Prep Monday���Starting Over

That offer we were making a week or so ago? Well, yeah. We had a couple questions and were waiting on the listing agent to get back to our agent. She finally did, only to tell her that the seller had accepted another offer. Figures. I���d like to say, and I will, that when the […]

Fan Friday���Getting to Know Me

Rather than ���interviewing myself,��� whatever that is, I���m going to answer ten questions. Things you may not know about me, and maybe you don���t want to know . . . ��Just kidding, these are pretty innocuous: Favorite color: Green. Second favorite color: Blue. Third favorite: Yellow. I don���t know why I have three, I just […]

Write or Wrong Part 2: Where author Robin Tidwell procrastinates and practices taking selfies…

Originally posted on The Lone Writer: Shannon Yarbrough:
This week I’m happy to share a guest post from author and publisher Robin Tidwell. I first met Robin on opening day of All On The Same Page Bookstore, a store she and her husband owned and ran for about two years. Robin and I started a…

Writer Wednesday—How Much is Too Much?

I’m talking about posting on social media, of course. I know a lot of authors who are afraid to post anything remotely resembling “buy my book,” thanks to well-meaning book advisors. I really think these gurus are talking about the obnoxious posts, though. I don’t equate a buy link, which may or may not also […]

Prep Monday—Fitness

Are you in shape? No, in this case, “round” is not a shape! Did you make that resolution, the one you make every year? Yes, that one! I did not. I have; in fact, I found Word docs from 2005 and 2009 that detailed that whole “get in shape” thing. Ugh. Obviously, I wasn’t successful. […]

Fan Friday—And Then It Continued

Naturally, the first thing I did after finishing REDUCED was to send it to a few beta readers. I also queried half a dozen agents. And heard zip. So, after making a few tweaks as per my readers’ suggestions, I simply published the book. I really had no plan. I wrote it, yay, I wrote […]

Writer Wednesday—Rocking Horse Publishing

I wanted to take a moment here and let you all know what RHP has in store for readers in 2015: First up, Katie Lea Yates’ The Prior, sequel to this year’s The Provider. We kind of left everyone hanging, so here’s your chance to find out what happened to Kenzie—and David. Or Kenzie-and-David. You […]

Prep Monday—Clients and Agents

Good grief. Realtors are nuts—apologies to those I know. I’ve seen so many listings with either no pictures, pictures of neighboring property, or artistic pictures which look pretty but tell you nothing. Also, if a realtor doesn’t give an address, it’s really flippin’ hard to find on Google or wherever. And clients. Sheesh. We made […]
