Stealing Harper: Tears, Q&A with author, Tears, links, support group, Tears!

So, the world is all ok. And yet, not ok at all! WHY? Because STEALING HARPER is available for download EVERYWHERE-- well, every place that sells e-books! Have you read it yet? No spoilers here, but um, stuff gets BAD. And tragic. And God, that Chase is even more of a jerk than we thought he was! Sex on the brain, man, that's all he's got. Well, actually ok, so he does really have a soul, but it is a developing soul and one that needs to respect the ladies! Agh, OMG, he's still such a jerk! Yet so hot. Le sigh. And Brandon is just so boring. So despite all the insight you get into Chase's dirty mind in STEALING HARPER, I am still Team Chase all the way. Also I can't stop crying, but I will give too much away if I elaborate, so I'll stop there! Ok,...

Time… A writer’s Nemesis…

Time. We all wish for more time in the day. I don’t know how many times I’ve been working on something and wished for 25 hours in a day instead of 24. Someone told me the other day that I had too many irons in the fire, but I don’t agree. I love to be busy. It’s a good thing since I’m a wife, mother, Accountant, Children’s Minister, Author and self publisher. Wow, what a list Sometimes it’s overwhelming, but then again it’s rewarding.  Everything I do is because of a passion. I’m not the type of person to jump into something that I don’t like to do. Some aspects of my passions are not my favorite things to do, but that’s the nature of the beast.  As a writer you need a little time everyday to put pen to paper or fingers to keys. I love writing and don’t...

Can Writers Protect Themselves From Scams?

Caveat Emptor”; it means “buyer beware”. Scams and rip-offs are nothing new, and writers are not exempt from being targeted, especially eager new writers. I recently read an article on Forbes by Suw Charman-Anderson about this very subject, and I couldn’t help but think of all the ways that people can be taken advantage of in this industry. We’ve all heard about the evils of vanity publishing, which is not to be confused with self-publishing. To my understanding, vanity publishing is where a writer hires a company, for a fee, to publish their work. There is little or no support on behalf of the so-called publisher, no editing, no cover art support, no marketing and promotion. If the writer would like these services, they agree to pay the publisher additional funds for them. On the other hand, self-publishing has gained huge recognition in the publishing industry at large, and has...

Honors and Prayers

First and foremost let’s get to the prayers. If you’ve been listening or watching the news you know about the tornadoes that hit Oklahoma yesterday. It’s so tragic in the fact that lives were lost and homes destroyed. I sat and cried last night and this morning after seeing the devastation. It always affects me more when children are involved. They were so young. Please pray for those precious souls and their parents. Pray for the heroes working diligently to help. Prayer is what they need now. As for honors, I was given a very special honor yesterday. I was asked to be a sponsored author in the July issue Southern Writers Magazine on their Magnolia Corner page. The book that will be spotlighted will be “Rekindled Flame”. I’m really excited about this opportunity. Hopefully this post finds all of you well and safe. As storm season get’s into full...
