Opening quote: “So… I loved this book. Of course, I’m a sucker for epic fantasy to begin with, but I think that there are a lot of elements to this novel that make it a breath of fresh air for the usual fantasy reader.” The rest of the review (5 Cupcakes) can be found here: …
I’m very active on Facebook. In fact, I have my personal page, my author page, and a page for a small critique group I’m in. I also have lots of “friends” over there. Not so many that Facebook is asking me to cut back, but enough. My daughter insists that no one can know as …
Hello, gang! I’m sorry I didn’t get a Teaser posted last Tuesday. Life was just chaos. Last week was Vacation Bible School at our church, a time of year I love and dread! I do drama (story time) every year, and while it’s fun and I love it, I am always exhausted by lunch time …
There seems to be some confusion about Teaser Tuesday. The idea is that you post an excerpt (a teaser) from your most recent or soon to be released novel. I write fantasy, but it can be anything! Maybe not erotic, but if you can keep the excerpt PG-13, that would be cool. Anyway, you post …
I’ve been tagged! Amazing author Leah Sanders challenged me to: 1. Go to page 77 of my manuscript. 2. Go to line 7. 3. Copy the next 7 lines/paragraphs. 4. Tag 7 other writers to do the same. “We don’t know what kind of people these Sarl are.” Anthelme patted his horse and looked at …
Another week has gone by and I didn’t blog as extensively as I’d hoped. — I was up at Weight Watchers but down over the last four weeks, so I’m keeping on. I need to track more consistently and I considered how I would help myself. Visualization is one thing I’m working on, plus I …
Welcome to another edition of Teaser Tuesday. In news, Sword & Illusion has still not been released even though it was supposed to come out last week. Last I knew, we were still work out cover issues. This is very frustrating, but in the meantime, you get another teaser. If you are an author with …
—Well, Sword & Illusion was supposed to be released yesterday, but we were having some cover issues. Mainly, we didn’t get the cover art form until just last week, and Steve had some problems with the cover they originally sent. I kinda did, too, but I’m not as visual as he is, so I wasn’t …
Sorry I didn’t get Teaser Tuesday done last week, and right after I said I wanted to make this a regular thing. I woke up last week so sick I didn’t have the energy to turn on the computer. But I’m better today, so here is your teaser for Sword & Illusion. Oh, just to …
I’m guessing Meet me on Monday isn’t running anymore as the blog that sponsored it seems to be “stuck” at a couple of weeks ago, so I’ll do this one. Just a bit of Miscellany to talk about. 1. This week seemed to have a Fifty Shades of Grey theme. It is NOT a book …
