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!

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...
