Writing is Easy, the collaborative effort of the four Rogues, is now available. In massive celebration, the Rogues Gallery Writers are throwing a book/bunko bash. This event will combine books art and fun with great food and excellent interaction.
Mark Saturday, October 2, 2010 on your calendar. Barbara Jean's restaurant in the European Village is the location. The party will run from 11:00am to 3:00pm. Here's some of what will be happening:
Bunko. Anyone who has not played this crazy, mindless game will be thrilled to learn that there are no strategies, no high-brow thought processes nor dexterity involved. As long as you can roll dice and scream at them, you'll be fine. For those who've played, well, we understand your addiction...
Raffle. Rogue Tracy will raffle off a $400 painting at the end of the party. Her artwork graces the covers of Writing is Easy and Loves Lost and Found as well as having loads of interior paintings in the book Loves Lost and Found.
Door prizes and readings. During the course of the bunko game, breaks are scheduled at specific times. During these breaks, a Rogue will read an excerpt from Writing is Easy and then a door prize will be handed out to a lucky winner. For you die-hard bunko-ers, this intrusion will be brief and you will be able to soon return to your regularly scheduled game addiction.
Food. Barbara Jean's will offer a buffet to anyone wishing to eat during the festivities. This will allow bunko players to graze at their leisure as well as the authors who no doubt will want to stuff their faces between autographs.
Books. The Rogues Gallery Writers are busy little writers. They have five books between them and all will be on display (and for sale) to the right when you walk into Barbara Jean's. The authors will make themselves available to sign autographs or hang out the whole time. Yes, we won't be able to play bunko, but I bet we can sneak away and sub for someone for a few tantalizing rolls of the dice!
Book prizes. The Rogues will give away books as the bunko prizes for Most Wins (Writing is Easy), Travels (Flight From Fear), and Bunkos (Loves Lost and Found). These books will be autographed not only by one Rogue, but ALL the Rogues!
This will be a gala event, loads of fun, books, prizes, raffles, food and great people. Evites will be sent out soon. Please sign up as we are targeting 100 guests and need to know how many will be attending so that Barbara Jean's can prepare the requisite amount of food.
And buy a book! The Rogues will be thrilled to autograph it for you!

The Rogues They Are A Rollin'
Crunch time. The Rogues Gallery Writers have seen this day coming for years. Now, the day soon becomes reality. With the release of Writing is Easy Rebekah, Tracy, Jeff and Mike have a lot of things to handle.
One of the largest is the book release party. The plan to have a Book Bunko Bash party now moves to the fore. October 2, 2010, one day after the official release of the book, the Rogues will gather at Barbara Jean's in the European Village in Palm Coast for their big kickoff shindig. There will be buffet style food, a raucous bunko game with prizes as well as the four authors selling and signing books.
Invitations will be sent out through online media. Only the first 100 will be able to get in, so a list will be kept on a first come, first served basis.
The Rogues are also scheduling speaking engagements. Once they get the first couple under their belt, they will soon be touring schools and organizations with their knowledge of writing and publishing as well as their humor.
Ok, writing all this in third person is really beginning to irritate me. We do plan to get out to schools with the intention of inspiring young writers to get diligent about their dreams and aspirations.
We are motivated. We are great writers. We have spunk. We have moxie. We will be heard and we will leave our mark. My sincere hope is that we have a positive effect and that we encourage and inspire those who need such intangibles. We know there are many who need this as we ourselves have simply needed someone to believe in us and inspire us as well.
The Rogues Gallery Writers - on a mission to inspire writers. We're rollin'!

Blog Days
Fellow writers! Come one! Come all! There is no reason to fear this blog thing!
Blogging is essential to furthering your writing career. Swallow that. Digest it. Do not fear it. Blogging is the simplest of writing. This makes it some of the most fun writing you will do. Grammar is not required, although I'm sure you don't need to be putting out total crap.
Blogging is supposed to be a 'web log' or diary of sorts. A blog should bring people up to date on what is going on in your writing life and where you are going. You could even throw in a current event piece if there is something on your mind out there in the 'real' world.
Blogging must be consistent. This is the one that intimidates would-be bloggers. "I don't have time" is the common cry. Hogwash! You should post a blog at least once a week. I post every Monday on three different blogs and one blog no one knows about I often post to more than three times a week.
For the three I post to every Monday, I set aside one day at the beginning of the month and I write four pieces for each blog. That is a total of 12 blogs containing 200-500 words each. Basically I write around 2500 - 6000 words that day. Not too tough. This takes me about two to five hours. I then "schedule a blog to post on each Monday of that month. My blogging is then complete!
I do have that other blog I post to whenever I get the urge. Also, if something pops up that I wish to add to my Fatherhood blog, I can write it and post it immediately. In this manner, people coming to my blogs have fresh content each and every week. Look at this blog. There are consistent posts from me. There are also posts from my fellow Rogues, but that is a message for another day. They post to this blog as well and the ability for them to do that is set up very easily.
Use blogs to promote your writing. You need to get out there and get exposure. Blogs are free, simple to set up and even easier to manage. Do not cop out with the 'no time' excuse. Set up a blog day and jump to it!
