You're Just In Time For A News Flash...

Happy Wednesday All,

First of all, right now out of physical books I'm reading Firelight by Sophie Jordan. I just started, but it looks good. (Apparently it's been optioned for a movie, here's the article by Variety). On my E-Reader I've started reading Nina Cordoba's Not Dreaming Of You.

My friend, Loretta Wheeler has just put out a short story available on Kindle and Nook. It looks really good (I plan on getting and reading it, believe me). She told me the god, Pan is involved. It's entitled, The Pan Man. That sparked my interest (I love Greek/Roman Mythology. My hopeless romantic side has read several versions of Cupid & Psyche).

Tess St. John (my marvelous CP) is working on getting her novels ready for release, so don't put away those Kindles and Nooks anytime soon! You won't want to miss out on her work.

Oh and Kerrelyn Sparks fans...September is only 5 months away...then we finally get to see Gregori's story! (He's my favorite Vamp out of her series).

If you like vampires, take a peek at Robin Badillo's work. She's got 2 series available on Kindle.

So what are you reading now?

Have A Wondrous Wednesday!

Hi, Bethany!:) ALL of the books sound good, and I recognize a few names in here also:) There's nothing quite as exciting as seeing people you know personally with a new release...it's nice being in the "company of friends" especially when those friends are fellow writers.
Thank you for adding my name to the list:)

Loretta,

Thank you for dropping by. Sorry to hear about you having trouble posting on here before. Sometimes it happens--I really have no idea why (I've looked into it, and I'll let my readers know if I find out anything). Happy writing :-)

Get Thee A Nom De Plume!

Good Evening One & All, Shakespeare wrote in Romeo & Juliet, "What's in a name?...A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Disney talked about names in Aladdin in the lyrics, "Better get a nom de plume ." (the song, "One Jump"). So, for a writer, what does a nom de plume (or, pen name) say about the author? It could be a different spelling of the author's name, it could be a name that has a significance. They could keep their first name, but change the last, or change both. A pen name is also the name a writer will write under for his or her books. The name that his or her readers will recognize them. The name on the autographs and the one where people will say, "Oh yes, that's so and so, they wrote..." Some authors write under their own names. Others, for a variety of reasons, choose a pen name. What about you? Are you considering a pen name? What have you looked at when thinking of your nom de plume ? For myself, I...
