Author Interview: A.M. Harte

While I’m busy with NaNoWriMo, I’m happy to host A.M. Harte on her virtual blog tour, promoting Above Ground. Enjoy: 1. You mention Above Ground is the first in a new dark fantasy series. How many books do you expect the series to run? In my mind, the main series has always been a trilogy….

Surprise Release Day: Angel Mine

Happy Halloween week… It’s a surprise short story release day. 🙂 I’ve been working on this one all summer long. For all that it’s fewer than 5,000 words, it’s gone through more revisions than my novels–and more dramatic changes, too. I previewed it a few weeks back, but you may or may not see that…

Character Interview: Discord Jones

I was amazed at the number of people who were interested in the character interview I did for WLC this weekend, so was talking with my favorite publisher, author Gayla Drummond, about it. Since we were in the mood and having fun with IM, I asked if I could interview her character, Discord Jones, of…

Book Review: Dark Dates

Tracey contacted me via this blog to request a review and her blurb so captured my attention I had to check out her blog. When I saw the whole “Body of a Geek Goddess” moniker, I had to interview her, too. Of course, now it’s been a few weeks and I’ve been dawdling about actually…

Book Review: Dark Waters

Here again, my love of Twitter introduced me to a new (to me) author: @TheShannonMayer. She is fun and friendly there, and shares lots of interesting links. She’s been pretty prolific over the past year or so, though the majority of her work deals in zombies–something I’m not particularly keen on. Then she decided to…

#AtoZChallenge – Z is for Zar

OK. I know I’m cheating a little, taking out the “T” you normally see at the beginning of the Anglicized version of this word, but I really struggled with finding a word related to Dust to Blood that began with Z for this final installment of the A to Z blogging challenge. After all, this…

#AtoZChallenge – Y is for Ya ne ponimayu

My penultimate A to Z blog challenge post. What a month! Doing 26 posts in a month seems like a mini NaNoWriMo–but I’m pleased with the background bits I’ve been able to share about Dust to Blood. So today’s post reverts to language study, and another one of the very early phrases any beginning student…

#AtoZChallenge – X is for Xarasho

I won’t claim I’m not cheating a little with today’s X entry for the A to Z blog challenge, but the Cyrillic spelling and pronunciation for the word of the day could easily be represented by an X (update: Here it is in Cyrillic, so you know I’m not lying: Хорошо). So I’m running with…

#AtoZChallenge – W is for Cold War

I struggled again, coming up with my 23rd entry in the A to Z blog challenge. There wasn’t anything obvious in Dust to Blood that would work for a W entry–until I took a step back with the help of my husband. He was right to point out that the backdrop for this story is…

#AtoZChallenge – V is for Vasily

I’m grateful to the A to Z blog challenge for showing me the whole daily blogging thing isn’t as big of a grind as I had worried it might be–so long as you have a useful framework and a way to build your posts ahead of time for a more guaranteed timely release. The timing…
