Bob @ Beauty in Ruins
PLEASE NOTE: I'm rarely active here anymore, but please feel free to follow me on Goodreads, where I post regularly.
These are the chronicles of a book addict, a photo junkie, and an aspiring author, rewriting the very fabric of reality one page (and one snapshot) at a time. From the strange to the unusual; the abandoned to the abnormal; the haunted to the historic; the supernatural to the surreal; the forests of dark fantasy, the cemeteries of gothic horror, and the post-apocalyptic ruins of science fiction are the landscapes of my imagination.

You Don’t Want to Read This Book by Lesley Conner (GUEST POST)
You want to tell everyone when your first novel is published. Shove a shiny new copy in the hands of every person who happens to pass by you and declare, “I wrote this! This is my book!” It’s exciting and an incredibly big deal. For most writers I know – myself included – when you first start putting words to paper you have no idea whether or not it will ever see the light of publication. I would say for most new writers, when we begin our first novel, we’re certain that it will not be published. I mean, think of the odds. Do you know how many people out there have written, are currently writing, or have started to write a novel? Tons! So you finish your novel (that’s the first hurdle), then talk yourself into submitting it (second hurdle), AND a publisher accepts it… Yeah, that’s special and it’s normal to want to share it with everyone.
