February 24, 2023 By Julie Lomoe 9 Comments

I’ve made a New Year’s resolution for 2023: this is the year I focus on building my brand, getting my writing and art out to a wider audience and turning a profit, in hopes of making what remains of my golden years a little more golden. But how do I go about it? That’s the… [Read More]

May 17, 2009 By Julie Lomoe Leave a Comment

 How do librarians decide which books to buy? How much can authors influence their decisions? My local Sisters in Crime chapter learned the answers to these questions and more at yesterday’s meeting with Eileen Williams, reference and outreach librarian for the Guilderland Public Library. I confess I’ve tended to take libraries for granted, and what goes on behind the scenes… [Read More]
