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

Today, our guest blogger,… Continue reading #MondayBlogs Writing About Real and Imaginary Locations

#SATurday Emotionally Spamming Readers
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.

#MondayBlogs: Criticizing Wrongly
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.

Book reviewing is a tricky (and sometimes) confusing… Continue reading #MondayBlogs: Criticizing Wrongly
