Toolbox Tuesday – Fan Fiction

ThisToolbox Tuesday posts is for readers, writers, andeveryone in between because we are all readers. :)

In case you’ve never heard of fan fiction, I’ll let Merriam-Webster do the honors of defining it.

fan fiction

noun

1: stories involving popular fictional characters that are written by fans and often posted on the Internet —called also fanfic, \-ˈfik\

So why am I including fan fiction as a toolbox item? Several reasons.

As a reader, I find fan fiction very easy to fall into. I already l...

Torque – Charley Descoteaux

Today I’m very lucky to be interviewing Charley Descoteaux author of Torque.

Hi Charley, thank you for agreeing to this interview. Tell us a little about yourself, your background, and your current book.

When did you write your first story/book? How old were you?

I’ve always told stories, but the first time I remember writing one down I was in the 3rd or 4th grade. I hid the pages in my music folder, between the sheet music.

Are you a plotter or pantser?

100% pantser! I’ve tried to plot thing...

Toolbox Tuesday – Markers

As an author I sign books. Since most of my books are sold as ebooks, this happens only a few times a year when I’m a events like Gay Rom Lit or various pride celebrations in my neck of the woods.

If you’ve had an author sign a book for you, it’s often with these results on the following page. Bleed through.

A lot of authors use Sharpie markers to sign. These markers write in nearly every surface, so they are a must, especially if signing glossy paper or photos, but when you put a Sharpie to...

If you haven’t pickedFarm Fresh up yet, what are you waiting for? I know this isn’t a story for everyone, but it might open your mind and stick with you for days or weeks.

That’s what I’m known for, books that stick; or at least that’s what readers have told me. My books make you think.

Too bad it’s not him.

Too bad Nick’s not going down without a figh...

Toolbox Tuesday- PicMonkey

As a creative person, I’ve had the opportunity to play with a lot of tools. Some are more like toys to me because they’re so much fun I get lost in the process of making something. I hope this will become a new column on my blog.

Since I first self-published last summer, I’ve added a lot more tools to my toolbox. Manyof those were added out of necessity or because I wanted to be thrifty rather than hiring a graphic designer to create promo images or the like.

I’ve learned a lot in the last ye...
