It's Reading Time

Happy Monday All,

Recently I read Susan Elizabeth Phillips' Ain't She Sweet? I know what you're thinking...it's the same thing I think each time I read the title...that song by the same title. The book was funny and fun. I enjoyed it. 

So what have you read lately that's funny or fun (or both)?

Tomorrow I'm posting a book review--some of you know what it is--the rest of you, here's a BIG hint:  it has to do with the author who's interview I posted last week.

I've been looking forward to this review for awhile. I won't go into the reasons (I'll save that for the review), but I'm telling you...well, you'll see.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Have A Marvelous Monday!

Hi, Bethany! I recently found a copy of the anthology "Faeries Gone Wild" because of the story by MJ Davidson,(as you know, one of my favorite writers and people). Her lead story was enjoyable as always, as were the others, esp. "Dust Me, Baby,One More Time" by Michele Hauf. I had a very good time with them.

This is one of my all time favorite books. I had just experienced the Margie Lawson workshop sponsored by WHRWA and when I read this book I just kept asking myself, "How did she do that?" Later I went back with a highlighter and marked all the places she used visceral response to show emotion, among other things. Great writer. Great book. June Faver

June,

Thanks for dropping by.

Susan Elizabeth Phillips definitely has a great capacity for illiciting a reaction from readers, which makes her writing good. I liked "Ain't She Sweet" quite a bit...when I finished it I had "warm fuzzies". Any book that can leave me feeling that way is one I'm happy to recommend :-)

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...
