A Brief Note -- Update

Hello Everyone,

Normally I don't post on the weekend, but for those of you not on my Facebook page, I thought I better let you know a few things:

1.  My blog was closed most of the week because I'm working on a novel. Information on the novel I'm working on can be found in the margin of this blog underneath the information on Surreal.

2. Earlier this week I had an annoymous person trying to post a comment...normally I don't have problems with people posting annoymously, however, my comment section is NOT for advertising your webpages (I don't mind if you you have a link to your webpage under your name or if your name links to your webpage, just please do NOT advertise about it in the comment section). The only time I do any kind of "advertising" or plugging businesses is when I've had personal experience with the website and/or that website has something to do with writing and/or books. If you want your business advertised, my comment section is not the place to do that. I didn't think I needed to say this because I figured most people knew that, which is why I haven't mentioned it before. Another problem is, it was an annoymous post, so I thought it was Spam (in fact, the post was IN my Spam folder). If you have something that has to do with books that you want plugged, email me first and we'll talk about it--but do not send me annoymous messages or annoymous comment posts about plugging your webpage. I'll delete them. This is not to be mean, this is to be as safe as possible on the internet.

3.  I might be posting a regular post on Monday--we'll have to see how much progress I make with my writing.

If you have any questions or comments about anything on this blog or this post, please send me an email message.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

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...

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...
