Pssst! Have You Heard?

Happy Tuesday All,

Didn't I say to keep an eye on my blog? Sure, it's afternoon...and normally I'd have a post up in the morning...but hey, sometimes it's fun to shake things up a bit.

Hope everyone got to see the title change in yesterday's post. Yes, Surreal is now All's Fair In Love & Lion. My editor wanted a new title, and so I sent her a list of ideas. She chose 2, I took some time to consider both options, got some feedback, and then decided on All's Fair In Love & Lion. Editor says she loves it, so that's good!

So...what's the big news? What's so exciting?

I'll need another drumroll please...


Ready?
 
Are you sure?
 
Really positive?
 
Really, really positive?
 
Okay....here it is...

All's Fair In Love & Lion
will release in July of this year (2013)!!!!

I can hardly believe it! Editor gave me the go ahead to announce, so I'm announcing.  I'm knee-deep in the edits. The cover art sheet they asked me to fill out has been turned in. I've sent in the dedication and the acknowledgements and my author bio. So now, it's just a matter of getting everything pulled together.

From what I understand it will first be released as E-book for Kindle and Nook available at Soul Mate Publishing's website, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. Then later on it'll be available in print.

I appreciate all of you accompanying me on this journey, and I thank you for the well-wishes, support, encouragement, laughter, shared stories, and everything. I hope all of you will join me to as I continue this journey called writing and publishing. I also hope you enjoy All's Fair In Love & Lion when it comes out!

Have A Totally Terrific Tuesday!

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...
