Shiloh Walker's Blog, page 191

I've mentioned a surprise

There is one, maybe two, coming in July.

And I'm not supposed to post this.  But I'm going to take a page from Jeaniene Frost's book-she didn't post all of her cover… so…um. Well, they tell me I can't post the cover.

Nobody ever told me I can't post a tiny peek of it.

Shhhhh

The Missing…Random Snippets

The Missing releases in mass market on July 6th…

Now it's already out in trade, still available in a few places, although if you wait until it releases in paperback on 7/6/10, it would mean lots and lots to me.

I'm going to be posting some excerpts between now and the end of the month. If you haven't read it yet, maybe you'll decide to check it out when the book hits the shelves in July.

And…if you haven't seen it, do you know about the contest?

LOVE LOST

As a teenager, Taige Branch was able to...

Do not ask. Please.

For the most part, when writers get asked questions, they are related to the books, the characters, and that sort of thing.  It's not very often that I get asked questions that leave me feeling uncomfortable or offended, but sometimes it does happen.

As some of these have happening fairly recently, either in email, on twitter, blogs, or in person via signings.  There are some questions that writers get asked that just shouldn't be asked.  Not unless you're a very close, personal friend...

Books I Need…

By Jeaniene Frost

This one comes out on my anniversary.  And while we're at Nationals.  And…um…when in the hell am I supposed to read it?  Can't I have it now?  I'm good for pimping.  REALLY.  Just ask the next author… she'll tell you.  Or ask all the people who I recommend her stuff to.

I'm suffering here.  I want this book so bad, it's not even funny.  Actually PBW probably DOES think it's funny.  I think she likes to torment me.  I think she even put up...

My publishing story…

I've been asked a few times on twitter how I got published.  It's a convoluted sort of story and it started with a rejection letter.

I've written most of my life… literally.  I'm 33 now, turning 34 later this summer and I know I've been writing since the 6th grade, probably earlier than that, and my mom says it was definitely earlier than that.

Pretty much since high school, I knew I wanted to write when I grew up, although even then, I was realistic and I knew it ...

Thursday Tips…and Then What?

Thursday tips are geared to the newly published/newly contracted writer.

Then What?

You've signed the contract, with or without an agent—whichever you decided was the best for your chosen career path.

What happens next?

Well, hopefully, you're already working on the next book.  There is always the next book, you know.  Actually, when it comes to publishing, a writer tends to be working on three or more books at any one time—not writing them, exactly, but we are working on promo for whatever is...

Never As It Seems…now available in ebook

Three years after he walked away from her and broke her heart, Leo is back in Chloe's life and that's the last place she wants him.

Not that she has any choice in the matter.

She's in big trouble.

She needs somebody to watch her back and he's the "somebody".

"Go to hell," she said softly. Turning on her heel, she stormed away from him. He followed, but she...

The Friday 56

*G*

You all just might kill me for this one… fortunately, it's not from a terribly interesting scene in the book.  This is from my current WIP, If You See Her, book 2 in my RS trilogy.

He pulled out his phone and went to make a few notes and realized that Dwight was staring at him.

Lifting a brow, he said, "Yes?"

let's do it again…Magic Bleeds

Because apparently, even though my blog isn't located on my website, Ilona can't resist trying to crash my server, she has offered me more copies of MAGIC BLEEDS.

Magic Bleeds

Atlanta would be a nice place to live, if it weren't for the magic. When the magic is up, rogue mages cast their spells and monsters appear, while guns refuse to fire and cars fail to start. But then technology returns, and the magic recedes as unpredictably as it rose.
