How Naturally, Charlie was Born
I’m lucky – that is what I keep telling myself because I’ve been able to promote Naturally, Charlie from the day it landed in my inbox. I love this story so when S.L. and I hashed out what topics she should write about I rambled off… Tell me how the Charlie’s were born and she loved the idea. All I want to say is: Thank you, Suzie for Naturally, Charlie. I am so happy to be part of this journey with you! How Naturally, Charlie was Born! Sometimes stories hit you like lightning and sometimes there is something that leads you to a story … 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
Into the Past with Author Elizabeth Isaacs
Today we are hosting author Elizabeth Isaacs. Beth’s topic for discussion is – Into the Past – a list of your past self would recommend at ages 5, 11, 16 and 20. I love this post! I’ve been an avid reader my entire life, and it’s odd that you’ve hit the ages where books seemed to influence me the most. Age 5: The Lorax by Dr. Seuss, and Blueberries for Sal by Christian Ahrens. My mom used to read to me every day. We’d sit on the couch in the living room, me in her lap, her arms around me as … Continue reading
Gust Post by author Amber Kizer
MUSIC AND HOW IT RELATES TO WRITING Amber Kizer, Guest Blog Post I can write in silence and there are definitely times when I need that—especially during the editing and revision process when I’m focusing on how the words on the page sound to the ear. But during the creative parts, the drafting, music is an integral part of how I work. Talking about WILDCAT FIREFLIES specifically… I went to the True Colors tour with Cyndi Lauper and the B52s when they came to Seattle several years ago. I do attend events and concerts because I’m doing research, or think … Continue reading
Guest Post with Sammie Spencer
Today, Heidi has kindly allowed me to take over her blog to talk a little bit about music that might have inspired me or that might be relevant to my characters. Amaretto Flame is the book, and it’s the first in the Eagleton Coven series. It centers on a young witch who makes a mistake and is banished from her home, forced to spend the summer as a normal human. There, she meets Jackson Vance *eyebrow waggle* and realizes just how much she doesn’t know – about humans, sexy musicians, and being hunted. I haven’t made a playlist for Amaretto … Continue reading
