Popular Answered Questions

Sam, I just started reading your book "Go Stand Upon the Rock" as the result of comments from the local chapter of the SUVCW of which we both belong. I have a very silly question about "dates". On the inside cover page it indicates "Copyright 2012" At the end of the "Epilogue" on page 280 it indicates "Thanksgiving 2013" and the back page says "Made on 23 Feb 2015." How does one reconcile the first 2 dates?

I copyrighted the original manuscript in 2012, because I wanted to protect my work as soon as the first draft was done. However, I spent another 12 - 18 months editing and refining it to get it ready for publishing, and I completed that part of the process on Thanksgiving 2013. After taking a break for the holidays, it took me a couple of more months to complete the process of reducing the original text format from 8 &1/2 x 11" down to the publishing format of 6 x 9". The "Made on 23 Feb 2015" date is the date that particular copy happened to be printed. The book is printed on demand, which is more efficient and economical instead of having a large print run, and then hope that they all sell. My goal for 2015 is to convert the print format to a Kindle version of the book. I also want to do an audio version as well. But I hope that answers your questions, brother. (less)

But part of writing involves research -- especially if you're writing about something complex, technical, or historical. If you really don't know much about your topic, don't try to bluff your readers. You don't have to become an expert, but do some homework first, so you can write intelligently about the topic.

Go Stand Upon the Rock (2014)

What is my book about?

Go Stand Upon the Rock (2014) is a deeply moving fact-based, historical novel inspired by stories handed down to me by my grandmother about how her grandparents escaped from slavery during the Civil War. The novel weaves together several plot lines to form a tapestry of compelling events in the lives of real people during one of the most dynamic and dangerous periods in Ameri Read more of this blog post »
