The Timely Death Trilogy Prequel and Contest There’s so much I want to do as an author. I want to talk to readers more and travel more. (Something I talked about last Saturday.) But I also want to give YOU more. For instance, Take Me Tomorrow was the first book in The Tomo Trilogy, and now… Continue reading #SATurday: The Timely Death Trilogy Prequel and Contest
#WW Judging An Author’s Life
Judging An Author’s Life Recently—and by “recently” I mean a month ago—I posted this photo on my Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter, and . . . well, pretty much anywhere on the Internet that I have an account on. To my surprise, (and still to my confusion), I received a bit a slack for this. It… Continue reading #WW Judging An Author’s Life
#MondayBlogs: Writing Tips: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
Intro: Over the past two (almost three) years here on http://www.ShannonAThompson.com, I’ve shared numerous writing tips. I love writing tips. Even though everyone’s approach to writing is different, I think there is a lot to be benefitted from exploring new options by seeing how someone else does it. That is why I am so excited… Continue reading #MondayBlogs: Writing Tips: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
#SATurday Author Goals
#SATurday Author Goals About a week ago, my publisher—Clean Teen Publishing—went to Book Expo of America (#BEA15) to share our novels with the world. Awesome, right? I almost jumped out of my computer chair at the sight (and I rarely leave that chair, considering I’m a writer ::wink::) After that, I basically stalked their LIVE… Continue reading #SATurday Author Goals
#WW I Avoided Certain Books. Here’s Why.
#WW I Avoided Certain Books. Here’s Why. Right now, I’m basically reading all the novels I’ve avoided over the past year or so. Why did I avoid these reads? I can honestly just guess—since it’s difficult to remember—but I thought it’d make for an interesting topic. The first novel I picked up was The 5th… Continue reading #WW I Avoided Certain Books. Here’s Why.
#MondayBlogs: Never Give Up On An Idea
Intro: Pau’s Castles is a website that has a special place in my heart. I first met Pau across the blogosphere when I asked her to read The Timely Death Trilogy. Her reviewing style blew me away, and we ended up chatting—and never stopping. Her friendship is something I continue to cherish. Pau is a… Continue reading #MondayBlogs: Never Give Up On An Idea
May’s Ketchup
May’s Ketchup Can you believe it? Another month has flown by. And it’s still raining here in Missouri. Almost constantly. It’s actually rather unusual weather for us (to this degree), and I’m starting to wonder why I tend to begin these with a weather report. (I have no idea, but I enjoy it.) Alas, May… Continue reading May’s Ketchup

#MondayBlogs: The Thing About Author Interviews
Intro: If you’ve been following me for a while, I’m sure you’ve heard me mention Jonas Lee. He’s a fantastic author—both as a writer and as a supportive participant in the Indie community. I’ve even had the absolute pleasure of being interviewed via Google+ and appearing later on his YouTube channel (which you can watch… Continue reading #MondayBlogs: The Thing About Author Interviews
#SATurday: The Lightning Lesson
#SATurday The Lightning Lesson When I was little, part of my bedtime routine was taking a shower at night. But—as my mother would have it—we had one very important rule. No showering if there was a thunderstorm outside. She told us we’d be electrocuted if we did. Now, being little and a future artist, you should… Continue reading #SATurday: The Lightning Lesson
