EXTRA! EXTRA!

Happy Wednesday Everybody,

Things are picking up (in terms of what's going on). The Lone Star Contest will be closed to entries on June 6, 2010 at midnight, so be sure to get your entries in BEFORE June 6th at midnight (you have 11-12 more days). The early entry discount is closed (it closed on May 23rd) but you can still enter the Lone Star Contest. Click here for details.

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, JUNE 1, 2010! (that's next week, folks). Why? Because I'm posting an email interview I did with author, Christie Craig in honor of her newest novel, Shut Up And Kiss Me being released. She's announced the interview on her website and one lucky commenter to my blog will get an autographed copy of the book! (If it wasn't a conflict of interest, I'd ask if I could be a part of this contest LOL, but it wouldn't be fair since this is my blog). So be sure to be here on Tuesday, June 1, 2010 to read the interview and comment because you could win a free copy of this book. (Only those who comment on that interview post will have a chance to win an autographed copy of Christie Craig's book, Shut Up And Kiss Me--and I won't be posting the interview until June 1st, so sorry, no early bird entries on this give-away you have to wait for the interview post).

I have a crazy week. My kid is sick, I had a couple of appointments and Thursday I have something else going on in the morning, so I've been swamped this week, so please pardon me if I haven't been posting as often...things are kinda busy on my end.

Have A Way-Cool Wednesday!

Regina,

Thanks! I know Christie will appreciate you coming back on June 1st to see it. She's a sweetheart (she's in the writers' group I'm a member of) and she's smart, funny and fun :-)

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...
