Daniel Chamberlain "Battle Of Fortune Wells." 

In 1877, a group of Comanche fighters left the reservations with the aim of clearing the land of any white settlers they found whether man, woman or child. Caught in the middle of this Comanche war is a Deputy U.S. Marshal, Tomas Killain who witnesses first hand the brutality being meted out against those who dare to make homes on the land that once belonged to the free-roaming Comanche.

G.B. Miller "Line 21." 

Flat broke with no job, Jeannie was terrified of becoming just like one of her uncle’s deadbeat customers. Even though she was able to smooth-talk her way into a five-day extension of her loan, she was still stuck in the same dead-end with the same problem: no money.

Social Media 101

Facebook & Twitter

In previous 101 topics I covered #Hashtags  & .@ 

Today it is linking your Facebook Author/Business Page to Twitter.

“Wait, Dave, I’m not a technical person.”

Then I’m glad you stopped in. My “101” is for you. When all is said and done you will smile and say, “that was easy.”

I have a day job, this blog, my book edits, and two other books in the infant stage. Marketing, branding, read articles, write articles, check on your followers blogs & tweets. Sound familiar?
Well this little shared piece of information can make two tasks one.

Are You Applying Blog Marketing Tips to Your eBook Sales Page?

 

“eBook sales page?”

 

Exactly, this week I have been researching and working on a Social Media & Brand Building eBook. I read in-between my day job, writing, blogging, texting, tweeting, pinterest and editing so please forgive, this is a paraphrase. In that research, I came across a thought provoking question.

Developing Your Brand

Blogging, Tweeting, the Social Media Blitzkrieg.

Keeping up with writing, Blogging, Tweeting and all the other daily tasks require efficiency and targeted efforts. All are well aware of the “follow” button. Some buy followers others simply post & post and slowly gather followers. (The latter is the team SlantedK is on.)

Be True to Yourself.

By DMK A SlantedK Production

This weekend I watched Smokey & the Bandit 1&2. Did you know there are zero CGI effects in either of those movies?  

When they did the jump with that Black Trans Am it actually flew. When Sheriff Buford T Justice chased the Bandit through the roller coaster, they destroyed the actual ride.

Don't  Dream Too Big

By Rita Emmett Regular Guest @ SlantedK

DMK gives this two thumbs up!

DON'T DREAM TOO BIG. That's what I heard from EVERYONE (including people who loved me) when I was writing my first book, The Procrastinator's Handbook.

I didn't personally know anyone who was published and didn't have any connections, but I dreamed of selling tons of books all over the world.
