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 :-)

Get Thee A Nom De Plume!

By
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...

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...
