Blog Tour Starts Tomorrow – To Love and To Cherish

My blog tourstarts tomorrow! I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I’ve never done the “blog tour thing” before. I’ve written four guest posts for the tour plus another one for the JMS Books blog, and answered quite a darned few interview questions for three different interview posts. Also scheduled are three spotlight posts, eight exclusive excerpt posts, and seven reviews.

There’ll be a few more (at least 6) reviews outside of the tour as well. There’sa giveaway (Rafflecopter) attached...

#RainbowSnippets November 5, 2016 – To Love and To Cherish

I’ve joined theRainbow Snippets group on Facebook. From their description: “Rainbow Snippets is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (no spoilers please!).” Pretty cool, eh?

Random Prompt Word Ficlet

I’m doing something different for my Flash Fiction Friday post this week. Instead of an image I’m going with randomly generated prompt words. I’m also not limiting myself to precisely 100 words.

Years and years ago when I first started writing, I published a few stories at Torquere Press. Back then we all had LiveJournal accounts, and the TQ authors could sign up to host the Torquere Social Community on LJ for a day to promote theirbooks. One of the things the authors would often do is put ou...

Coffee, Anyone?

No, thank you. I love the smell, but I’ve never acquired a taste for the stuff. I feel like a bit of an outsider with all the coffee memes I see on my Facebook feed every day.

My coffee aversion isn’t simply due to caffeine avoidance. I don’t drink decaf, either.I can deal with tea, but don’t particularly favor it. If I’m going to drink something hot, it’s going to be cocoa (complete with a hit of Reddi-Whip and chocolate syrup drizzle).

I also loathe colas (there’s a story behind that, I’ll...

What if…? Alternate Conclusions.

I enjoyed writing ’Til Death Do Us Part. The research was fun, as was coming up with various ideas for how to make certain things happen in the story.

Stuff had to happen to Henry on the island, and there were many possibilities from which to choose. Sam had to meet Nash, and there were options for that, too. I could have had a mutual friend set them up. Maybe they could have met at a social gathering. Nash could have been a fellow instructor at the university where Sam taught. I went with a...

NaNoWriMo? Not for me…NaNoWriNO!

NaNoWriMo? NaNoWriNO! I did it once, and that was enough for me. No, I didn’t make the goal. No, I’m not pouting about it because I “failed.”

My one attempt was Camp NaNoWriMo this past April. I was in the early stages of writingTo Love and To Cherish.Speed writing and cranking out a super crude first draft to be cleaned up once the whole thing is done is just not something I can force myself to do. I tried, I really did. If it had any effect at all it was to bring on a case of writer’s block...
