October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and Clean Teen Publishing participates by hosting giveaways and sharing posts about bullying. This is my story. I was twenty-one and out on the town with a friend one evening—a rare event for an introverted writer and cat lady, such as myself—when I found myself on a bar’s balcony.… Continue reading #WW Bullies and Their Writers

#SATurday Three-Year Blogging Anniversary
So, wow. Yesterday was my three-year anniversary of blogging right here on http://www.ShannonAThompson.com. Three years. My first blog post was on September 25, 2012. I never realized how much my life would change once I started this blog. For instance, back then, I had just started my last year of college at the University of… Continue reading #SATurday Three-Year Blogging Anniversary
#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
#BookRelease Death Before Daylight!
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. That's me.) Wow! This is surreal. Just a couple years ago, I thought my publishing journey was over. Then, I signed with one publisher… Continue reading #BookRelease Death Before Daylight!
#SATurday: Writing Update: Take Me Yesterday
I’m writing this blog post before I announce I’m working on Take Me Yesterday, book 2 of The Tomo Trilogy, but I’ve probably shown you a teaser by now. (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 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
#SATurday The Sting of #BookRelease Day
Release days are like bees. (How’s that simile?) If you’re like me, you both hate and love bees…and I’m unusually (and pathetically) terrified of them…even though I’ve only been stung once…and even then, I hated them long before one stung me at a bus stop while I was innocently sitting, doing nothing to deserve the… Continue reading #SATurday The Sting of #BookRelease Day
#WW Deciding To Change My Writing Plan
Writing is a business. It’s an investment of time, care, and love. (Love definitely makes it easier, anyway.) And all of this means that a writer must have a business plan, a plan that includes goals and direction and the ability to change at a moment’s notice if need be. That being said, every writer… Continue reading #WW Deciding To Change My Writing Plan
