This or That with Adam from One Moment
This was supposed to be the best summer of Maggie’s life. Now it’s the one she’d do anything to forget. Maggie remembers hanging out at the gorge with her closest friends after a blowout party. She remembers climbing the trail with her perfect boyfriend, Joey. She remembers that last kiss, soft, lingering, and meant to reassure her. So why can’t she remember what happened in the moment before they were supposed to dive? Why was she left cowering at the top of the cliff, while Joey floated in the water below–dead? As Maggie’s memories return in snatches, nothing seems to … Continue reading

Fall From Grace
Today we are supposed to be hosting a character interview with Sawyer from FALL FROM GRACE. When I read the novel months ago, I submitted my interview questions and didn’t really take into consideration what type of answers would be returned. What I failed to do is look at the calendar of when I was set to post and the release date of the book. So when author, Charles Benoit, started to answer the questions red flags went up and for good reason. I was asked to re-do the questions, but had been months since sent the book onto another … Continue reading

Double Clutch & Music
Today author, Liz Reinhardt, takes over with her guest post about music! My obsession with music can be a real problem. If Pandora is just playing awesome song after awesome song, I’ll get distracted hopping between the site and my manuscript so I can ‘like’ songs and keep the flow going. I’ll put together these long, complex playlists for the books and listen to certain songs on repeat as I type. I LOVE music, and I do listen while I write. Some authors don’t do that or find it distracting, but since I have little kids at my house all … Continue reading

Jim Maher’s Top Ten Reasons to Read His Book
Today we have a treat from Jim Maher author of Hemingway Man Jim tells us why he wants us to read his book! 1.) I’ll cry if you don’t. A lot. Weeping. Sobbing. Ugly crying. No one wants that. 2.) It’ll make you laugh. (Either honest reaction to the terrible writing, or the situations within will genuinely strike you as humorous. I would prefer the latter.) 3.) It’s short. (But not too short. We’re not talking a leaflet here. One sitting, but not like a bathroom break and done.) 4.) Look at that sweet, sweet title. Hemingway Man. 5.) I’m … Continue reading
