Announcements, Blog Tour, & More...

Happy Tuesday All,

So much is going on! It's all very exciting as July 10th draws closer and closer...I can feel it, can you?

Now before you click on anything, make sure you read the entire blog post--I wouldn't want you to miss anything.

First of all, my Bethany Averie Author website has been launched! Some of you have already been to it. For those who have not, click here. There's a blurb for All's Fair In Love & Lion (below it a special notice about a surprise coming soon), and information on other things I'm working on, plus other fun things.  Enjoy.

Second of all, the Bethany Averie All's Fair In Love & Lion Blog Tour kicks off this Friday (June 28, 2013) as I make a guest appearance on Four Foxes One Hound, as Tonette's guest. This blog post is an interview--so you'll get to know me and my writing technique better.

Thirdly...

Inspired by author Edgar Allen Poe, Mary Lindsey brings to life a brand new Young Adult (YA) Gothic novel. His fellow islanders have always shunned Liam. He's crippled and rumored to be a demon. However, when Annabel falls in love with the gentle young soul, supernatural powers plot to test the couple. Is their love enough? Find out in Ashes On The Waves (from Penguin Group), when it is released on June 27, 2013. Read an excerpt from Chapter 1 by clicking here. (I was fortunate enough to read an ARC of this novel...beautiful and suspenseful).

JULY 2013:  My chapter mate, Linda Bennett Pennell has her debut release (from Soul Mate Publishing), Al Capone At The Blanche Hotel. I saw the cover art for this novel and it's an awesome one and the blurb is intriguing, too.

Have A Tantalizingly Treat-Filled Tuesday!

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!

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

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

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...
