One of my favorite things about being a writer and an editor is going to writing conferences. I love spending the day with other readers, writers, and editors and talking about all things books. I love learning new techniques and tricks from everyone making the writing journey. I always seem to come away refreshed and renewed–even though conferences are a lot of work. Here are two of the confer...

| Tightly written and beautifully paced. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel! Myra is a smart and relatable character, and I loved watching her grow and change and evolve throughout the course of the story. And while I enjoyed Kristen's first book--Wolves,...more | |

| I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Beautiful, lyrical writing. Joy has a strong voice, and I loved taking the journey with her as she explored her relationships--old and new. Excellent! | |

| Very creative idea. Callie had a strong voice as the main character, but I felt the ending was rushed. | |

“I'm not who you think I am, Abby," he said in English.
I almost smiled. It was the kind of melodramatic line people said in bad made-for-TV movies, but then I saw his eyes, bleak and distant, and I knew he was telling the truth.
"I thought you were Dante Alexander, foreign-exchange student visiting from Italy."
He shook his head slowly, sadly. "Not exactly.”

Thanks for friending me! I was in Rick Walton's class this semester and it was awesome to hear from you and all of the other authors who came.
Thanks for friending me back Lisa! I am so glad I meet you at the ANWA confference, you pushed me to really start writing and to finish Winged Warrior and now I have writing more than 20 pages(hand writen) and going on! I am so exicted about writing
Thanks for accepting the friend request! As Shannon said I also enjoyed your books. They are (I'm not kidding one bit) the only books that have ever made me want to cry they were that good. Best books I've ever read (and I'm a really picky reader, so that's saying something). :D
Thank you for friending me! I really enjoyed the Hourglass Door series. How great to have a place like Goodreads where you can have direct feedback from your readers! :)
Lisa, Thanks for adding me. I just finished your fist book and really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing your talent.

Hey Lisa, congrats on the Book of the Year!!! I just saw the article on KSL.com and I may or may not have shrieked and jumped up and down and yelled "I know her! I love that book!"
THE GOLDEN SPIRAL showed up on my doorstep today! There's nothing like a new, glossy hardback coming in the mail :) The cover design is so lovely, and I can't wait to read it! Congratulations on the release!
I just finished The Hourglass Door this morning, and I loved it! I'm going to have a review up soon, telling people how good of a book it is, and I've already started spreading the word among my bookfriends. I can't wait until next year for the sequel-- I love Dante, and I want to read the rest of their story. I'm glad that you finally accomplished your life-long dream of writing-- you do a great job at it, in my honest opinion. I'm glad that more Utah authors (which is also where I live!) are becoming published and recognized. Utah's been the butt of too many jokes from the rest of the US.
Anyway, keep up the great work, Lisa, and I hope you enjoy your weekend.
Best,
Danielle/TBQ
