SplatCo Presents…

[Indies Unlimited is brought to you in part by the fine folks at SplatCo Pet Solutions]
Winter can be a real bummer for the golf enthusiast, but Rover never takes a day off.

Thanks to the folks at SplatCo, now you can keep your swing in good form and have some fun maintaining a clean yard. The SplatCo Pooper Putter is a neat new way to work on your chip shots and rid your lawn of pet waste.

Available in 9 iron, pitching wedge and sand wedge, the SplatCo Pooper Putter is fitted with a snap-on plastic splatter shield in case the weather isn’t quite as cold as you thought.

Remember, if you’re worried about what your neighbors might think, they’ve probably already ordered one. Shouldn’t you?

The Best Advice

Welcome to The Learning Curve. This is where I chronicle my adventures as a new writer. The goal is to inspire you to put that bag of chips down, step away from the television, and tell the world a good story.

The Best Advice

This month marks my one year anniversary at Indies Unlimited. I can only imagine that Stephen Hise was slightly intoxicated when he asked if I would consider writing a column for this site. After all, I am the least experienced writer on his staff, and there are nearly two dozen multi-talented people looking over my shoulder at the moment. (Seriously, you guys need to get back to work.)

One year into the adventure of writing a novel and there are a few things I would like to share with you. By you, I mean the struggling author in training. Continue reading “The Best Advice”

New Release: Angels Cried

Author Stephen L. Wilson is pleased to announce the release of Angels Cried, an anthology of short prose and poetry.

In the wake of the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, authors and artists joined together, so that their expressions of emotion could be put to good use. Forty authors and artists worked together to create the anthology ‘Angels Cried’. This inspiring collection is an anthology of a variety of works donated by people from around the world who wanted to take action to help the victims and families. The collection is a message to all that through tragedy people can be united, and good things can come as a result.

All proceeds from the sales of this book go to charity.

Angels Cried was published 12/25/2012. It’s available through Smashwords, Amazon.com, and Barnes and Noble.

Sneak Peek: Trucking in English

Today we have a sneak peek of author Carolyn Steele’s new travelogue: Trucking in English.

Almost Ice Road Truckers, except for the tulip bulbs…this is the tale of what happens when a middle-aged mum from England decides to actually drive 18-wheelers across North America instead of just dreaming about it. From early training (when it becomes apparent that negotiating 18 wheels and 13 gears involves slightly more than just learning how to climb in) this rookie overcomes self-doubt, infuriating companions and inconsiderate weather to become a real trucker. Nothing goes well, but that’s why there’s a book.

Trucking in English is available through Amazon.com, Amazon UK, and Smashwords. 

Here is an excerpt from Trucking in English… Continue reading “Sneak Peek: Trucking in English”
