Poland and Denmark to Build Baltic Gas Pipeline
Poland's gas grid operator Gaz-System and its Danish counterpart have given the final go-ahead to invest in building a gas pipeline linking Poland with Norway's deposits via the Baltic Sea and Denmark, Gaz-System said on Friday.
The 900-kilometres (560-mile) pipeline, known as the Baltic Pipe, is a Polish project designed to reduce its reliance on Russian gas. The Baltic Pipe is expected to be ready in 2022 when Poland's long-term deal with Russia's Gazprom expires.

A federal judge has ruled that a former clandestine case officer for the Central Intelligence Agency will have to forfeit any future money he earns from a book he wrote about the C.I.A. that was published without the agency's permission. The C.I.A. says the former employee, writing under the pseudonym Ishmael Jones, submitted the book to the agency's publications review board as required but published the book, "The Human Factor: Inside the CIA's Dysfunctional Intelligence Culture," before the review was done. After the ruling Thursday by Judge Gerald Bruce Lee of Federal District Court in Alexandria, Va., Mr. Jones, who has not disclosed his real identity, said he put the profits in accounts belonging to children of American soldiers killed in action.Continue reading the main story

Intro WordPress Membership Plugin Custom Fields
Amazing membership platforms have to be easy enough to use when membership websites are launched, but will need to provide the space for these websites to grow as they become successful. Inside this MemberMouse Overview, we'll discuss the pros and cons of utilizing MemberMouse for WordPress membership websites, and how MemberMouse fits the requirements of various users. WordPress Membership Plugin Custom Fields
Getting Started
The cool thing about this is that you are able to alter the registered URL, so in the event that you want to utilize MemberMouse on a staging site before migrating to a manufacturing website, you can register the staging site URL and fully set up your site and associates for launching, then migrate the URL to the live site. Once your website URL is registered in your MemberMouse account, you can then download the MemberMouse plugin in your dashboard and then install it in your WordPress website. From that point, you're ready to start configuring your site.If you don't want to establish the site yourself, you can purchase Quick Start support out of MemberMouse for $299, which comprises a WordPress installation (optional), MemberMouse installation following a consultation call, and an optional migration of membership data from an present site. WordPress Membership Plugin Custom Fields
MemberMouse Overview
MemberMouse is a WordPress membership plugin that integrates with any WordPress website. It supplies a full-featured solution for memberships, including content restriction, flexible billing options, content dripping, restricting logins, and supports developer tweaks and changes. Additionally, MemberMouse can offer upsells to members, or automatically provide downsells to customers that want to cancel so as to improve customer retention and maximize earnings. MemberMouse also allows members to update or downgrade memberships themselves.You can take a look at a complete feature listing from MemberMouse for each of the juicy details in one spot, or see our overview of some MemberMouse features.
Configuring MemberMouse
MemberMouse generates several webpages when installed (like a eCommerce plugin), such as voucher pages, login/out pages for associates, and much more. You can customize these pages so as to test the best approach for your shop, but I decided to get setup.You can take a look at your membership dash when you log into see some compressed details about your site, but since I haven't set anything up yet, I headed down to the General Settings menu to determine what options I had.Under general preferences, I navigated to"Other Settings" and managed to alter that which members see if logged , including the page they're redirected to and if to display protected menu items (for instance, if you are shielding products from non-members). 1 setting that many of you will Discover intriguing is that the"Access Sharing Security"This little box allows you to restrict the number of different IP addresses can log in to your website using the very same credentials at a 24-hour period. I'd enable more than one IP address in case members utilize a computer and a cellular device to view your content. That way they don't get frustrated by being locked from the website when using another apparatus. For some membership websites, the capability to restrict login information is non-negotiable, so MemberMouse becomes an appealing choice.MemberMouse also lets you create Employee users under General Settings so that support or sales employees can log in to your site and member center in order to create or help members, but do not have access to web site configuration options. As a last note on installation, MemberMouse includes a few built-in widgets that you can use to exhibit content throughout your website. By way of instance, the"Protected Content" widget can exhibit upcoming content to members based on which membership level access they have so they understand what things to look forward to (date could be included too ).

Creating Products with MemberMouse
One word of warning for those trying MemberMouse: watch the tutorial movies. I make a habit from jumping into with a new plugin without first reading documentation or watching movies, but I ended up going back and forth between the products and memberships which I generated and wasted time. Usually documentation is excellent for when I get stuck rather than as a starting point, but I was not sure why memberships and products were split in the way they were.MemberMouse assigns membership access to unique goods. If you're new at this, it might appear redundant to separate memberships out of products at first; nonetheless, this allows you more flexibility in pricing your membership solutions. You can create a"Bronze" membership access level and connect it to multiple goods, like a normal product (at one price), a discounted merchandise (using a promotional cost ), and an affiliate merchandise (with a price for consumers referred from an affiliate). After viewing the movies and understanding that this structure, I truly liked the flexibility offered by dividing membership access from goods.Products are created beneath Product Settings. Both physical and virtual products are managed from precisely the exact same page, and once your products are set up, after that you can create membership access levels and assign them to your products. To start, assign your"Associated Access" for your merchandise to"none" since you're going to be setting up memberships later.With MemberMouse, you can make sign-up fees or trial intervals. If you allow"Trials", you may optionally set a price for a trial period (which could be $0), then decide how long that trial period will operate. If you only want to use this to get a sign-up fee, then you can decide on a one-day trial and then initiate the membership. This isn't perfect, because the monthly fee will not be shown instantly at checkout because just the signup fee is shown, but it works well enough that it shouldn't be a problem. Your product description must explain fees and billing anyway.You can even make products"shippable" to take advantage of the limited shipping approaches accessible MemberMouse for memberships that involve bodily goods. WordPress Membership Plugin Custom Fields
Creating Membership Gain with MemberMouse
After products are made, you may then create membership access levels to connect to any of your membership solutions. These membership levels will determine the content limitation principles for members. But, you can also edit the access rules onto a per-post or per-page basis.When you make a membership level, you can assign that access level to a particular product. This is what I had been talking about in terms of flexibility — you can assign an access level for as many products as you want, so in the event that you provide promotional pricing for email subscribers or referrals from your own affiliates, you can tie the same access to each of these products.You will also select which classes will be protected for that access level from precisely the exact same screen. Multiple post categories can be chosen for accessibility. As a result, MemberMouse supports both tiered and topic-based memberships.As a default, access will be restricted for the whole post for each post in the class. But you can get around this to display post excerpts and teasers using Smart Tags. Access can also be set on a per-post or per-page foundation whilst editing a post or page. The post / webpage editor is also where you are going to manage content dripping. Dripping is flexible and super-simple, as you can specify a delay in accessibility for each membership level concerning days.After content dripping is set up, you can view schedules for each membership level below Product Settings > Content Dripping Program to find a general view of when each access level can view content. This webpage will also allow you to bulk edit access rights for every membership level, and customize content dripping times for each entry level. It is really helpful for those of you that currently have a lot of content generated, and only want to assign drip times and access rights from 1 display.Not certain how it'll look to each member? Look at the top of your display when previewing your site.
MemberMouse Smart Tags
Before you start setting up your site to market membership goods, you will want to check out a few of the built-in shortcodes for MemberMouse, known as Smart Tags. It is possible to use smart tags to add purchase links for your merchandise, selectively restrict (or remove restrictions from) certain pieces of content to create excerpts, and show member data. By way of instance, you can show a member's name on emails or welcome pages, content according to their membership level, or display content based on which affiliate referred the member to your site.Bright tags also let you insert hyperlinks that allow members to manage their own subscriptions, update memberships, or buy new goods.
Selling Bundles
MemberMouse has another sales choice of which you can take advantage. Participants cannot purchase more than one membership degree using MemberMouse. But, you can use a different content restriction tool, called a package, to provide a topic-based membership. This is also the way you can offer upsells to current members. You can assign many products to a package in the same manner that it is possible to assign many goods to a membership access level. Packages permit you to enlarge the material access a product provides when used in this way.Because Bundles are tied to goods in the exact same manner as membership access, bundles can also benefit from material dripping. The advantage to using packages is that members may purchase more than one bundle at a time.

Selling and Handling MemberMouse Memberships
When you are done learning about smart tags, establishing goods, access levels, and articles dripping, you'll want to sell the memberships you've created. While MemberMouse automatically creates a lot of pages, it does not create a catalogue or page. For me this is a good thing, since I believe selling memberships to possible users requires long-form content anyway — members probably are not likely to visit your website and browse for memberships straight away.To market memberships, you'll need to create posts or pages with buy links. It's possible to replicate purchase links from the product settings for each item, or create a purchase link employing a smart label if the link is being posted on your WordPress website (that is what we've done in the screenshot). You can even utilize MemberMouse's built-in button fashions rather than the ones from your theme (mine are somewhat lackluster since we are using the default theme).
MemberMouse prices are dependent on the number of consumers for your membership website, however MemberMouse is not a true SaaS solution, since the MemberMouse plugin runs on your servers. You put in the plugin on your site, but will also possess a MemberMouse account; your site then checks in with the MemberMouse licensing server to deliver data on site usage. As a result, site performance is completely determined by your own hosting and environment.MemberMouse pricing ranges from $20 a month for 1,000 users up to premium and professional plans at $300-600 per month for websites with over 100,000 users (service is included for all programs ). Each pricing tier provides different advantages (such as premium support starting with innovative programs ), but here's a rough breakdown of price based on number of users.
Managing Staff
Among the great things about MemberMouse is that members can handle themeselves, which can help free up time you'd otherwise spend onsite administration. For example, member upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations can be accomplished by members in the"My Account" page. You can even customize the member"My Account" page to mechanically upsell your merchandise for you, or to attempt to save sales if members wish to cancel.When members make adjustments to their accounts, these changes are automatically reflected on your email lists or other integrations built-in to MemberMouse so that you don't have to manually manage changes in membership (i.e., moving from the"gold" listing to the"platinum" email list). The members centre is geared towards automating and simplifying your website direction, which can save huge amounts of time for sites with thousands of members.If you'd like to downsell members who would like to cancel, you also are able to make the most of the MemberMouse Conserve the selling page, which lets you create a downsell that will be shown to associates that are looking to cancel a membership. If members do cancel, you can opt to hard cancel the membership, which blocks access into the members area and logging in, or you can pause the membership. When a member violates their accounts (or you choose to place cancellations to membership pauses), their registration is actually suspended so that they still have access to any material that's been published up to this point, but are removed from the drip program and cannot get any new content. WordPress Membership Plugin Custom Fields
Billing and Payments
Additionally, you are able to bill a one-time fee for memberships (though I would recommend avoiding this unless you're just starting out, since you'll always have to pursue new associates, which kind of defeats the purpose of some recurring billing model ).You might also use coupons with MemberMouse, and determine whether to apply them to the first billing cycle or the lifetime of the membership. Coupons can provide a percent a dollar-amount reduction. Coupons can also be created to deliver an entirely free membership, or you might create a membership to get a client yourself and comp that membership instead. Coupon use can be restricted to specific products or quite a few applications.The best part about charging is that you can control recurring billing activities, like refunds, directly from MemberMouse instead of logging in to your account with your payment processor. Finally, MemberMouse integrates with several popular payment providers, such as Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, Braintree, and ClickBank. It's possible to use one onsite payment system, such as Stripe or Authorize.net, and at the same time use PayPal and/or ClickBank to provide up to three payment choices.Because cards are tokenized and saved to get associates, MemberMouse can also help automate late payment managing to save your customer control staff time and keep your revenue stream flowing. When MemberMouse detects that a card has been diminished , it marks the member's accounts as overdue, then sends the member and email asking him to login and upgrade the card info in the account. The penis can then update charging information in the"My Account" page. The member is then instantly charged the sum as a result of member account is reactivated.
MemberMouse is not designed to be an eCommerce system, but it does allow you to promote some physical products through your website and to sell physical products with subscriptions, such as magazines (though I think it does a far better job with virtual goods than physical products). When you produce your product, you indicate it as"shippable", subsequently set up basic shipping prices (like regular and expedited shipping).As for me, I'd just include shipping as part of their membership prices a month (and promote that actuality!) To simplify my shop management, but the delivery methods can be useful for selling'swag' items and other physical products for your site.
MemberMouse includes a few integrations built in to assist you with your website administration. First, email is essential for communication and participation. Rather than install an internal email system, MemberMouse integrates directly with email marketing companies like MailChimp and AWeber. It is possible to use this integration to handle your connection with members having an email platform you are already familiar with, and moving members between automatic lists to save time.MemberMouse also integrates with iDevAffiliate to manage affiliates to your membership site. When clients have been sent from an affiliate, this can be mentioned in the member accounts, and you'll be able to opt to dynamically display content or offers to associates according to which affiliate referred them to your website.
Talking of Developers
If you are a sophisticated user, or have a developer on staff, you can further automate a lot of MemberMouse functions. In addition to clever tags (shortcodes in WordPress lingo), there are lots of actions and filters available, in addition to a well-documented set of global purposes for use in templates and other custom code.In addition, it is possible to create push notifications for site administrators and associates for events such as new member signups or charge receipts. However, these push notifications may also be used to trigger actions in third-party integrations (i.e., sending data to an accounting program ). MemberMouse also has an API that programmers can use to incorporate MemberMouse with outside systems, which is not true with all plugins. This permits you to make, get, and upgrade information regarding members.
MemberMouse includes email support with all programs, and provides various other tools for users. Total documentation is available, and was pretty helpful for me. Some documentation comprises movie walkthroughs, and all functions and settings are recorded. I just used the service desk one time for an issue with the wise tag library, and received an answer to the question I filed in the morning later the same day, and also got a follow-up email to let me know the issue would be resolved in the next release.Furthermore, there's programmer documentation available for website customizations. If you're running a membership site with tens of thousands of associates, chances are you own a developer on retainer or a single on team, so getting docs handy for tweaks and customizations is a plus.

MemberMouse Review
MemberMouse provides enormous functionality and will make it possible for you to see to your membership website like a business instead of a hobby. As it's designed for sites with tens of thousands of members, this should not come as a surprise. Establishing a website and fundamental material restriction is simple (especially with the assistance of this"Getting Started" videos), but much more personalization is possible in case you're willing to generate a time investment in site optimization and setup. There's definitely a learning curve involved with using MemberMouse, but it's in proportion to the sum of functionality you get out of the plugin, since it has virtually everything you might want in a membership platform.

Nature has always inspired me.
The natural beauty of plants and flowers, and their diverse shapes and colours has inspired me to look for beauty in the small and often overlooked.
A flower blooms, fades and is here only for a moment.
Capturing that moment photographically and combining this with jewellery making, allows its beauty to be carried with us a little while longer.
Beauty in Nature.

A middle age man was killed in an early morning gunfight between operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and suspected robbers in Lagos.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Bala Elkana, confirmed this in a statement sent to Channels Television on Monday.
According to him, the security operatives were on their way to recover weapons being used by a gang of suspected criminals before they were ambushed in Ilupeju axis of the state.
The statement said, "On 15th July, 2019 at about 7:30am, SARS Operatives led by Insp Mohammed Akeem while being led by a notorious gang leader Ikechukwu Monye 'm' 39 years old, to where their arms are kept, were ambushed by members of the gang along Ajisegiri Street Ilupeju."
Elkana explained that the assailants shot sporadically and, in the process, killed the victim who was only passing by.
He said reinforcement was quickly drafted to the scene while the whole area was cordoned off to apprehend the members of the gang and bring them to justice.
"Ilupeju has experienced violent attacks between members of Aiye and Eiye confraternities who equally engaged in heinous crimes such as armed robbery, rape and murder.
"The gang in question is responsible for series of robberies within Ilupeju and environ," the command's spokesman added.
He disclosed that the suspects have been on the wanted list of the police for the murder of six people during three robbery operations.
Elkana warned that the command would not condone the killing of innocent people by criminals in the state.
He also said the police would not tolerate attacks on its personnel and vowed to bring an end to the activities of the gang.
He asked members of the public to remain calm, noting that the command has intensified patrols and surveillance in the affected areas.
The command's spokesman condoled with the family of the deceased and assured them that justice would prevail.
He said the body of the victim has been deposited at the mortuary for post mortem examination.

Choi Eun-hee, a South Korean actress, has died in Seoul at the age of 91. She was a famous actress in her homeland and even beyond. The late DPRK head Kim Jong-il was a huge fan of hers and it was this admiration that later determined her uneasy fate.

Kim Jong-il ordered the kidnapping of Choi Eun-hee and by January 22, 1978 she was on the northern side of the border. Her ex-husband, famous film-maker Shin Sang-ok was also allegedly kidnapped (some rumors have claimed he could have voluntarily left for the North) and two years later was reunited with her. Eventually, they even remarried.
South Korean actress Choi Eun-hee, kidnapped by North Korea on the orders of Kim Jong Il in 1978, has died aged 91 https://t.co/1id7jM4t2J pic.twitter.com/Yc7oBWf2Lw— Anna Fifield (@annafifield) 17 апреля 2018 г.
The story behind the kidnapping was that Kim Jong-il, as a huge movie buff, wanted the North Korean film industry to go global, but he understood that it couldn't do so at that moment, not with such poor film quality. So he ordered Choi Eun-hee and her husband to create films for the DPRK and gave them vast resources to do so. Their creations managed to win awards at film festivals in Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union.

However the couple remained unhappy about the kidnapping episode and, despite always being accompanied by a significant security detail outside of North Korea, they managed to escape and find refuge in the US embassy in Vienna in 1986. After spending several years in the US, they finally returned to their homeland.
Kim Jong-il is the father of Kim Jong-un, current head of the DPRK. Kim Jong-il ruled over North Korea since the death of Kim Il-sung in 1994 up until his own demise in December 2011. During their eight years of captivity, Choi Eun-hee and Shin Sang-ok, he held significant posts in the structure of Workers' Party of Korea.

In January 2019, Completed.com will be taking their vision of a meritocracy to another level by enabling the best performers to shine. The platform will feature over 20 million profiles with images and data to enable professionals to rate their experiences with people they meet in the world of business.
If you have ever wondered what would happen if you combined, LinkedIn, Yelp and GlassDoor, the answer is Completed. The platform has its sights on righting a few wrongs. There is an increasing number of websites and platforms that are beginning to charge for information about individuals that is already available online for free.
Many websites are merely collecting data on individuals and selling it on for the right price. Completed.com was born out of the frustration of seeing more and more websites or apps charging users vast sums of money to access free information that is readily available online.
There appeared to be an entire ecosystem of paid for solutions that all support each other. For example websites such as WhitePages sell background reports on people. Meanwhile, others such as MugShots or RipOffReport appeared to be set up to charge again to remove mugshots or reports.
The catalyst emerged after noticing their newsfeeds and timelines began to be dominated by stories of both people and businesses being charged thousands of dollars to remove posts. There had to be a better way and an alternative solution that provided value to its users rather than trying to exploit them.
The team felt that many of these existing websites were akin to Google charging for searches on their search engine. Could you imagine that? The mission to remove these pain points once and for all and build an alternative solution quickly got underway.
The philosophy at Completed.com was merely to create the most comprehensive profile of a person on the internet and provide this information for free. Why? They just believed in their heart of hearts that it was crucial to provide free access to information that already exists and remove the so-called "gatekeeper" sites from the equation.
However, there were another set of problems that quickly appeared too. We are all living in a digital age where anyone can call themselves an influencer. Equally, people with 83 followers on Instagram were calling themselves Instagram experts. How are we able to distinguish between an alleged expert, guru, thought leader or influencer and the real deal?
What if they could create a genuine meritocracy of transparency. Reviews where reciprocity or favoritism of any kind was outlawed. Little by little, Completed began to evolve into something that was not only valuable but could give the world of recruitment and career development a much-needed shake-up.
It's widely accepted that the constructive criticism of employee performance is crucial to the future growth of an employee. By embracing accountability and responsibility, it can enhance the development of an individual. But, it is a sensitive subject for many people that have gotten a little too used to self-appraisals.
Essentially, we have all become our own PR managers where we carefully project an image of how we wish to be perceived. The first casualty of this digital trend is self-awareness. If we only publish our curated brand and pre-approved LinkedIn endorsements, what value are we providing? Ironically, we could also be preventing our personal growth in the process.
Completed.com are making a brave step forward by trying something different by committing to truth and transparency. It's true that there are keyboard warriors that are guilty of making many areas of the internet to feel incredibly toxic. But, that is not an excuse to carry on with the old way of doing things.
For these reasons alone, Completed has put in strict measures to prevent any cyberbullying, and the platform also prohibits harassment of any kind. Anyone that is reported for threatening any member of the community, trying to embarrass users or targeting them with bad reviews will be politely told to exit stage left.
However, there is also a feature where users can interact with their reviewers and ask questions or resolve any feedback concerns. Ultimately, Completed was built on the belief that people should be rewarded for good work and have a chance to get constructive feedback to improve themselves.
Whatever your opinion, most people can agree that the current system does not work. Whether it be telling white lies on your resume, endorsing a stranger for skills on LinkedIn in the name of reciprocity, or calling yourself an influencer. Something needs to change.
How we behave offline and online is building a picture of who we really are and maybe its time to bravely step outside of our echo chambers and accept that every one of us is on a journey of continuous improvement. And this is something that we should celebrate rather than fear.

Two weeks ago, Barack Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States. Whatever you think of his ideologies, many political analysts noted that he ran a "near-perfect" campaign, with a revolutionary use of the Internet to raise money and inspire his supporters.

Clare spent much of her childhood in Berkeley, California but she lived in Italy and England (her father is British, and she holds dual citizenship). As an adult, she lived in Los Angeles and Massachusetts but always came home to the San Francisco Bay Area, where she lives now with her husband and two sons. While her family is at school and work, Clare writes with her two dogs at her feet: a cockapoo named Mocha and a terrier mix shelter puppy called Riley.
Like many writers, Clare penned her first stories as a child. During college, she took creative writing classes but succumbed to the convincing argument that she needed a real job to fall back on and added an elementary education minor. She taught for several years, earned two masters degrees in education, and worked in educational research and curriculum development.
But the lure of writing never went away. After she married and had her first child, Clare became a stay-at-home mom and found story ideas coming to her during the quiet hours when the baby was asleep. She wrote four books and numerous short stories. Several of her short stories were published, but it took ten years and many rejections before Kensington Press offered her a two-book contract. Her debut novel, Once Bitten, hit the shelves December 1st.
Join me as we learn about more about Clare and her journey to publication.
Clare's Journey Commences
•You write paranormal romance. When did the sub-genre attract your attention? Had you long been a fan of such stories, or was the success of Harry Potter and other such works a factor in your decision to write paranormals?
I devoured all of Anne Rice's vampire and witch books when I was a teenager and young adult, and I'm sure that's why a vampire popped up when I began writing my first book. I've never tried to follow the trends: that doesn't work for me. You have to write what you love. But it's no coincidence that Once Bitten is being published now, even though I wrote it several years ago. The appetite for vampires right now is insatiable. The lesson, I think, is to keep revising and submitting your books, because if they're not trendy now, they might be next year!
•Ten years ago, you began your first novel-length story, which ended up being your first to sell. Where did the idea for Once Bitten come from?
I read an article in a San Francisco newspaper about "real vampires:" people who meet in clubs and drink each other's blood. I thought how interesting it would be if there was a real vampire hiding out among these wannabe vampires. And that's exactly what happens in Once Bitten.
Many writers have their first books stashed away in a closet or hidden in deep in their computer's memories and won't let a soul see them. You, however, sold your first story. Did the words flow from your fingertips with brilliance the rest of us only dream of, or did a great deal of work go into getting Once Bitten into a publishable format?
Why, the brilliance part, of course! Just kidding. I revised the book more times than I can count.
Keeping the Dream Alive
•You wrote four novel-length stories in ten years before you made your first sale. How did you maintain your momentum during that time?
Oh, I didn't. I must have quit a dozen times during those years. But then ideas would start to nibble at me and before I knew it I was at it again. I found it was helpful to think of my work as a hobby, like knitting or quilting, which I did for my own enjoyment, and to have a creative outlet, rather than worry about when I'd get published. Every book was different: one is young adult, another is a literary historical novel, a third is a contemporary romance. I used the freedom of not being published to try on all sorts of literary hats.
•As you worked on your stories, what did you find were the most helpful methods for honing your craft? Instructional books? Contest feedback? Critique partner comments? Workshops?
I think it's really important to make yourself part of the writing community. I belong to a writing group that's been together for nine years, and we've really kept each other going. Writing conferences are very useful, if you can afford them, as are community college classes. You can only do so much by yourself, at some point you have to get your work in front of other readers and listen to their feedback. I wasn't a member of Romance Writers of America® before I sold, but I joined last year and I've found my local chapter tremendously helpful and supportive.
I love books on writing; I have shelves of them. They're both inspirational and instructive. I love the ones by Stephen King and Elizabeth George, but the best and most helpful I've found are two books by James N. Frey (not the one who falsified his memoir) called How to Write a Damn Good Novel and The Key: How to Write Damn Good Fiction using the Power of Myth. If you don't have these already run to your bookstore and get them. You can thank me later.
Who or what served as motivation to keep writing during that decade you waited for The Call?
I love writing. I would have kept going even if I was never published, I'm convinced of that. I focused on becoming a better writer, which in the end is the only part of the process that you have control over.
Clare's Process
•Paranormal writers have to walk a fine line between creating another world and working within the framework of generally accepted and long-held concepts regarding fictional creatures known to many, such as vampires in your case. How do you strike that balance?
I've found that if you make your world convincing and internally consistent, and lay out the rules very clearly at the outset (can your vampires stand sunlight, for example) then readers will accept it if you veer from their traditional concepts of what that creature can do.
•You produced four books and numerous short stories during your first decade as a writer. Did you focus on one story at a time, or do you juggle multiple projects?
I always worked on one book at a time, but I'd take breaks to work on short fiction, which I found much easier to write, since I usually had the entire story in my head when I started, which was not the case with my novels.
Clare's Dream Comes True
•You had some short stories published prior to selling your debut novel. What was it like to see your first piece in print?
It was pretty darned cool, but I'd have to say the best part was getting a phone call from the editor of the literary magazine telling me that he loved my story. I write because I want to communicate with other human beings, not because I want to see my name carved on a piece of dead tree. When this stranger told me that my story touched him so much he wanted to share it with all his readers it really touched my heart. That story is on my website, by the way.
•After a decade of dreaming, the long-awaited day arrived. You received The Call. I understand the experience was exciting—and a bit unsettling. Please share with us that memorable moment and how technology ramped up the tension.
It's hard to believe now, because I've had my iPhone for two years and it's become like an extra appendage to my body, but when I received my first phone call from my agent I had just gotten my iPhone and I didn't know how to answer it. I knew it was her because I'd gotten an email earlier, but I couldn't answer the darn thing! I was running around the hotel room where we were staying, screaming while it rang, pushing everything that could be pushed. I lost that phone call, but when I called her back, remarkably she still wanted to talk to me. I guess there are second chances in life, lol.
•Once Bitten officially hit the shelves December 1st. Even before that, you received your author copies. What was it like to hold the book in your hands for the first time, inhale that just-printed scent and see your words on the page?
It's surreal. I think of the author of Once Bitten as someone else, even though she has my name, and the picture on the back page does somewhat resemble me (on a good-hair day). I don't know how many books it will take for me to believe that it actually is me. (It's still a good feeling, though.)
Clare's Debut Novel
•Please tell us about Once Bitten.
Angie McCaffrey has endured her share of liquid lunches and boardroom schmoozefests to win new advertising clients. But her latest account—a cosmetics line for wannabe vampires—involves some unusual customer research at San Francisco's hippest private nightclub. The "undead" patrons are about as genuine as Macabre Factor's press-on fangs, but one thing is very real—the skin-tingling connection Angie feels with her clients' mysterious friend, Eric Taylor.
Still, there are a few problems with this hot new romance. 1) Eric is rumored to have dated Angie's scheming boss, Lucy. 2) Lucy, missing for days, just turned up dead and bloodless. And, oh yeah, 3) Angie has suddenly developed a teeny aversion to sunlight. Is Eric a real vampire, a killer, or both? Angie's got a lot riding on the answer—her life, her heart, and maybe even her soul…
Clare's Journey Continues
•As a debut author who's just gone through the steps between first sale and release, how has your life changed? What advice would you offer to writers eager to land their first contracts about how to prepare for the days following The Call?
A lot of the marketing of books these days happens on the Web. I'd suggest getting a website set up, having a nice studio photograph taken, and arranging your blogs and Tweets and Facebooks and MySpaces and what have you, before you get the Call. In the romance genre the chances are you'll get a two or more book contract and you'll be busy trying to get your next project finished, so the more familiar you are with the online world the less time it will take you to get up to speed. But don't do this at the expense of making your writing the best it can be! It doesn't matter how great your website is or how cute your Tweets are if your book isn't sellable.
I had no online presence before I sold, and I still don't have much, because I'm busy trying to meet my deadlines for my next books. So thanks, Keli, for helping me get my name out there!
•Once Bitten is on the shelves, and Kensington has contracted a second vampire novel and a ghost story novella. Are they in the hands of your publisher? If so, what are you working on now?
I'm working on those two things and they're due really soon! Writing on a deadline is crazy for someone like me who's used to having, um, forever, to get a project done.
Five Ways Clare Fuels Her Creativity
~ Change your setting. Write in a different place, or use a different medium.
~ Change the point of view. Rewrite a scene from the other character's POV.
~ Go somewhere. Visit historic sites in your community and learn about who lived there. Then write about them.
~ Interview your character.
~ Take a book you love and outline it. Take it apart so you can see how it was made. See if you can identify what made you love it so.
Five Things That Make Clare a Unique Character
~ I traveled around the world before I turned two.
~ I work in a historic Victorian house museum.
~ I love San Francisco history and read everything I can get my hands on.
~ I love vintage clothing but don't own any (most of my characters do, though!)
~ I love southern Gothic writers, like Donna Tartt and Tim Gatreaux. I wish I could write about the South, but I have to settle for San Francisco gothic!
Clare's Question for You
•I've enjoyed having you as my guest, Clare. Thanks for your great answers to my questions. Now it's your turn to ask a question of your visitors, so have at it.
Are you attracted to vampires who don't bite (like Edward Cullen) and don't kill (like Bill Compton from True Blood)? What's going on with this trend for "de-fanged" vamps?

Iseoluwa… Another kid star steps out bold
Having read stories and followed her exploits online, meeting Iseoluwa Abidemi, somehow, became a priority. So, when the new of her live concert in Lagos broke, attending the gig was only a natural decision.
At a time when some parents are desperately pushing their kids towards the entertainment industry, which was once regarded as a job for 'never do wells', it has become necessarily to at least scrutinize these talents and possibly separate wheat from chaff. With the advent of social media, getting to stardom today is a matter of cash. However, on stage, it's entirely a different ball game.
Tagged Iseoluwa Live in Concert, the well-attended show was staged at the RCCG Jesus Embassy Parish, VGC Lekki, Lagos. Though other notable gospel artistes such as Diane, Mike Abdul of Midnight Crew, Tim Godfrey, Onos, Eben, Tosin Bee, Odunayo Aboderin, Wole Oni and others were on the bill, it was an opportunity for the 13-year-old Iseoluwa to prove herself on a big stage.The show anchor and talented musicologist Ben Ogwewi was the first to drop some hints about the young star, as he set the tone for the evening of great music.
"Iseoluwa is known to be shy, but she has God's gift of singing. I asked her parents for the permission to drill her like an adult and they gave me go ahead. There were days of tears and encouragement, but this has made her stronger and better to face a larger crowd," Ogbewi said.
Eventually, it was time for the young singer to mount the stage, what was already set on fire by the guest artistes, who wowed the excited crowd with electrifying performance. And really, coming on stage after the 'big boys' and 'big babes' was never going to be an easy task.
Gently and calmly, Iseoluwa made her way to the stay, with her session men already of cue. She then moved to the canter stage amid cheers from the crowd; all eyes were on her. As soon as she let loose her tongue to sing, it was obvious we have another child star in our hands.Her smooth delivery apart, Iseoluwa at her tender age has a good understanding of stage management; she carried herself like a star. Each song came with a different mood, which were clearly reflected in her performances. Sometimes she's calm, the next minute she's electrifying, keeping close eye contact with her band. Indeed, she must have gone through rigorous rehearsals to reach this level.
According to the young artiste, who intends to use her music to influence the world positively, the concert is her own little way of appreciating God's wonderful work in her life."I feel so excited as a young gospel singer because music is something I have always wanted to do. But the reason I wanted to do it is to please God; gospel singing is all about God and his wonderful works. Music is my passion, but I hope to be a lawyer in future," she enthused.
Already, Iseoluwa has dropped her first official single album and video to the delight of her listening audience. Titled Iseoluwa, the work made possible by her ever-supportive parents, as well as her project manager and producer, Frank Harrison-Uke.Narrating her journey into music, Iseoluwa said, "I'm a young girl whose musical talent was discovered at age five by my mum, who also is a singer herself in church. I became a prominent singer in my school choir at Emerald Primary School, Ogun State, taking lead and back up roles. My tender voice, when discovered, was subjected to vocal lessons by my music teacher Mr. Frank."
According to the young artiste, "At age 11, my mum, dad and Mr. Frank, my teacher, saw the need to encourage me to explore my musical talent by recording my first single titled Iseoluwa meaning the work of God. The song talks about the greatness of God through his wonderful works."
For her mother Mrs. Gloria Abidemi, Iseoluwa's musical talent was discovered at a very tender age."Those days, whenever she hears the Ise Oluwa tune on Channels Television as a little child, she would sing along. We thought it was one of the things children do and would soon stop with age, but she continued. When she's carried away, she starts scribbling and singing out what she is writing. Although music is her passion, it still has to be education first."
She continued: "We have set a timetable for music and education to ensure both are balanced. It has to be education first before music. Once your child is good at something, grab it and make use of it," she said.
As for her father Rotimi Abidemi, "She wants to study Law and we trust God. One day I was taking her to school and she said she wanted to form a band; God is blessing us with talents as our other children are also coming up. I listen to Asa a lot when I want to listen to secular music, but she is going to stick with the gospel," he assured.
