Fan Art: Novels that Inspire Artists
Recently, I heard a statistic that surprised me. The speaker said that from 5% to 25% of fiction readers draw/paint/sketch pictures of the characters and/or scenes from the books they read and love. Really? So many? That fascinates me.
Curious, I asked on my Facebook Page if there were any fans of my books who illustrate character or scenes from my books. Granted, Facebook showed that post to only 6% of those who follow my Page, but I did hear from one gal—Wendy Lyson—who was kind enough to se...

No “Right” Way to Write a Novel
I had anew book release in May (The Heart’s Pursuit), and I’ll have another one releasing next week (Four Weddings and a Kiss).
Because of these new releases, for weeksI’ve been answering lots of questions about my books and about writing, both in written form and in radio interviews (live and taped). Since I’m an extravert, I love lots of interaction with people. However, the marketing part of being a novelist is a huge time drain. I have watched it steal hours and hours from just about every...
