This is an interesting post. I have all sorts of questions that I like to ask new authors, and since Lisa Bouchard, author of The Shattered Door brought up editing in her original email to me, I thought I’d ask her about that. Personally, I think a good editor is priceless. And I think a few more new authors should consider… Read more
I love guest posts on Fridays! Easy for me and a chance for you to read about what someone else is thinking. As we cruise along towards Halloween, I’m getting lots of emails about scary books. The Haunted Housewives of Allister, Alabama sounds more scary than funny, but a haunted painting is a great idea, and who can resist a little… Read more

(For the record, I am also a big fan of editors and spellcheckers and all the things that make those new genres pleasant to read.) This particular novel piqued… Read more
This is a rescheduled guest post — it was originally scheduled for Friday, June 15th, but the email reached me late Thursday evening.

Today, I’ve got a guest post from Joanne DeMaio, author of Whole Latte Life . She decided to write a little bit about the journey to a creative life and enclosed a photo that inspired her… The journey to a creative life isn’t always readily available.

Today, I’ve got a great interview with author John J. Smith about his newest novel, Finding Katie. It’s a comedy, a bit of a departure from his earlier work, and I got a chance to ask him a few questions about his writing, his books and living the author’s life… How hard is it to balance working full time and… Read more
