Shannon, here, for an introduction: As many of you know, I don’t normally accept volunteers for guest posts. Instead, I go out and find writers that I ask to post on my blog. I also sometimes ask those who participate on my author Facebook page or on here to contribute to a guest post as… Continue reading Guest Post: The Passion – she is contagious

The Controversy of Rating and Reviewing Novels

We may not be able to stop all trolls, but… Continue reading The Controversy of Rating and Reviewing Novels
So You Want to be a Book Blogger
I must clarify one thing before I start: I am not a book blogger, but I used to be – for about three years. (Fun fact: I also had a short stay on Let’s Get It On, Kansas City.) I’m an author, too, so – naturally – I adore book bloggers. In a metaphor, book… Continue reading So You Want to be a Book Blogger
Why I Am Most Nervous About the Second Book of a Trilogy
Before I start today, I wanted to thank Press Pause, Fast Forward for reading and reviewing Seconds Before Sunrise, which you can read by clicking here. We’re getting closer - only 23 days left – which, by the way, The Timely Death Trilogy broke a new record last month, hence the photo on the right.… Continue reading Why I Am Most Nervous About the Second Book of a Trilogy
The Oscars: Who I Want to Win This Year
Before you indulge in the Oscars like I did, I hope you’ll take the time to read my latest interview. When Jera’s Jamboree asked me where I get inspiration for my novels, I wasn’t sure what I would say, but I am glad she asked. Yes, at 22, I still have night terrors as well… Continue reading The Oscars: Who I Want to Win This Year

You Have Committed Copyright Infringement
Three announcements before I talk about a REALLY important issue in the art industry that I recently – and very personally – experienced. Normally, this day is reserved for “Website Wonders.” But I have made an exception. You can expect February’s Website Wonders next time, but I hope you will read what I have to… Continue reading You Have Committed Copyright Infringement
My Insecurities and How I Overcame Them
Before I start I have one article I would like everyone who plays Candy Crush Saga to consider. As many of you know I wrote, Why You Should Boycott King and Candy Crush Saga, less than a month ago, and now I have another reason to encourage it. Please read this: CandySwipe Open Letter to… Continue reading My Insecurities and How I Overcame Them
For the First Time in a Long Time, I Struggled with Writing, and This is What I Did About It
So, my title was ridiculously long, especially compared to my other titles. This might be because I have been struggling the past week. I will not call this “writer’s block” because it isn’t. It’s more about me than writing. (Plus, I truly think that calling it a certain thing can cause the problem to be… Continue reading For the First Time in a Long Time, I Struggled with Writing, and This is What I Did About It
