Every Monday I take a popular post from the past, and I rewrite it with new information and approaches. Today, we’re talking about the dreaded back blurb. Why do we dread the back blurb? Well, because it can be the making or breaking point for the reader. That little blurb on the back can be… Continue reading #WritingTips Writing The Back Blurb

October’s Ketchup
October’s Ketchup First of all, Happy Halloween! Second of all, have a piece of candy for me today. And finally, thanks for being part of my life this October. Between the paperback of Death Before Daylight releasing and the KC book signing, it’s safe to say that this month was wonderful, but as usual, the… Continue reading October’s Ketchup
SAT Update: Crimson Peak, Submissions, Adele, M&Ms, and More.
Here we are! I have so many exciting things to say, and I hope I get to say even more in my next Saturday post…which won’t be until November 7, since our monthly Ketchup post takes place next Saturday. (Was that easy to follow?) But first and foremost, the paperback of Death Before Daylight released… Continue reading SAT Update: Crimson Peak, Submissions, Adele, M&Ms, and More.
Saturday Update: The Intern, Salman Rushdie, Crimson Peak, and more.
I need a name for these posts. If you have an idea, shoot me one. You know, I’m really enjoying this whole Saturday update thing, even though this is only the second one.

This one also might be a little… Continue reading Saturday Update: The Intern, Salman Rushdie, Crimson Peak, and more.
#SATurday: Writing Update: Take Me Yesterday

(This time warp I live in—two weeks before my life is posted—is still rather strange, but it is especially ironic in this case.) For those of… Continue reading #SATurday: Writing Update: Take Me Yesterday
#WW Attending Book Cons
Attending Book Cons Whew! I’m back from Atlanta. (Although, to be perfectly honest, I’m writing this right before I leave for Atlanta…I’m basically in a mind-blowing matrix of messed up time right now.) And as promised, I wanted to share how Penned Con in St. Louis went. First off, I went as a reader. I didn’t… Continue reading #WW Attending Book Cons
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
#WW Why Dedications Are Important
Why Dedications Are Important Today I wanted to cover a topic I find personally important in my novels. It may not be as vital to every author out there, but I place a lot of my heart into dedicating my novel to someone for many reasons, and I thought I would share why. I’m also… Continue reading #WW Why Dedications Are Important
