Last week, I started my first serial flash fiction story about a thirty-something single woman named Dee. If you missed it, read Chapter 1 here --------------- 2. A Beacon for the Metaphorical Penis Beacon might have been the wrong word. A magnet was what Dee considered herself, but men of the wrong kind were an …

One Lovely Blog Award….
After you read about this amazing blog award, read through the list of nominated bloggers at the bottom.... Yeah!
I’m trying something new…
Serial Flash Fiction. See, I got this idea over the weekend. And the content isn't something I want to write a book about but I like the idea of a romantic-comedy-type story about a woman who thinks she is a magnet for the wrong type of man. Yeah, totally been done before, but not by …
Writing Process Blog Hop
It's My Turn... because the beautiful and talented Christa Wojo tagged me to participate in this most recent blog hop on my writing process. Basically, I get to answer four questions and then tag some poor, unsuspecting, yet talented writers/bloggers of my choosing! (Cue evil laugh) Without further ado, let the hazing begin! 1. What …
Writing Process Blog Hop
I’m re-blogging this post because I am among those tagged to go next and I thought Christa’s post would be a nice lead in. Also, I’m not ready to post mine just yet. And because Christa is just awesome…
Enjoy.
I was giddy when my Twitter bud, Susan Kicklighter (a woman who makes me literally LMAO on a daily basis) tagged me for this writing process blog hop.
I confess, I’m dying to have an excuse to talk about writing. I live in the mountains in a foreign country with a few pets who just don’t get as excited about literature as I do. My human companions politely smile at me like I’m a mental patient and change the subject.
So, my captive audience, let me tell you a thing or two about my favorite subject in the world.
1. What are you working on right now?
I’m working on the third novel of a series called The Sculptor of New Hope. It’s a dark romantic story steeped in artistic and literary themes. It explores mental illness, drug addiction, violence, and abuse. Conversely, the story focuses on questions about aesthetics…

Why Follow these 3 Top Rules on Social Media?
Reblogging!
Anyone who knows me, knows I’m always on Twitter. I’m also an author who uses Twitter/facebook/pinterest/google+ to connect and spread the word about my writing.
So, this sounds like great advice!
.
.
No one joins Twitter, FB, Google+ or Pinterest to constantly read about your book. That’s not very entertaining or interesting at all. Some writers don’t buy books from other writers, they want to sell their own. If ALL writers are doing on Twitter, Google+ or FB is self-promoting they are not only NOT attracting readers, but turning potential book buyers away.
.
Yes, famous writers may attract attention for what they have to say – not normally related to their books – but rather to their writer’s life or ideas – and they are often interesting or funny. It’s called social networks not selling pages… Authors should rather focus their promotional efforts on trying to get people to talk about things and yes, even about their fellow writer’s books:

- taking them to their book groups,
- writing articles or blog posts about their…
