For them, freewill is a luxury . . .

Don’t Let Querying Kill Your Muse
Query Letters
Let’s talk honestly about querying . . .
Anyone who has ever queried an agent or publisher can tell you it is very, very, very hard work, and—for most of us—also very disheartening. The time-consuming, difficult process involves:
Researching the right agents for your novel
Reading the submission guidelines at every agency
Crafting a personalized letter for each agent
Keeping track of the agents who you’ve queried
Waiting, waiting, waiting . . . and waiting
Deal with rejection
Repeat (unl...

Best Casting For a Book Character
If you’re a bibliophile like me, you probably get very excited when your favorite books make it to the big screen. I know I do, and when they come out, I’m the first one hauling my butt to the theater and dragging whoever else will go with me As a reader, I fall in love with the story, but—more than anything—I fall in love with the characters. I have my favorite heroes and even my favorite villains. I love them and I hate them! And when the film versions are announced, I twist myself into a...

The Stars Lie
Yep, those Amazon and Goodreads review stars don’t tell the whole truth!
I hate to say it, but several of the books I read last year were awful. This gets me upset. If I invest my most precious commodity—a.k.a. time—in reading a book, Iwantneedit to be good—or possibly GREAT!Unreasonable?
No! It’s like going to the movies. If you pay $10 for a ticket, you’d be outraged if in the first 20 minutes they have the characters getting up, taking a shower, getting dressed, cooking breakfast, eating sai...

My Goals for 2014
Happy 2014!
A new year is here, and I’m doing what I always do: Setting goals!
The different is: this year I will keep track of my goals here. Last year, I set several goals, which I proudly accomplished. Except, I can’t prove I was a good girl and did everything I set out to do, namely writing two novels and getting them published *pats herself on the back* SLAM DUNK!
Now, for 2014, my goals are loftier, a true challenge from what I’ve done in the past, so to keep myself honest and share my p...
