Synopsis: Blue Echohawk doesn't know who she is. She doesn't know her real name or when she was born. Abandoned at two and raised by a drifter, she didn't attend school until she was ten years old. At nineteen, when most kids her age are attending college or moving on in life, she is just a senior in high school.

Tools & Tips ~ 10 Tips for Authors to Maximize Twitter

10 Tips for Authors to Maximize Twitter by Raine Thomas   When I decided to self-publish in 2011, I had no idea what I was doing. Where I should have gotten into social media and befriended other indie authors before I published, I didn’t even think of doing that.

I am a high-tech manager who has spent his career working with software companies helping them move from the garage stage startup to established growing companies. It takes both technical skills and people skills so it's a lot of left brain and right brain work. I tend to work for a few years then take a couple of years off. Currently I am writing full time, but am starting to do some contract programming to fill in the edges of my free time. Welcome...
