Reading, Writing, and Blogging

  I read an article through a writing platform, that tells me that to be successful in what you do, you need to have an Internet Presence. I was shocked by this. It is so strange to me that the Internet has become the only means of publication/communication, that requires you to have a presence in the world. I have several different accounts, via social media, this blog, and a page for my novel. I am not the most interesting person in the world, but I have at least managed to create a pretty good profile online. However, I can't see myself posting something every day. To me -  that just seems like it is too much. But as they say, write what you know... So, here we go... As of late, my recent WIP is based on an erotic thriller, a murder mystery novel. I am really taking my time with it because I want it to be something that people want to publish. I hear many nightmares about people/authors getting rejection letters and how much that stings. I have not received one, but I can o...

The Mindful Journey  

  I am currently reading the Throne of the Fallen by Kerri Maniscalco. I have read all of the books that she has published to this point. Kerri Maniscalco is a very talented writer. I really enjoy reading her novels.  I am roughly ten chapters into this book. The novel is set up like many of her others. Each chapter is associated with a characters point of view. This tactic seems to be a favorite of hers, as this is the situation with many of her novels. Both of the main characters are evident in her Kingdom series. Yet, so far in this novel they are telling an entire different story and plot.  This novel is slated as a spicy, romance, fantasy novel and an adult version of her stories. Romance is really not my favorite genre, but it does posses many aspects of fantasy that are of interest to me.  In the story, the antagonist is a "fay" and the protagonist is the "the son of the devil" in addition to other characters that relate to vampire, wolf, etc. Does this kind ...

Research  Doing research for my upcoming book has been interesting. I had made the decision to start a "Diary" book, based on an important life event. The books I started to read have been based on a "diary" of sorts. It is interesting how many of these types of book are out there. The first one I read was a children's book. I got it free from work. It is called Dear Dumb Diary, Lets Pretend this Never Happened." This book is written by Jamie Kelly. The book is less than 100 pages.  It was interesting to see the lives of Middle School kids in a book, actually reflect on today's society. However, I do think that some stories are a little far fetched. I did appreciate how the story maintained an interest piece. With each diary entry, the main character, maintained an interest piece that kept the reader wanting to read.  The pictures that accompany each diary entry also were an attention grabber. This book would be highly recommended for any girl in 5th gr...
