This is the first week of summer vacation for my children…and I’m writing on the go more than ever as we go from swimming pools to skating rinks to bowling alleys! Hope you’ll pop over and visit me at Alan Orloff’s A Million Blogging Monkeys today for some tips on writing away from home.
Today I’m visiting Spunk on a Stick, talking a little about book promo. I’ve tried both traditional marketing and a more modern approach (with varying degrees of success.) Hope you’ll come by and visit. :)
Today I’m over at P.M. Terrell’s blog, with my thoughts on juggling storylines, publishers, characters, and more. Hope you’ll come by and join me!
And…I’m announcing the winner of my Finger Lickin’ Dead giveaway over at the Mystery Lovers’ Kitchen blog today. Hope you’ll come by for some fried okra and the giveaway results. :)
Hi everybody!
Today, on the Finger Lickin’ Dead blog tour, I’m posting at my friend Hart Johnson’s Confessions of a Watery Tart with my thoughts on sequels—including backstory (if you need to), reintroducing recurring characters (so as not to bore your returning readers and not to confuse your new ones), and how to keep things interesting in general. Hope you’ll come by and say hi. :)
My random drawing will be tonight for the signed copy of Finger Lickin’ Dead. You can enter until midnight ET tonight….
Was there a character or author who inspired you to write?
Although I knew I wanted to be a writer while I was still reading Nancy Drews, there was one character and author in particular who made me decide to go ahead and take the plunge. I’m on K.B. Owen’s blog this morning, talking about my inspiration…and it’s a character you might not be familiar with.
