Run, don’t walk to get your First 10k Readers… (Or, How I set up my Author Platform à la Nick Stephenson)

Okay, I rarely say things like this, but I have a huge marketing crush on Nick Stephenson. Why? Well, first a little back story… Shortly after I finished writing my first book (pictured right) I realized I needed to build an author platform. Basically, I needed to build an email list of people who enjoy … Continue reading "Run, don’t walk to get your First 10k Readers… (Or, How I set up my Author Platform à la Nick Stephenson)"

Guest Posting. An Opportunity for New Authors

Exactly a week ago, Chris the Story Reading Ape featured my author bio on his blog. A fellow blogger, writer and aspiring author pointed me in his direction and suggested I consider guest posting to Chris Graham’s Authors Hall of Fame. “But I haven’t published fiction yet,” I meekly responded, focused on the word “story” in his website’s tagline … Continue reading "Guest Posting.

It feels like only yesterday when we had C.S. Wilde on LivinginCyn.com. At the time, she was wrapping up edits on her debut novel, A Courtroom of Ashes, and now here it is! (Actually, her book has been out since April 2016, but with all that’s been happening over the past few weeks, I have … Continue reading "A Courtroom of Ashes by C.S. Wilde"

Linda Gray Sexton: Writing never felt like a hobby or an assignment (e-interview)

Landing Linda Gray Sexton for this interview was a complete accident. If I hadn’t flubbed, I probably wouldn’t have dared reach out to her. You see, I was careless. I stumbled on her Twitter profile (@LindaGraySexton), noticed that she had recently published a book, Bespotted (read more on that in the interview), and thought, “Voilà! … Continue reading "Linda Gray Sexton: Writing never felt like a hobby or an assignment (e-interview)"

Joel: There’s so much… (The Swiss Affair, by Emylia Hall) #TWHST

I warned you last week that I would be drawing a #TWSHT from The Swiss Affair by Emylia Hall once more. Well, here it is. This quote happened to be delivered by the protagonist’s main love interest. The one Hadley Dunn is really into. Everything is mildly off about this man–but all Hadley can see is … Continue reading "Joel: There’s so much… (The Swiss Affair, by Emylia Hall) #TWHST"
