Farewell, For Now.

-
I made the above graphic weeks ago in anticipation for a major, exciting change for Ricochet Reviews. Unfortunately, it's all I have for announcement on an unfortunate event. Ricochet Reviews is leaving - temporarily.

There has been a serious emergency that has devastated my family, and the trials in life have been far too intense to continue the responsibilities of Ricochet Reviews and Simply Indie Productions. The grave close is, as of late, being consider temporary. I appreciate understanding and discretion at this time.

Some set up posts may not be posted, and several are scheduled, but please note I'm not posting until I announce otherwise, it is merely old posts (holiday announcement/tour-stops/reviews, etc.).

I sincerely apologize for the abruptness, as well as for any schedules that are affected by this. I will try to finish the reviews I have set up, but if they are not posted, please know that I do intend to reach them at a later date - even if I am unable to notify you.

At this time, I'm needed with my family, to support and find faith, and I simply cannot do that with the beloved but unrealistic burden of maintaining a blog, design company, and social media accounts.

I hope to hopefully "soon" return and re-launch this lovely book blog again, but not until this trial has past. Thank you for your understanding, prayers, and well-wishes for me and mine during this tribulation. Again, I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this poses. And with that, I offer all I have: a farewell for now.


With love,

In this new world of books made possible by the Internet, no one is left to guard the door. To tell the reader what is what. This state of affairs may introduce an element of confusion for dogmatic readers, but the good news is, new breeds of literature are being created. Self-publishing allows literature to cross over in new ways. Traditional Christian fiction publishers, for instance, disallow most references to sex, and even the most juvenile profanity. Self-publishing changes this. Not to suggest a writer should ever debase a genre—as writers we are obliged to choose our words carefully. But the old Christian book

Then read on to learn how you can win huge prizes as part of this blog tour, including $550 in Amazon gift cards, a Kindle Fire, and 5 autographed copies of the book. Marketing, Or How I Proved the Existence of Hell. Self-publishing requires either A) no skills and being totally deluded as to the reality of success in the book market, or B) no skills and the reality you’re going to have to learn a lot. And that’s a simple fact. Between writing, editing, formatting, choosing a printer, choosing retailers, web development, content generation, typesetting, book trailers and the fifty other things I’m forgetting, you’re certain to encounter a challenge for which you are in no way prepared, and not only are you not prepared, your desire to become prepared hovers somewhere near the axis of zero. I discovered mine on January 11, 2012--Marketing. Marketing’s an entirely deceptive term. W

The Strong Female: Guest Post by Sheryl Steins

The Strong Female I am always amazed to hear that, in the year 2012, women are still talking about strong female characters. It’s funny that we’re always surprised when one comes along. Even in Hollywood, actresses still can’t find roles to sink their teeth into. As a reader, I look for characters that I can relate to in some way; a character who is more than a damsel in distress but less than an unfeeling, mean, witch. I’m putting it gently, but I’m looking for someone, who when facing a problem, doesn’t necessarily need a man to bail her out--a woman who can take care of herself in spite of her vulnerabilities. Because in reality, women are multi-layered and complex. We don’t fall to one end of an extreme o
