One of the main issues with being a writer is it can be a lonely job: so I was delighted when fellow author Caroline Green invited me to join the Strictly Writing online collective, and I'm looking forward to sharing tales of triumph and tribulations with the other writers involved.

I'm a huge fan of blogging, and a keen blogger myself, but in my latest post for Strictly Writing, I look at whether getting the blogging habit is always a good thing for would-be writers...

I'm delighted to be able to host a guest post by vampire lover and author Rebeka Harrington, who explains the eternal fascination with vampires and why she has chosen to write about them. Do check it out, and find her on Goodreads.

I've been doing a lot to promote Dark Dates, lately, and while it's been fun, it's also time consuming and a lot of hard work! Here's a round up of some of the coverage I've had, with some tips on maximising PR...

There's been a lot of negative stories on Goodreads lately about authors behaving badly, and reacting unprofessionally to negative reviews. As an author I've had my share of bad reviews over the years, and while it can, of course, be hurtful, I think the only response is to accept them and move on: it's never acceptable to turn that into a personal attack. If you can't accept that not everyone will like your work, you shouldn't be putting it into the public arena.

With that in mind, as a blogger myself, I've put together some tips on dealing with book bloggers. I'm also including a link to Caroline Goldsmith's blog, to get a industry perspective on it. I'd love to hear any bloggers' views.

Anyone who reads my Geek Goddess blog will know I love crafts, and try when I can to support indie crafters through Folksy and Etsy. So I was chuffed to bits when lovely craft site, and friend, Stellar My Star did this Dark Dates themed post, pulling items from across the sites together. Needless to say, I want to buy all of then, especially the Jezebel charms! http://stellamystar.wordpress.com/201...

Anyone who reads any of my blogs will realise that I am a stationery obsessive who writes all of my fiction longhand in notebooks. You can read more about this - and boggle at photos of my collection - over at Strictly Writing...
