Business Cards, Pseudonyms, Websites; Or Making Your Presence Known

Happy Tuesday All,

My business cards with the name "Bethany Averie" on them just came in yesterday (the first box, that is). It feels surreal (to borrow from the title of the manuscript I'm polishing for querying) to have them. "Averie" is a pseudonym for me since I'm trying to keep my personal/private life personal and private and my writing life separate for a variety of reasons.

Also, I'm sending information off to my webmaster so that he can start looking around so I can buy my domain name and get that going. He's someone I know and good with the web mastering and easy to work with--very knowledgeable, too. So, he's gonna help me with that part. 

Anyway, there's exciting things happening on my end, so check back to see what's next :-)

What's going on with you?

Have A Terrific Tuesday!

Oh, this sounds like so much fun, Bethany!! Yay! :-)

Shannon,

Yeah, I'm hoping that agents and editors will approve of my pseudonym since it'll be pretty easy for me to remember. But I don't think they'll be a big problem.

I'm gearing up for the Conference...be sure to check out the link if you haven't already. It looks like it's going to be really good. 3 weeks and 4 days left!

Thanks for coming by Shannon! :-)

It's Worth A Fortune

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!

It's All About August..

  Hi Everyone! End of August is coming up, and thus, it's time for a monthly update from yours truly. Currently, I'm waiting on some responses on queries for Sugar & Frost . There's been a bit more interest since #UnhingedPit and #questpit, so that's great. I love this story so much, that I'm happy with other people get interested. As far as I'm concerned, it's a fun read. I call it the "book of my heart" because it's just exactly something I'd pick up as a reader and cuddle up with a comfy blanket in a chair, couch, or in bed, with something hot to drink and just enjoy. I also dedicated it to my siblings, so there is a personal aspect to it, too. Other manuscripts:  Moonrise Pack: Shifter Secrets (YA Fantasy, wolf shifters, sweet romance) is in edits--I finally sat down and started working on it. I'm not very far along in the editing, yet, but hopeful about polishing it. I had made a poster for it for #PosterPit since they allow W...

Spotlight On Author: Kerrelyn Sparks

Happy Friday Everybody, THE CONTEST PORTION OF THIS AUTHOR INTERVIEW IS NOW OFFICIALLY CLOSED. Finally! I get to post the interview with Kerrelyn Sparks . I was planning to last Friday, but unfortunately my computer had issues.

Not only do you get this awesome interview to read, but if you leave a comment in the comment section (with your first name and email address--I won't be able to contact you if you're the winner if you don't leave your email address) I'll put your name and email address in my contest box for Friday night's drawing for a chance to win Kerrelyn Sparks' Be Still My Vampire Heart .
