1. NEWS FROM THE FLOATING HOME OFFICE
Greetings fellow authors and friends!
We are all geared up for hurricane season here in the floating home office! We are fully insured, have a satellite office in downtown St. Petersburg (on the 2nd floor!), and our servers are safely located in Virginia (a primary one, along with a back-up in a completely different location!). We also keep back-ups of all our laptops on dry land. So, you never need to worry about us disappearing if we get a really, really big blow. We survived Hurricane Irma last year without a scratch (though our nerves were pretty rattled!).
It’s the rainy season here on the west coast of Florida. The picture featured above this newsletter was taken an hour ago. No Tan Lines is rocking all over the place in this big blow and we’re having a blast! 🙂

5. PUBLISHERS ARE BITING THE DUST LEFT AND RIGHT BUT BOOKLOCKER IS STILL GOING STRONG! HERE’S WHY!
Our competitors are going belly-up one after another but rest assured that BookLocker is still going strong! We have tight belts and we pass our savings on to our authors. Did you know that BookLocker is debt-free? Yes, we are! Not many of our competitors can say the same! On a personal note, we live a minimalist lifestyle. In a nutshell, that means we don’t buy a bunch of “stuff” that we don’t really need…things that would ultimately end up in drawers and closets. And, we can’t because our floating home has very few drawers, and teensy tiny closets!
Unfortunately, many of our defunct competitors had big investors, got too big for their britches, and then had overhead expenses they couldn’t afford when competition increased. (We refused all investment offers over the years because we didn’t want big-wig suits telling us how to run OUR business!)
You can read about 23 publishers that went belly-up, and why, RIGHT HERE.
