Pssst. Are you interested in opportunities to sell more books? Don't overlook this piece of advice. Work with other authors. Yes, I said it. Authors are not your competition. Although sometimes the idea of working with other authors might seem daunting or nerve-wracking, don't be intimidated for they are people, too. You want to find the right authors, though. What I mean by this is create a group of authors in mind that write your same genre and have your same audienc

My first workshop is tomorrow! Squee . I am so grateful and excited for this opportunity to share my knowledge with new and established authors, alike. It's crazy to think that in the past, standing up in front of people and talking to them about anything scared the bejeezus out of me. But, today, I am a different person. Although I am still a little lost when it comes to technology (hooking up my laptop to a projector and projecting the Power Point presentation across a s

Do you like Holiday romances? How about ones with shape shifters in them? I wrote Jingle Bear because I wanted to write a best friends to lovers’ story during the Thanksgiving to Christmas holiday season. I have always wanted to write a holiday story. The idea of a growly bear shifter came into my mind and I had to center it around the holidays. The way in which the main character, Gabe, jingles for his mate was just a plus, for the book. It was a crazy, fun idea I had on

Aah, those two little words that mean so much to an author, once they are written down. It is the goal of every author to write those two little words. Yet, not all authors get to write those words. Sometimes, the manuscript lies there, unfinished, on paper or saved onto a computer. Sometimes, part of the manuscript lingers around in the author’s head but never gets written. Sometimes a work in progress (WIP) is started but never finished. Whichever the reason, it is sad to

Hello, my friends. So today’s topic of conversation is the difference between genres, specifically paranormal and contemporary romance. These two genres are pretty broad as there are so many sub-categories to them now. For instance, monster romance could be placed under the main, broad category of paranormal. So, when starting to write romance, which genre do you go into? Well, the first question I would ask you is what interests you more? That’s always the genre that you

Network. As an author, I can’t say this enough. You always want to keep your options open because you never know when an opportunity might present itself. You also never know when you might need to reach out to an author in your network to ask them a quick question or two. Authors are invaluable to one’s growth and insight as authors have individualized personal experience that a Google search will not provide to you. But know this. An author’s journey or path is often so

From Centurion, Book Two of the Guardian League series by TK Lawyer So many varieties, so many different ways of “designing” your cup o’joe. How do you like your coffee? Expresso, latte, cappuccino, frappe? There are so many different options, it makes the mind spin. Frankly, I am confused and need explanations at times as to what is the difference between a cappuccino and an expresso. I like my coffee hot or cold. What I get depends on how I am feeling. It also kind of d

Wingtopia Club series by TK Lawyer So many possibilities and lots of time ahead of you. What will you be doing this year? For me? I am planning on publishing two books this year but that means I first have to get off my butt to write the one that is in progress (LOL). As for what is next? I have no plans (yet). As I take life by the horns and go with whatever is tossed at me. I will be attending several book signings appearances and conferences this year and hope to see

Sometimes you can get your best writing done when you are working through the deepest, most uncomfortable emotions. This happened to me several years ago, shortly after my dad died. You see, my mom and I were close but I had a strained relationship with my dad. I loved him but because of who he was and other things I will not get into, here, I was not that close with him. I was truly surprised when after his passing, I realized how much his death affected me. With my mom,

Do you know that this time, last year, I had double vision in my left eye? I went to the Eye Doctor, recently, and they asked me about my double vision. I was a bit surprised because I had forgotten all about going through that nasty adventure and since it healed in a little more than three months, I have, thankfully, have had no problems with my eyes, since. Yes, last year was horrible as I had to experience my beloved holidays with unclear eyesight. I was able to see out

I have been writing for more than ten years now. Almost eleven years, actually, and I have to tell you that some things I did in the past, I don’t do now. Every author grows with each experience. My first book fair was at a mall in Tampa. I tell you, this was a horrible experience for me and being my first one was a real eye opener. However, to this day, I am thankful for this experience that almost made me quit as a writer. I learned something. I learned to step out fr

So, you want to write a book, now what? How organized are you? Do you like working from a shell giving you pointers and direction? Do you like heavily detailed, fine information that will tell you exactly what to put in each scene? Or do you “fly by the seat of your pants” and write when the characters talk to you? As an author with a full time day job, I am the latter. I also write only when I am in the mood and that does not happen that often or as often as I’d like. I am
