Holy Smokes – bad blogger!

This can’t be right… over TWO YEARS since I last entered anything here? Yikes!

What has been missed in that time? Quite a bit, I assume… probably too much to catch up on. But two big events – I’ve pulled a lot of my books from Dreamspinner and have republished them under my own name (so if you’re following old links, sorry… they’re probably taking you to the wrong place…) and… I’ve had a few new bo

Kate Sherwood and 6 other people liked Lisa's review of Witches Get Stuff Done (Starfall, #1): "While there's some funny bits in this audiobook I was barely able to finish it. So much of it was downright cringy and the plot was not very interesting. Luckily you can do the dishes and walk your dog during audiobooks."

I like parts of this, but overall it just felt really low-stakes to me. The two main characters have decided to look for their mom, so they look for their mom. There's no real suspense, no real danger, no sense of urgency. I guess maybe it's a questi ...more

Our Mission Statement : Just what is WRR 2013? That’s quite simple to answer. It stands for ‘Writers, Romance, & Rainbows – A GBLT book fair for tho Our Mission Statement : Just what is WRR 2013? That’s quite simple to answer. It stands for ‘Writers, Romance, & Rainbows – A GBLT book fair for those in the GBLT Romance genre’. The explanation for that, however, is a bit more extensive. With all the different cons and such happening through the year, only a few were geared toward those in the GBLT romance genre. Not surprising since this genre is still up and coming. It has made great strides, but sadly, still not as popular as the het romances as far as being mainstream goes. It hasn’t stopped us though. The books are still getting out there and the authors are still writing them. Unfortunately, these cons can only allow so many authors to attend. Then there is the price of registration. Flights, hotels, and other miscellany are added as well. All totaled up, attending one of these events can set an author back thousands. And for a newbie or even a mid-author, sometimes that price is just too much to pay. Especially if you’re relegated to a lesser role than what you expected. And what of the other’s that are involved in the writing process? The pubs, editors, cover artists, photographers, reviewers, readers, and fans? What about them? Don’t they have a right to be a part of these events as well? So far, these events are for the pubs, authors, fans, and readers. But what if there was an event that could encompass everyone involved in the writing process? That could bring all these people under one roof to talk, meet, promo, and sell their work? That question had plagued Deborah and I for many months. Both of us had attended events, but none were geared for everyone. Then the wonderful guys at Bent-con invited us to share our media with their media in a conflagration of GBLT fireworks. Both of us jumped at the chance. What better place to have everyone involved in the writing process sharing knowledge, disparate experience, and their wares to those who will appreciate it. It was a win/win for everyone. ...more
