How to Write a Great Query Letter

Release Date: 2007-12-21

Sales rank: 2946

I have written this book, and made it free, as a way of giving back to the writing community. I have already heard back from many writers that, as a result of reading it and applying its principles, they have found representation and launched their careers. Nothing could make me happier. I hope that you will put it to use, and find much success with your career.
Faces

Release Date: 2006-06-16

Sales rank: 40739

We have no photographs from the Revolutionary War, nothing to give us the look of those who served in what they called The Glorious Cause. With no photographs to take us there, and only paintings that make it look like a costume pageant, the Revolutionary War has seemed less real, less human, infinitely more remote than ever it should be. For real it was, and human they were, those who marched with Washington. The whole story was wonderfully, painfully human. Faces are important to me in trying to understand and write about the people of other days. I need to know what they looked like. It's a point some may not care about especially, but I do.
And Then There Were Four

Release Date: 2007-05-29

Sales rank: 15020

This epilogue came about because, when my fabulous editor finished telling me how fun and sexy she thought FAIRYVILLE was, she added: “I was seriously tempted to ask you for that foursome you hinted was coming at the end, but the characters do need some rest ?.” Needless to say, most authors respond well to praise, and I decided my fictional peeps could rally their strength after all. I hope you enjoy watching Zoe, Magnus, Bryan, and Alex find their personal slice of heaven in a snowy cabin in the Rocky Mountains …
The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot

Release Date: 2007-11-09

Sales rank: 20273

In my travels across the country, I have heard from citizens of all backgrounds who feel alienated from the Founders' idea that they are the ones who must lead; they are the ones who must decide and confront and draw a line. They are the ones who matter. This book is written for them. Such citizens need the keys to, the understanding of, the Founders' radical legacy. They need to understand how despots have gone about their work. They need a primer so they and those around them can be well-equipped for the fight that lies ahead.
Make Anyone Loyal

Release Date: 2006-11-08

Sales rank: 124740

I wrote this book because loyalty, while integral to our personal and professional lives, is so often misunderstood. What is it that makes someone stick by you, even in the darkest hour, while others run for the hills at the slightest hint that something has gone wrong? Research shows that an unwavering sense of loyalty can, in fact, be instilled in anyone by applying a basic psychological strategy. Whether it's a friend, employee, or spouse, you can make anyone more loyal to you, your company, or your cause, faster and more easily than you ever thought possible. Of course you know the traditional, sound advice, such as using rewards, praising, showing gratitude and appreciation, and the like. These are practical and effective ideas, but I wanted to give people the tools to bring to an entirely new level their ability to create iron-clad loyalty very quickly. This book contains specific, carefully formulated psychological tactics that can be applied to any situation, with any person. These are not just ideas or theories or tricks that work only sometimes and only on some people. This book offers readers the opportunity to use the most important psychological tools governing human behavior, not just to level the playing field but to create an automatic advantage.
A Dish Served Cold

Release Date: 2006-05-12

Sales rank: 96415

I love nothing better than surprising the readers of my short stories with a big twist in the end. They think the story is going in one direction and, bang, it ends up some place else. This is true of “A Dish Served Cold,” a crime short story set in Arizona. If any readers can guess the ending, I'd love to hear from them (through my website)!
Bubble After Bubble in The Ongoing Bubble Boom: Oil Bursts, the Housing Bubble Fades and Now Stocks Emerge Into a Greater Bubble that Finally Ends in 2010

Release Date: 2005-06-21

Sales rank: 164474

In my recent book, The Next Great Bubble Boom, I explain the crash of 2000 - 2002 as a natural part of an 80-year demographic-driven technology cycle with one more technology lead bubble ahead from late 2005 into 2010. This piece updates that book and shows investors how this boom since 1975 has seen a series of bubbles in different sectors. I look at the present oil and housing bubbles and why those are about to peak and interest rates are about to bottom. The next bubble will see the stock market roaring again. But that will be the last major bubble in this bubble boom that will finally end around 2010.

A Dash Of Style Paragraph and Section Breaks

Release Date: 2007-12-15

Sales rank: 295078

This is a pivotal chapter from my forthcoming book, A Dash of Style: The Art and Mastery of Punctuation. In the book, I aim to discuss punctuation in the broadest sense: how has punctuation been used (or not used) by the great literary masters, and how can it make you a better writer? Punctuation reveals the writer. And punctuation never lies. This chapter is emblematic of the book in that it offers a close look at the paragraph and section breaks, two punctuation marks which are normally not thought of as punctuation marks—and yet they are two marks which, in the right hands, can enhance your work tremendously.

Straight Talk from the Editor, 18 Keys to a Rejection-Proof Submission

Release Date: 2006-11-10

Sales rank: 14129

It's rare for a writer to receive a reason for rejection. Often my rejection letter simply states, “We considered it and it's not right for us.” As a book acquisitions editor, I tell you six keys why book ideas are rejected, six keys to guarantee rejection then six keys to guarantee an editor's attention. Whether you use one or two or all six of these keys, I know it will make your pitch distinct from anything else under consideration. It could make the difference between getting a book contract or another rejection letter.
