The Website of Author
JOAN REEVES

There's something new - articles about the Art, Craft, and/or Business of Writing along with powerful quotations in Written Wisdom - on every page of the website. Hope you find the articles educational, entertaining, and inspiring. If so, let others know. Pass it on.

If you haven't subscribed to my newsletter Wordplay, why don't you do that? Each month, you'll receive the newsletter in your Email, and it details the changes to the website and also has articles that appear only in the newsletter for Readers and Writers.

As always, The Archives contain previously featured articles from the website. Each year has a list of the articles. Click a title, and you'll be swiftly taken to it.

My goal is to always offer written content that interests everyone so feel free to visit each page and explore.

It's so HOT! True, it's August. In Texas, August means heat and humidity. Perhaps I'm just staying in air conditioning too much because the heat is bothering me this year.

Frankly, indoor activities are a lot more pleasant this month than outdoors where mid-nineties temperatures broil anyone foolish enough or unfortunate enough to be outside. Everyone is waiting for school to start this month. Is that a collective sigh of relief I hear from tired mommies everywhere?

The website is updated and ready for your visit. You'll see a new look, courtesy of the Authors Guild's new web design templates. Hope you like this style. If you subscribe to the website newsletter, Wordplay, it will alert you in detail to the snazzy new "stuff." If you don't subscribe, and you really should, just click on each page and explore. Every page has new material.

I want to call your attention to the link list on the right side of each page. Each month you'll see one of these fabulous authors interviewed in Reading. I hope you'll read the interview and visit the author's blog or website.

My hope is you'll enjoy meeting a new author each month. Chances are you may never have heard of the author. The writing world is full of immensely talented writers yet only a very small percentage of working writers become household names.

I guarantee you that these authors have books worth purchasing - and worth getting your local library to stock. So embrace the opportunity to explore and discover new talent. Then tell a friend about your find.

Daniel Arenson is the featured author for August.

The theme for Written Wisdom this month is Summer. How very appropriate, n'est–ce pas?

Chapter 8 of my romantic comedy MOONLIGHT ON SNOW: A LOVE STORY has been posted by the publisher for August. I hope you've been enjoying this serial romance on Romantic4Ever.com, a site dedicated to advancing romance. If so, let the website know.

Please, make yourself at home and visit often. Like we say in the South, y'all come back real soon! Until next month, if you want more "Joan," be sure and read my blog Sling Words.
