Stop #2: Samantha March

SM: "How important do you think social media is for authors these days?"
JG: "Very important, especially with e-books. People can download a book with one easy click. Information on the book and authors should be just as accessible. Facebook, Twitter, blogs, websites, readers either have these accounts or are following people with these accounts, so it is important you are part of that and are accessible. Word of mouth and 'word of link, click, and websites' are how people are going to find ou...

Stop #1 & #2: Change the Word

CTW:How do you keep yourself motivated to write?
JG:The story itself keeps me going. Writing is actually a lot like reading a book, you want to find out what happens next. In order to do so, you must write it!

I had a great time at Change the Word. A big thanks to Laura Chapman for hosting me!

Check out more Q & A here. Hopefully you can join me on tour through February 11 or at least check out some of the stops. :)

Thanks for reading the book! And if you haven't read it yet, the Walsh family ca...

Authors

Happy almost Halloween! I think this blog post is good timing with the idea of dressing up in costume. Often times when I read fiction, I wonder how much of the book involved someone or something the author has known or experienced.
I am guilty of reading the author's biography and trying to dissect what intersections cross with the author's real life and the written word. As an author, I can't help but wonder if readers do the same with my books. Especially when my books take place in D.C. an...

All About the Readers

Hello! This is a post dedicated to all readers, especially readers of women's fiction and chick lit. Authors wouldn't be able to write books in these amazing genres without the strength of dedicated readers.

As a writer, it is SO important to me that readers really enjoy my books. When I write, I too, get so invested in my characters and what they are about: their personalities, likes, emotions, drama. And if my readers are on board with them, it makes all the difference. It is one thing for m...

In-Laws

In-laws...So much to say so little space!

One of the things I love about Becoming Mrs. Walsh is how it centers on in-laws and more specifically on the relationship between Shoshana and her sisters-in-law.

Shoshana finds herself in a world of wealth and glamour. One particular scene that people felt for Shoshana was when the girls had endless funds to spend and Shoshana was too embarrassed that she couldn't afford a dress, a dress they were all pressuring her to buy.

The whole shopping experience...
