Shameless Self-Promotion . . . or . . . You really do learn something new every day.

I know that writers today are expected to self-promote – shamelessly. I know this, and I have been developing a web presence for that purpose.
That said, I didn’t think I could really talk about my books online, since they are unpublished and unrepresented, and I do want to make a living as a writer with these novels. However, I discovered that since you can copyright your books even if they are unpublished, and claim them as your own intellectual property, it is okay to promote them in a web format like this blog! So, for those of you who are interested in what I have written and am writing, I have added pages to this blog – pages with synopses and working book covers of two of my books: The Kingdoms of Blood and Magic (which is in-progress) and The Time Minders (which is a completed work). (Thank you royalty-free clipart!)
Please forgive me for the scary-sounding legalese after each synopsis; but I do want to protect myself and my intellectual property. I’m sure you all understand. (I’m hoping, anyway.)
For any of you agents and/or publishers who are visiting my blog, I hope they intrigue you and that you want to see and invest in my completed manuscripts!
For my potential readers, I thank you for your interest and support. You won’t be disappointed, I assure you!

Way to go, Rebecca! I’ll be reading and keeping my fingers crossed for you. Good luck on all four of those contests, too!
Thanks, lady. I’ve been working on the layout of my site here a bit – based on your helpful comments and some of what I’ve been looking at.
