Mother nature is a bit on the grumpy side as of late and refuses to fling the doors open for spring, but there's good news, because today is Monday Mentionables: links worth mentioning for #writers & #readers.
First up is an article on how to record your own audio for your book. Now, you could pay the professional, which isn't a bad idea, but it's good to know your options.

This next link, you're going to want to bookmark. Before I was pointed to it, my Amazon keywords were very generic. I had, maybe, two handfuls listed and they were doing anything. So, jump on over to the KBoards and Evenstar's artciel about Amazon keywords. Believe me, it's fantastic and detailed.

I just discovered this link this morning. If you click on the graphic, it'll take you to the PDF version. You can download it and save it to your device of choice. It's the path to publishing and it looks at various ways you can be published, the value and the importance of each path.
