Spies, Murder, and Mystery
Happy Wednesday, Musers! I just got back from a little jaunt to Disney to celebrate my daughter's birthday. I'd share all the happy-go-lucky pictures, but there are none, as is evidenced by her refusal to smile in just about all of them. At least I don't have to worry about her entering the high-stress fields of acting or modeling.
Speaking of happy-go-lucky, I skipped over to Laura Pauling's blog today to celebrate her book launch and share my thoughts on Taking the Mystery out of Editing Those Pesky Subplots. Or, if you prefer: Biscuits and Subplots and Cake, Oh My! Every good spy needs an alias, so I figured my post should have one, too. Even though it has nothing to do with spies. And very little to do with cake.
Regardless, if you've got a sec, please stop by and congratulate Laura on her new release!

Random Acts of Kindness Wrap-Up
Wow.
And WOW, again.
Ange and I are completely blown away by the response to the #RAOKBlitz. When Angela started contacting sponsors about participating, we never dreamed they'd offer up so many awesome prizes. So thank you, Scrivener, Query Tracker, Critique Circle, AutoCrit, Writers Digest, Kristen Lamb, and Tracy Hickman, for making this a blitz to remember!
But we also want to thank all of YOU. It was nothing short of amazing, the way you all got behind this initiative and generated kindness across the web. We loved seeing so many of your friends--strangers to The Bookshelf Muse who knew nothing about our launch--post their own RAOK pages and prizes on their blogs. Seeing everyone so willing to honor others was truly beautiful to behold.
We're not gonna lie. We're kind of glad it's over, lol. But we're so incredibly glad to have done it and are thankful to everyone involved for making the blitz and our launch such a success! So THANK YOU!
Just a quick reminder, if you haven't gotten your copy, that the Emotion Amplifiers PDF is available for free download. This companion to The Emotion Thesaurus looks at 15 specific conditions (Pain, Hunger, Thirst, Attraction, Exhaustion, etc.) that can alter a character's physical and mental state. Just click the Free Download button in the sidebar for your complimentary copy!
And now...let's get back to normal. Well, somewhat normal. Ange and I are posting over at Rachael Harrie's blog today, talking about our somewhat bumpy self-publishing journey. Please pop over and say hi!
