement today.

Cheering for Elise and all writers!

Sincerely,

Coach Teresa
