Emily Ryan-Davis Guest Blog - My Words, Someone Else's Voice

Hi Everyone, guest blog today with Emily Ryan-Davis. Emily, take it away!

 
Hello Nicole's Readers! I'm visiting this week to talk about one of my Writing Firsts: hearing someone else's voice speaking my words.

At the end of August, AudioMinx released my first audio book MATING CALL. MATING CALL is more than my first audio book; it's also my first published thing in general. I learned a great deal while writing MATING CALL; most important, I learned how to showcase my voice.

Those of you...

Update on my contest

I'll announce the winners on Thursday.

What's that? You want to know the other prizes? Well, I'm gonna be a tease and ...

New Feature - Picture Prompts

I've decided to start a new feature on my blog. Every Monday, I'm going to post a picture and if you're stuck, maybe it'll inspire you. I hope I love to look at pictures for inspiration. Since I love fantasy and everything it entails, I'll probably post a lot of pictures that lean itself more readily to that genre, but I promise to throw in other kinds of pictures too. So here's the first picture:

Author Interview with Jennifer Hartz

Everyone, please join me in welcoming fellow Desert Breeze author Jenn Hartz to my blogging stage. Jenn's here to talk to her about her debut novel.

Jennifer: Hey Nicole! Thanks so much for having me on your blog. The Future Savior Series is the byproduct of a ridiculously long commute. I have an hour and a half drive… one-way. ...

Best Birthday Present ever! and Contest reminder

So hubby got me the best birthday present ever for a writer/reader - a Nook! I'm thrilled and have downloaded several free reads. I can't wait to order a cover and light for it.
