Whoa! Shannon is posting outside her regularly scheduled posts. What? Yes. I am. Because this is a big deal. At first I was only going to share fellow YA female writers who have written morally complex novels that often included violence, but I understand more want actual info…which I will provide links to below. But,… Continue reading Don’t Understand #MorallyComplicatedYA? Here’s Some Info.

#WW Writing Help from the World
About a week ago, it began to thunderstorm in the middle of November…and it rained for three days. The storm—insignificant to many—took me back to when I was a preteen and first writing Bad Bloods. I recalled how much I enjoyed the overall storyline but struggled with the simple aspects of the novel, mainly the… Continue reading #WW Writing Help from the World
#WW Writers Who Don’t Write
Recently, I came across an encouraging article by J.H. Moncrieff. And here you are: Writers, we need to stop saying this. To sum it up, Moncrieff speaks out against the phrase “Writers write” and encourages everyone to be more realistic. “Writers write whenever they can.” Way to go, Moncrieff! I love that she posted this,… Continue reading #WW Writers Who Don’t Write
#WW My Next Publication: Two Books, Release Dates, and More.
Last week, I announced that I signed November Snow with Clean Teen Publishing, and as promised, I'm releasing additional information today. The original version of November Snow that was published in 2007 was 600 pages. That being said, the rewrite is actually longer than the original, so Clean Teen Publishing has split November Snow into a two-part… Continue reading #WW My Next Publication: Two Books, Release Dates, and More.

#MondayBlogs Cartoons Make You a Better Writer
Intro: I love cartoons, and I love comic books and manga, and I’m very open about my love for these things. That being said, cartoons and comic books and manga are often depicted as things for children…something I obviously disagree with. J There are many reasons to love cartoons, and today, author Grant Goodman gives… Continue reading #MondayBlogs Cartoons Make You a Better Writer
#SATurday Book Releases explained by Sailor Moon
I love blogging. I love writing articles. I especially love writing articles that readers suggest. That being said, today’s article was inspired by reader, Angela Dellisola. Her comment came on the release day of Death Before Daylight…after I made an entire batch of chocolate chip cookies to celebrate. I posted it on my Facebook page,… Continue reading #SATurday Book Releases explained by Sailor Moon

Before I share a letter, here is where you can find Death Before Daylight: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Kobo, Goodreads Don't forget! The first book is free. 🙂 Letter from the author: (Oh, wait.

#WW Writing in Limbo
This may be personal in regards to my writing life, but I’d be surprised if it were unique to me. During and right after a book release, it’s difficult for me to write. Not because I don’t want to, but because I end up spending hours upon hours on Luna-P (a.k.a. my lappy toppy) for interviews,… Continue reading #WW Writing in Limbo
