Adventures On The East Coast Part 1

Image
By
Happy Monday All,

On June 2, 2012, offspring, my husband, and I boarded a plane for the East Coast. The weather was lovely (anywhere between 60 degrees to slightly above 80, very LOW humidity). I got to see some family members I don't see extremely often, and we enjoyed scenery we don't see much around our area of the USA. We returned on June 9, 2012 in the evening, exhausted, but happy to have gone on the trip.

The weekend was full of laundry, grocery shopping, and settling back into our home. But for the most part we're set.

I'm currently getting pictures saved so that I can give you, my readers, a little "taste" of my trip.

While that's going on, ALERT TO AUTHORS both published and unpublished: the Northwest Houston Romance Writers of America's annual Lone Star Conference is happening this October (2012). Writers of all genres are invited to join us in Houston, Texas for a great conference! This is my 3rd year going. Every year has been a blast. Southern hospitality, people in the business, great speakers, and lots of laughter await you! For more information, please check out the NWHRWA's 2012 Lone Star Conference page.

Have A Marvelous Monday!

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...
