Tough Talk with Tony Gambone with Specail Guest Alexandra Powe Allred graduated from Texas A&M University with a B.A. in History, saying, "As everyone knows, once you get a degree in history, all you can really do is teach or write. I'm just doing what I can!" As the daughter of a (now retired) U.S. Diplomat, Allred traveled all over the United States and around the world. Her writing career began before graduation with several pieces on bi-lingual education with national education publications. But the real stories began while living as a youth in Moscow, Russia.

While living in the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, NY, she was able to talk to Olympic and National athletes from all disciplines and share with sports enthusiasts.                     www.alexandrapoweallred.com Jack Duffy a trial lawyer from

Workshop Wednesdays with Tony Gambone and Linda Ballesteros Jason Matthews are you happy to be an Indie author? I am–it’s a thrilling time for writers. The internet has changed publishing for the better in my opinion, empowering each of us to share ideas with readers all over the world. Not long ago there was a real stigma associated with self-publishing but times are changing quickly. Indie authors have more control over projects and get to keep the bulk of their sales. No wonder so many of us are either self-publishing or exiting from traditional contracts. It isn’t easy though, but that has created a coveted asset within this community: the supportive network of people ready and able to help each other. I love meeting writers and helping share their stories. http://ebooksuccess4free.wordpress.com  Lauren Midgley is passionate on the topic of growing a business.
