A few snapshots from the RT Booklovers convention this week– what an incredible (and overwhelming!) experience! As an indie author it’s incredibly hard to get yourself and your book out there but conventions are part of all of the the publicity shenanigans. Books were given away! Gift baskets! Pins! There was a bisexual pride colored “I ROMANCE” pin that was particularly popular.

I have a habit of falling in love with my side characters which detracts from my main protagonist. I've even elevated some of my side characters to minor-main characters(characters that are usually around the protagonist and contribute quite heavily to the
You know… a lot of people would argue that you should push your side character into the main character role to solve this problem. For me personally, I reject this advice because… I feel when I make my characters, they already slot perfectly into the roles I wanted them to be in.

Dear DreamWorks Studios,
As moviegoers and fans of the original 1995 Ghost in the Shell film, we respectfully request that you cast an actress of Japanese descent for the lead role of Motoko Kusanagi rather than Scarlett Johansson.
