Shorts

By
Happy Wednesday Folks,

Today is a series of "shorts" meaning short updates about different things.

I've emailed Elizabeth Pina the interview questions and when she replies with her answers I'll pick a day to put them up here.

I just finished reading Robin Palmer's YA novel, Geek Charming. It was a cute and fun retelling of The Frog Prince. She has some other novels out...her first one in this set being Cindy Ella. She also has a mid-grade book coming out.

REMINDER: The NWHRWA is having its annual Lone Star Contest. Be sure to click here to get details and information on the rules of entering. There's a price cut for early entries which ends in May.

If anyone hears about any other contests be sure to let me know so I can put them up on my blog.

Drum roll please...

Two authors I really like have new novels coming out:

Mystery writer, Laura Childs has another one of her Tea Shop Mysteries coming out this month. The book is called The Teaberry Strangler, which I will be getting as soon as I can (after it's released) because I've bought every single one of her Tea Shop Mysteries and read them all. (I even got my mom and one of my aunts into her series). She has 2 other Mystery series out: Scrapbooking Mysteries and The Cackleberry Club Mysteries.

The other author is Paranormal Romance author, Kerreyln Sparks, who's next novel in the Love At Stake series was to be released yesterday (March 9, 2010). The novel is called The Vampire And The Virgin. I've read most of the ones in that series and she has very witty dialogue and fun characters.

Anyway...as for myself I'm pretty caught up in what's going on with my uncle, who's not doing very well. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Have A Witty Wednesday!

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...
