Seasonal Changes and Mid-Year Review

Happy August everyone! This year is flying by, so let's get to it.

New blog post is up about changes and updates. A cover reveal for my upcoming book (those who subscribe to my newsletter saw it first), a link to my pen on Instagram and....

….Exciting plans for new things! Going to do some videos on the books in my series just before the new book is released. Get to know the characters, chat about where they stories came from and all things "Evening Bower."

Then, read about a chance to be published in my Vampire Vignettes book next year. If you've read the books in my series and you're a fan, you may want to try your hand at some fan fiction! More info coming.

Here's to a good end to summer and hello to soups and sweaters pumpkins and hauntings!
I can hardly wait.

Thanks for reading.
I remain, Yours Between the Lines,
Sherry

Novels Need An Oral Exam

Hello and happy Monday -- this is the end of the month already! Where has the time gone.

This week's blog post is about the Oral Review your novel needs and the one you probably aren't doing because it's too much trouble or takes too much time or are too lazy or don't figure you need it. Oops. Might want to rethink that!
http://www.sherryrentschler.com/novel...

My pen this week on Instagram is a Whistle! That's right. Pop over and give a look (only two or three more before the year-long series ends!)

Lost Gems of Character Development

Happy June, everyone!

Hard to believe that we've hit the midmonth of 2018. Where has the time gone? I hope it zipped by while you were reading or writing, yes?

I've opened this month with a blog post on Character Development and a little used technique to enrich your character profiles.
https://tinyurl.com/yclpqo34

Plus, today's #pinyourpen on Instagram is a pirate pen for Pirate Day Friday 2018 for Jun 9, a day celebrated in Australia to fight children's brain cancer. Check me out at @thepoetphoenix.

Finally, I didn't have a live Facebook chat in May because it was too close to Memorial Day and other events, so I'm saving it all up for June. Stay tuned!

Thanks for listening,
Yours Between the Lines,
Sherry
