Creativity Exercise -- You'll Love This

July 4, 2010

So if you're looking at a blank screen and need a little inspiration, here's a fun creativity exercise to get that brain a-working...and kill a little more time!

Client book release
March 18, 2010

​

Ghostwriting client Joe Abb Overby just released his second book, Acres Aweigh! It's a fascinating story of Joe's time stationed at Naval Station Mayport in the late 1950s-early 1960s, and his friendship with Mrs. Elizabeth P. Stark, a fascinating woman who used to own the property where the base now sits. You can order the book through our retail subsidiary, OldMaidCatLady.com, or buy it directly from Joe himself.

The Ladder series is available again!
March 5, 2010

​

After the retail site through which we used to sell this e-book series folded, we were left with few choices on where to make them available. But now that we have our own retail site, they're available again through there! Special pages were added for "Life Beyond the Kitties" in which old maid cat ladies could fulfill their needs in the areas of business, social/entertainment, and personal care. All eight rungs already released, plus two packages of them, are available on the site.

Retail subsidiary is live!
February 1, 2010

​

It may not look like much yet, but TW&E's retail subsidiary, OldMaidCatLady.com, is now live! We've spent the past couple of months working on it non-stop, and will be adding many more wonderful products for cats and their people to the site in the coming months. If you've been frustrated by the lack of products for your cats when all the pet supply stores seem to stock is dog products, this site is for you! The vision is for it to be a sort of online high-end department store for both cats and cat lovers. Check it often to see what new stuff we've added!
