What does Lindsey like?
“We” sat down with Lindsey from The Miseducation of Cameron Post and talked about what she likes! Sandals or Flip Flops Flip-flops . . . or barefoot, even – Always, always, always. Sandals are for my mother and her crew of ineffectual and ultimately past-their-prime hippies. Hardback or E-reader – What’s this E-reader you speak of? It sounds complicated and unnecessary. There’s something about the feel of paper, the smell of a book, the weight of it in your hands. It doesn’t have to be hardback, though—paperback will do just fine. Pizza Parlor or Burger Joint – Depends on the … Continue reading

This or That with Richard from Second Hand Heart
We’ve been given the pleasure of participating in the SECOND HAND HEART blog tour hosted by Teen Book Scene We “sat” down with Richard and played a little ‘This or That’ Sunset or Sunrise Sunrise. It’s the hiker’s choice. It means the whole long day outdoors is ahead of you. It’s a beginning, not an ending. I like beginnings better than endings. Dessert before or after dinner After. It maintains my sense of order. I’m not a complete tight-ass, but I think my world clicks along better when I keep things in proper order. Dogs or Cats Dogs. Cats are…I … 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

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.

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
