Announcement!
I don’t think I told the blogverse yet what my plans are. I announced it on Twitter and Facebook earlier this week, but…Okay, no more dawdling.
In a Pickle is going to come out in print! It will still be on sale in e-book via MuseItUp, but I will be self-publishing it on paper hopefully before the year is out. The print version will only be available from Amazon…and from me in person.
Anyway, there is other news as well, but I’ll save that for another time

Tea and Book Pairings
THE NIGHT CIRCUS could be paired with a caramel-flavored tea (perhaps Tazo’s vanilla caramel chai for a bit of a kick.) A good combination for a cool, crisp evening, both book and tea evoke a sense of richness and well-being.
A STUDY IN CHARLOTTE would go nicely with a cuppa English breakfast. Both are a nice American/English crossover, and can be enjoyed no matter what side of the pond you’re on.
IN A PICKLE would go well with a cup of Red Velvet Chocolate tea by The Republic of Tea. The cho...

Pens on the Page
There is nothing quite like curling up with a good book, a cup of hot tea, and a purring kitty. Of course, the cat will inevitably start biting your petting hand, you’ll spill some tea on yourself, and someone will start talking to you.

I want to write books that cause that look, the look that says “Really? You interrupted my book for that?!” I want to create a world so interesting that the reader loses themselves and their worries in it.
Which means I need to study my craft by reading books...

New Look
Hi!
It’s around 4:50 in the morning on Thursday, and I am awake. When I’m awake at times like these, I internet (yes, I just made that a verb. Deal with it.) Well, I was looking at my blog, and though I liked the colors, it didn’t look as crisp and organized as I want. That’s why I changed it to look like my S.M. Tinker blog.
I hope this makes things more accessible and appealing to people.
Cheerio!
Keep your pen on the page,

Juggling Flaming Sticks
I’m still trying to figure out writing as a career. It’s one thing to do it as a hobby, but a totally different animal to try to make a living out of it (you may thank me now, fans of the obvious.) Not that I’m trying to make a living from it. Yet. Here are some of my thoughts…
WRITE MORE. PUBLISH MORE. REPEAT OFTEN.
It’s one thing to talk about writing. I need to actually produce.
Write fiction every day, whether I feel like it or not Try different avenues (non-fiction, audio, and so forth)...July 14, 2017
Monday Disguised as Friday
Today has not been the best day in the Bethverse. I won’t go into details, but it feels like a Monday. And I know how you all hate Mondays. *insert collective groan here*
Here’s a lame-butt attempt at a drawing to cheer us all up:

Yeah. Nothing done for Camp NaNowriMo. But I did manage to get some more lyric-age approved for sale on Songbay. Here’s my profile: S.M. Tinker. Oh, and I edited a little, so win?

Sing a Song of Sixpence…
Soooo…
Both of my lyrics made it through evaluations and are now available for sale on the Songbay website. Woot! Here’s a link to my profile: Beth’s Profile.
Other news? Well, In a Pickle is still 99 cents on Amazon…
Other, other news? I heard from a developmental editor for one of the anthologies I’m part of. Waiting for her to send me edits *bites nails*
Life has been kind of slow and distracted and weird, and that’s okay. I just don’t want it to stay this way, you know?
Anyway, hope you’r...
