Guest Post: YouTubiness by Jonas Lee

A little something I wrote for my friend Kate during her time away.

YouTube… just let that site register for a moment.

cameraNow, what do you look at on there? Most of the time, for me, I watch a variety of three genres: gamer videos, dub-step dancing and movie trailers. There is an entire world of information, entertainment, nonsense and animal videos. Where does an author / book lover rate in that grand scale of things? Heard about Pluto lately? It’s rather lonely for an author out there right now. Can it change? I hope so. The next generation of authors are going to be more social media cognizant and try to reach as many platforms as they can.

Fourteen Daughters

Since January, I have had fourteen daughters and a couple of brothers. Seems outrageous, but being a coach on a softball team, there is a sense of family. For months I got to witness, coach, laugh and get frustrated by a whole baker's dozen of teenage girls. Granted, one is my own and I feel … Continue reading Fourteen Daughters

Pemberton Academy is not just a school, it’s a gathering place for the children of the future that are afflicted with Temporal Displacement and Telepathy; in short, time travelers and mind readers who have been diagnosed with this “disease.” The Academy is not all as it seems after an explosion nearly takes one of its classmates, but not before Carter Gabel rescues her by using an unknown symptom related to his described illness.

Bring on the Popualrity

Writing stories and entertaining others is my number favorite thing to do. I do it for fans and the art of constructing words into mental imagery for people who want to escape a life of commuting, responsibilities and reality altogether. Popularity is always a back burner hope for all authors, I think. Speaking for myself, … Continue reading Bring on the Popualrity
