Emotionally Spamming Readers I want to talk about something unusual…at least for me as an author…and because I’ve never really seen an article discussing it (other than how to avoid it), I thought it would be fun to address it. Overwhelming your readers with spam. Rather than talk about literal spam, I want to talk… Continue reading #SATurday Emotionally Spamming Readers

Intro: We’ve all seen it happen. Someone reviewing a novel by stating, “There’s romance in this, and I don’t like romance. One star.”…on a romance novel.

Yesterday, July 17, marked my eight-year anniversary of my very first published novel, November Snow. Coincidentally, it was also my one-year anniversary of Take Me Tomorrow (my last published novel with my old publisher).

Every writer and reader has a busy life, because every person has a busy life. Finding… Continue reading #SATurday: The Value of Knowing How Fast You Can Read or Write

#WW Staying Focused as a Writer Staying focused. It sounds simple but is all too complicated for many. It’s different for every writer, but I’ve recognized quite a few common stressors among authors.
