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 …
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 …
