Aggie Villeneuva Highlights Authors and Help for Authors

Aggie Villanueva, often called the Grandma Moses of the American Southwest by her peers, has published a new e-book, 2009's Hot Authors: Interviews by Aggie Villanueva. Aggie interviewed me this fall and that interview is included in the book in addition to my article on writing better dialogue. It includes other articles by other authors, too, including one on the dreaded comma dilemma.

In her note to me, Maggie says, "if you know someone who'd like to win a copy this week they may enter to do so at http://www.visualartsjunction.com/?p=4343"

Well, I can't think of any of my writing friends who wouldn't benefit from a "won copy." And because this Christmas I am making a greater effort than ever to encourage
writers to buy books as Christmas presents, you should know it may be purchased in paperback at
http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/2009s-hot-authors-interviews-by-aggie-villanueva/8056207 and for e-book readers
in over ten formats at http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/7043.

Aggie also invites everyone to participate in a virtual photo shoot at: http://www.aggiev.org/aggielogic/join_me_virtual_shoots.html

Aggie's motto is one she borrows from Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year." She is tweeting @myaggie2
