Publishing Aftermath

By Ava Cuvay

The last time I blogged here, I had just released my third book: “Blood King.” Release days are always exciting for an author. All the countless hours of writing, rewriting, editing, worrying, and fretting finally come to an end and we send our baby out into the world as perfect as we can make it, and hope that our readers love it as much as we do.

But what do we do after that enormous Ta-Da!? While I can’t speak for other authors, I know I’ve been doing something very important:...

A Little Of This...

by Margie Senechal

I hate waking up with a headache. Especially when I'm supposed to blog and my head is like, "I don't think so. You've got nothing." So, for today, another infamous hodge-podge post from me.

 Is anyone else a little concerned as to how connected our devices are? I got on my computer to write this to find out I'd been signed out of Google (thank you, darling KB) and when I went to sign on, my phone asked me if I was trying to sign on to another device. And then I had to f...

Giving Thanks ~ @AuthorKristina

Wow, it feels a little weird being here on a Tuesday. Weird but fun, and like Liz said last week, a little bit renewing. I'm looking forward to this blog change we're doing. Which brings me to the actual blog part of this post.

bebe started 5th grade this year, after a lot of back-and-forth between RadioMan and I about possibly homeschooling her. She had a couple of...we'll just call them moments in 3rd grade and then a bigger incident last year that made our knee-jerk reaction be to pull her...

About renewal

Frosty fall morning
I will probably never leave Indiana--for long. We may find a warmer place we can both live with to spend a few winter months, and I am perfectly willing to travel at least a dozen times a year (Duane thinks that's eleven and a half too many), but when it comes down to it, my home is always going to be a place with four sharply defined seasons. It wouldn't have to be Indiana, but hey, we're here. 
The reasons I want these changes is because, at the risk of sounding hopel...

Shameless Self-Promotion

I should have something absolutely brilliant to say about writing today, but my mind and heart are overflowing with excitement over the imminent release of my first novel with Tule Publishing, so you're getting a full-on commercial instead. Here's all the scoop on A Small Town Christmas , the first book in the Four Irish Brothers Winery series. The book releases on October 29 and is available for pre-order right now, so if you love a fun holiday romance, scoot on over and click!

Sprucing Things up at the Ole Word Wranglers Corral by @JanaRichards_

Our techo-genius Kristina Knight is responsible for keeping us looking our best and we are very grateful. Especially me, since I have neither a tech-savvy or artistic bone in my body. Thanks for keeping us in shape, Kristi!

But that’s not all the changes we have in store. If you’ve been with us a while, you probably remember when we blogged six times a week. Actually,...

Werewolves and Vampires and Hairstylists... Oh, My!

by Ava Cuvay

Today is a "Two-fer" New Release Announcement: Not-your-average werewolves and vampires… Just in time for Halloween!
The first New Release is by my writer pal Melanie Jayne (writing as M. Jayne).  With “See Me,” she’s stepped away from Mature Contemporary to finally realize a paranormal werewolf story that had been bubbling in her brain for several years. The result is hot and fierce! Trust me, these aren’t your Grandma’s werewolves! They’re more alpha, more ruthless, a...

The Sagging Swamp

 by Margie Senechal


You're getting a rare treat today, the Thursday blog.

I was supposed to blog yesterday. I knew all last week that it was coming up. I was reminded on Sunday by Kristi that it was coming up. I remembered Monday and Tuesday. And then, I forgot on Wednesday until late afternoon when I was baking chocolate chip cookies (because I saw The Clock in the Wall on Tuesday and was compelled to bake).

So, here we go.

I want to talk muddy middles and no, we're not talking my waistline...
