October Contest!

Hello everyone!

I wanted to let you know about my latest giveaway.  You could win a $25 gift card in my “October Chills & Thrills Contest” at Fresh Fiction.

It’s already October! While it should have some chills, that’s certainly not the case here in Texas. But it’s a great month, especially with the State Fair and Halloween chocolate. As for the thrills, how about a $25 gift card from the retailer of your choice to provide some tingles!

Be sure and enter to win. Good luck!

Friday News — September 26, 2014

Hello all,

Happy Friday! I hope you have some fun weekend plans.

I posted a “Fun Friday Snippet” from one of my books on Facebook. Drop by and see if you can guess which book it’s from.

I also want to remind everyone about my September contest at Fresh Fiction. I’m giving away a $25 gift card (winner’s choice). The contest runs through September 30. There’s only a few more days, so come by and enter.

Touched by Fire, book two in my romantic urban fantasy Sentinel series, is still only 99¢. This also ends September 30, so if you’d like to read about sexy, superhuman, Harley-riding Luke Paxton, here’s your chance to do so at a bargain price.

If you’re a writer, be sure and check out my Tuesday writing tips on my website here.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Weekly Writing Tip

Hello everyone!

I hope your summer is going well, and that you have a safe and happy July 4th.

Here is the Weekly Writing Tip: Read, read, read! Read a lot in the genre you’re writing. Also, read outside your genre. Reading good writing is a great way to absorb nuances of the craft. Your subconscious will automatically pick up on the ebb and flow of strong writing and good characterizations and process it and feed it back in your own writing.

Also, I’ll have a post tomorrow with some exciting news about the release of Shamara, so stay tuned.

Tuesday Writing Tip for June 10

Happy Tuesday!

I hope your June is going well. Today I’m sharing another writing tip:

The The Mental Battle, Number 2: It doesn’t matter where you are in the writing process whenever you read articles or listen to lectures on writing. Each time you’re exposed to information on writing, you gain a deeper level of understanding. The craft of writing is like an onion—it has many layers and a lot of depth. Trust that you’re absorbing information you need, even if it’s more on a subconscious level. (I’ll talk more about the “subconscious writer” in future posts).

I’ll have a new writing tip next Tuesday. A newsletter is coming soon with contest information and news about the upcoming release of Shamara, the third book in the Shielder Series. If you haven’t signed up for my newsletter, here’s your chance!

Happy writing (and reading)!
