Whatcha Reading?

Good afternoon, folks...

I have about 10 minutes before I have to run like the wind and get ready to run errands and cook/bake. My dad is coming over this evening to eat dinner with us, and I'm making an alfredo sauce (yes, from scratch, I have a nice receipe) and a brownie pie that looked pretty simple. (I love to cook/bake, but I like to have them simplified. Sometimes I just don't have the time to put together that wonderful Carrot Cake found in Joanne Fluke's The Carrot Cake Murder or the Apple Spice Cake found in Laura Childs' Tea Shop Mysteries) So I'm glad I found something simple.

Anyway...real quick...What's everybody currently READING (NOT working on).

If you look on the sidebar I always put what I'm currently reading. Right now it's Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. I've read it before, but I really like it.

So it's your turn. Whatcha reading?

Have A Tall Tale Thursday Afternoon/Evening!

I'm reading a book called "How I Stole Her Husband" by Liz Ireland. It's excellent, but I think it's kind of old. From the chick lit days.

I'm just starting a couple books that my editor gave me to read. He thinks they'll help me out. Neither are something I'd read normally.

"Swan Song" by Robert R. McCammon

and "Boneman's Daughter" by Ted Dekker

Both are more horror type's and I would never pick them up off the shelf. But, I need a small bit of that feeling in my book, so I'm going to go with it. He's a good guy...

Stephanie--don't underestimate the chick lit genre...it's apparently alive and well LOL. I hope you enjoy it. :-)

J.J.--For some reason the McCammon title sounds familair. Not sure why. I hope you enjoy those novels and learn all you need to from them! :-)

It's Worth A Fortune

By
Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

By
Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me:  In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta:  I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me:  You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...

Myths About Writers

By
Afternoon Folks, I thought we'd do a post to dispel some of the myths people seem to have about writers. I'll put the ones that first come to mind then y'all can chime in. Myth: Writing is a great way to make a lot of money. I'm not sure exactly how this one matriculated. Probably in the wake of some of the big best sellers (i.e. Stephen King, Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer, JK Rowling, and the like) but most of the time writers put in more money for their writing than they do get out of it. Generally a writer doesn't make a ton of money unless somehow his/her book is a blockbuster hit and blasts through what the author owes in the advance (which is paid back to publishers through royalties). Most writers I've met and talked to are not millionaires. I'm not saying it can't happen, I'm saying it's not one of those things that's automatic. Myth: Writing Is Easy Anybody Can Do It. Okay, granted this isn't entirely a myth, but it's not ent...
