on Reading and Writing and All the Speculation In Between
Third day, third letter, third introduction to Dust to Blood as my theme for this year’s A to Z blog challenge. Final count for participants: 1930. Quite a few people; click on the link and go read what others have to blog about too. 🙂 Chernivtsi is Anne’s second stop in her research tour around…
Two days running, now… Just as a reminder, I’ll be blogging at least 26 days this month to keep up with the A-to-Z Challenge for bloggers. This is an annual affair started by Arlee Bird to form a global blogger alliance. This year there are coming up on 1800 blogs participating; we’re to post something…
Since I’m planning on releasing my first novel this month, and it’s crazy enough already, of course I had to add flames to the freak-out fire by trying something new to promote it. In the words of fellow challenge-mate Corrine O’Flynne: The A-to-Z Challenge is an annual affair started by a guy named Arlee Bird…
My day was just hijacked in the best possible way: I got COVER ART! And the very talented Gayla Drummond hit it out of the park on this one. She captures the look of Anne (the protagonist), not sure she’s being followed, doing a little bit of sight-seeing in Moscow as a way to throw…
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB @ Should Be Reading (she also hosts some other great memes). (And I found out about it via Cabin Goddess…) Anyone can play along! Just do the following: • Grab your current read • Open to a random page • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page • BE CAREFUL NOT…
Once again, I have to say: I feel lucky for having found a great group of mutually supportive writers via Twitter/Triberr. In this specific case, Barbara Rose (who also writes as Barbara Mack, whose book Chasing the Sunset I reviewed a few months back) has released a new young adult fantasy. She was kind enough…
Gayla tagged me for this meme, so I’m going to follow her directions as a variant preview for Dust to Blood, which is slated for release next month. Go to page 7 or 77 in your current manuscript Go to line 7 Copy down the next seven lines (sentences??) as they are – no cheating…
I have to admit to being a little overbooked (no pun intended!) these past few weeks. I’ve missed reading for review as I’ve been focused on reading for editing–both my own and freelance assignments. So I’m back to digging in my shelves for old favorites that deserve yet another bit of publicity. For this installment,…
I started reading Jane Lindskold‘s novels when we lived in New Mexico, and I was all enamored with the fact that I lived palpably close to a bestselling author–who was as enamored of wolves as I was. I thoroughly enjoyed her Wolf series, and have both reread it and loaned it out a few times….
Once again my Twitter addiction paid off for me: on February 20, @prmason reminded all her followers: “Entanglements (a full-length urban fantasy/paranormal romance) FREE for only a few more hours at Amazon.” I hadn’t actually read any of her other work, and I always enjoy a good urban fantasy, so I wandered over to Amazon…
