Wow! It has been a LONG time since I posted anything here. So, to those of you who have been around, get ready for something new. For those of you just finding this place, get ready for something fun and inspiring.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Several years ago, when I decided I could write a book, I realized I had absolutely NO idea what I was doing. Fast forward to the present and I still can't claim to be a professional on anything, but I do know a lot about a lot. What I don't know, I do know where to send you to find out. So (and you'll discover that 'so' is my favorite filler word), the plan is to share, inspire and amuse...essentially, to get your head in a space to create your masterpiece.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<ul>
<li>Inspirational quotes to encourage your writer's heart</li>
<li>Blog Features with links to some of the best writerly blogs on the net</li>
<li>Samples of my own writing, and maybe a few of yours, most that haven't been released to the public before<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">Something a Little New...</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Welcome to Dream Weaver Novels on Blogger! Normally, readers here get to read about a new author I've discovered, but this week I'm changing things up a bit and participating in a Release Blitz for John Paul Bernett's novel Atkinson's Apprentice sponsored by FaeBooks in the UK! So strap yourself in for the ride as I introduce...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Today <a href="http://faebooks.co.uk/">FaeBooks.co.uk</a> is launching this NEW RELEASE blitz on behalf of author <a href="http://amzn.to/1EeBSi9" target="_blank">John Paul Bernett</a>, whilst Mr Bernett launches his latest book IN-STORE at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/whitbybookshop" target="_blank">Whitby Book Shop</a> during <a href="https://www.facebook.com/whitbygothweekend?fref=ts" target="_blank">Whitby Goth Weekend</a> in England, UK!</span></span><br />

<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Introducing the very new indeed, </span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Atkinson's Apprentice (#4 The Reaper Series)</span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">By John Paul Bernett</span></i></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RjEAZR5Al58/VTmWFM3MfrI/AAAAAAAAGUI/uwnfxmUGpCk/s1600/apprenticecover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RjEAZR5Al58/VTmWFM3MfrI/AAAAAAAAGUI/uwnfxmUGpCk/s1600/apprenticecover.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Blurb:</b></i> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">We travel forward six months as the dust from battle settles, and
another turbulent time gives way to some much-needed tranquillity.
<br />The Dark Realm had been put to the sword, and its inhabitants removed and turned into positive energy by Mother Nature.
<br />In the other realm, Atkinson and Dewhirst were once again in total
control of the Realm of Death, with John Smith proving to be a great
choice as Reaper. Also, a feud between the gods of the other realm and
the Goddess of Nature which had raged for countless millennia was over,
and made for a more stable future for the planet.
<br />Paul Johnson now had three golden scars on his chest, and a wedding to plan with his beloved Dixie.
<br />Sarah and Gavin have their son Paladin on Atkinson’s team, as he
begins to learn who he is and why he is to be a full-time resident on
the Plane of Existence.
<br />John Smith and Tom Harper are now firmly a couple who have burst
onto the gay scene and are most definitely out of their respective
closets.
<br />As the disgraced Chief Inspector Crawshaw goes to trial, the police
station has once again become the happy place it once was, as the now
Chief Detective Superintendent Viktoria Malik had relocated to Paul
Johnson’s old police station. Also, she and Linda Harper are moving in
together, and their whirlwind romance is bringing talk of wedding bells. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hello everyone! I hope you're all surviving the last throes of winter. Hang in there East Coast! The sun is coming soon!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Got a problem with weeds? I've got the author for you. As always, I'm excited to bring you today's awesome author. I recently discovered Tam Linsey and read her amazing and clever...yes that's my favorite word for great books...novel Botanicaust. So today I give you...***drum roll please!***...Miss Tam Linsey!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>Tam, welcome to Dream Weaver Novels on Blogger! Let's start off by telling readers a little about yourself.</i></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hi, Su, thanks for inviting me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Like many writers, I’m shy when talking about myself, but I’ll give it a shot. I’m a lifelong Alaskan who went out of state to college intending to major in Biomedical Engineering. After a stint at Lawrence Berkley Laboratories, I decided I didn’t want to be tied to a lab eighteen hours a day, so I swapped majors to English, of all things. Now I write science fiction, which means I still get to read tons of scientific papers for research, and find myself holed up in my office eighteen hours a day… wait a minute. I just realized that. D’oh!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After graduation, I dragged my husband home to my High North homeland. Alaska is in my blood, and in spite of the harsh climate and hugely variable seasonal daylight, the rhythm works perfectly for me. During the summer, I’m an avid gardener, hunter, fisher, and all-around gatherer. (My goal is to be able to provide enough food for my family to sustain us year-round when TSHTF--can you tell I write post-apocalyptic fiction?)) During the cold and dark winter months, I write speculative fiction and create gluten free recipes for cookbooks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I've read Botanicaust and that's the reason I sought you out for an interview. I found it very clever and original. Here's my review:</span></i><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></i><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">'I have to say I loved this book!! Tam Linsey is a smart and creative writer. The story had just enough science-fact to make the science fiction believable. It's easy to become invested in her characters and the story was action-packed from beginning to end. I was skeptical at first with the use of Bible references and such, but Linsey was careful not to step over the line of being too preachy. What scriptural references she employed were necessary for 'fleshing out' her characters, vital to the development of the characters and the plot. I have a feeling she is a very intelligent woman and look forward to reading more of her intriguing stories in the future!'</span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thank you for that lovely review and support! The Botanicaust is basically what is called an Extinction Level Event; a rogue genetically modified (GM) plant escaped the lab and interbred with wild variants to create the mother of all superweeds. Long story short (I’m writing the “long story” right now in the form of the prequel, titled Amarantox) these weeds wiped out pretty much all competing plant life on earth, including the crops needed to feed humanity.<br />Of course, there wouldn’t be a story without survivors, so I came up with a list of mechanisms people might use to survive a situation like this. Cannibalism, of course, is what most post-apocalyptic zombie-like scenarios would call for, so the majority of surviving humanity turned to this. But I wanted more diversity than a typical horror-type PA. I thought perhaps communities like the Amish, who still rely on hand weeding fields, could survive if they protected their crops from the marauding cannibals and hungry animals. And I created scientists who genetically engineered photosynthetic skin so they don’t need to eat. Finally, I needed a really “bad guy” society, so I made up a group of scientists who’ve discovered the secret to immortality.</span></div>
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Where on earth did you come up with the idea to write a...plant apocalypse story?</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is the question I’m asked most often. As a certified Master Gardener, I am very attuned to the plant world. I think my time in the garden fighting weeds was the beginning of the idea. (If you’ve ever battled an overgrowth of chickweed during the continual drizzle of an Alaskan summer, you know what I mean. Rotten, pernicious weeds!) And then there’s the issue of invasive species. I watched invasive sweet clover creep along the edges of our Alaskan highways for years. One day a stand appeared on my street, and I was aghast. Eradicating a weed like this one takes constant vigilance, which is impossible on a governmental level–Alaska simply has too much land to cover. What would happen if these weeds were bioengineered, making them even more difficult to control? Botanical holocaust = Botanicaust!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Your covers and Amazon Author image are lovely! Who does the artwork?</span></i><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thank you! I created my own covers using GIMP software. For my cookbooks, I used images of the food I’d actually cooked. For my fiction, I purchased stock images and combined and altered them for a sci-fi feel. My first few attempts were ghastly, so if any new authors out there are reading this, I strongly suggest hiring out your cover art. Prices have come down considerably since I first published Botanicaust.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The “leaf girl” illustration I use for much of my online presence is another image I purchased but didn’t alter. I don’t mind having photos of me taken, but I’m horrible about remembering a camera when I go places. And when I try to use my phone for selfies, the image is always blurry (maybe I need to work out more so I don’t wobble so much!)</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I see you have more books out, a couple that aren't fiction. Tell us about those and what's next in the creative mind of Tam Linsey?</span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The cookbooks are gluten free recipes I developed to feed myself when I discovered I was celiac, long before going gluten free was a fad. I had so many hand scribbled recipes, and received so many compliments from guests, I decided to compile them into cookbooks and share them. I have a stack of pancake and waffle recipes I plan to make into another cookbook this year, once I find time to photograph them. (Around here, everything gets eaten before I can set up my “studio” to snap a picture!)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My true writing passion, however, is science fiction. I mentioned above that I’m working on Amarantox, the prequel for the Botanicaust series. It’s about the woman who accidentally set the weed free, and is scheduled for release in April 2015. Here’s the working blurb:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Vegetarian eco-activist, Jaide Acosta, will do anything to stop the spread of corporate control over nature, with a capital N. She pulls invasive weeds, pickets herbicide factories, and has even been known to break into a genetic test greenhouse to sabotage corporate computers. But when genetically engineered weeds invade Earth’s croplands, she learns nature isn’t the benign force she imagined it to be. Struggling to survive with her teenage daughter, she discovers just how far the human race can go, and must come to terms with the ugly side of her own true nature.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Once I’ve finished Amarantox, I need to decide if I want to write the “other” prequel (how the Fosselites came to be) or if I want to begin another series that has been poking me in the brain about aliens.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">W<i>here did the scriptural elements and the German (Amish?ish) come from? You seemed very comfortable working them into your story.</i></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have family in the Midwest, and always loved to visit the Amish settlements there. Their peaceful, rural, self-sufficient lifestyle appeals to my Prepper side, although not necessarily their dogma. (I am a Christian, but in a spiritual rather than a religious way.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I was a little nervous about releasing a first book with such a strong undertone, but the scriptural elements are important in the first book because Levi’s religion defines his life. His religion IS his struggle. It is part of the world-building, not an attempt at evangelism. The second book in the series, Doomseeds, doesn’t have a POV character who is Christian, but one of the secondary characters is, and I’ve had quite a few readers tell me they love him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As far as the German, I used Google Translate a lot—lol! Since publication, I’ve been taking a German language course, and was mortified to discover that the German in Botanicaust is grammatically incorrect in at least one place. Ah, well. Maybe the language went to hell 400 years in the future, right?</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Is there anything else you'd like readers to know about you and/or your books?</span></i><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I produced Botanicaust as an audio book late last year, and it recently got accepted into the Whispersync for voice program. What that means is that if you purchase(d) the Kindle version, you can then buy the audiobook at a steep discount (like, 90% off!) and it will “sync” with the ebook while you read it. I listen to a lot of audio books while gardening or cooking, and I love to have the option to swap between listening and reading without losing my place. You can listen to a sample of the audio here: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Botanicaust-Book-1/dp/B00OVH8JMY">http://www.amazon.com/Botanicaust-Book-1/dp/B00OVH8JMY</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I hope to be able to produce my other books into audio versions in the near future.</span></div>
<br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Okay, let's have a little fun.</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If I gave you a piece of chalk, a red candle and a grape vine, what kind of story would you write? (You can give it a title too if you want.)</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fun! I love brainstorming! Let’s see…</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In a steep, rocky cliff, about fifteen feet up, I see a depression I think might be a cave. Grasping a nearby grape vine, I pull myself up to the ledge. Broad leaves shade the crevasse, but behind them, the deeper darkness of empty space. I push back the leaves and a waft of dank air brushes my cheek. Someone has been here before me and left the stub of a red candle just inside on the floor. I pull my lighter out of my pocket and ignite the wick before venturing inside.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The walls are covered with drawings, cabalistic shapes and disturbing images. The red candle flickers, making the shapes warp and bend. I’m an artist myself, but these are not art. These pictures vibrate with something different. Something sinister.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I didn’t think the stories about the witch and her curse were true, but a tingle runs down my spine like a mild electric current. Maybe this explains the sickening flocks of sheep around the artist retreat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I rub a palm over the nearest image, but the lines don’t even smudge. I think they might be drawn in blood. Another shiver passes through me. A take a step deeper inside, ears keen for any hint of sound. Something tells me I must eradicate the drawings, but how? Fishing inside my pockets, I discover a nub of pastel chalk left over from the morning at my sketch pad. I apply the chalk to the nearest drawing and quickly rub it out…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Well, you get the idea.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you had to choose one of your characters to survive the Botanicaust with, who would it be and why?</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That’s a hard one! Everyone is in danger! But if I had to choose, I’d probably choose Tula so she could give me pretty green skin. And if I had to live in the Protectorate with her, I’d find a way to change conversion policy, much like she did, only without needing to run away from cannibals.</span></div>
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Do you have a dream cast picked out if your book was to be made into a movie?</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I don’t, sorry. But I’d be delighted if someone optioned it!</span><br />

I was so excited to meet her at a conference in Seattle a couple of years ago that I made a complete derp out of myself. And to put the cherry on the fangirl sundae, I asked to sit with her at dinner. Unfortunately, we ended up on opposite sides of the table from each other and could barely hear each other over the murmurs of all the other attendees around us. Dinner was served, but my eyes just kept wandering back to her lovely young face. And that's exactly what it was...I couldn't get over how young she is. Well, she caught me looking at her and gave me an awkward smile and a little wave. So of course, derp that I am, I went to wave back....and promptly dropped the knife in my hand onto my plate with a resounding clatter. My face glowed crimson and we both giggled a little...I'd have liked to crawl under the table for the night. But hey, she remembered me and has been so wonderfully gracious to do a couple of interviews with me on this blog.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">She’s a fan of most things geeky (Sailor Moon, Firefly,
any occasion that requires a costume), and has been in love with fairy
tales since she was a child. Her favorite non-bookish things
include Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, re-watching episodes of Firefly, and
playing all manners of dress-up.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">First of all, of course, there's Marissa's new book <i>Fairest: Levana's Story</i>. It launches on January 27. Fans of the <i>Lunar Chronicles</i> know Queen Levana as a ruler who uses
her “glamour” to gain power. But long before she crossed paths with
Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress, Levana lived a very different story—a story
that has never been told … until now. Marissa spins yet another unforgettable tale about love and
war, deceit and death. This extraordinary book includes full-color art
and an excerpt from WINTER, the next book in the Lunar Chronicles
series.</span></div>

you! I wrote <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Summoned-Rainy-Kaye-ebook/dp/B00JAZT88G" target="_blank">SUMMONED</a> to take a break from a 9 book series that has
been in development for several years. The only goal I had for SUMMONED
was for it to be steamy and full of personality, but I wasn't sure if I
would really publish it. An agent saw it on Twitter, and it was under
representation before it was even finished. A few months after release,
it was added to the PANDORA boxed set which reached the USA Today
Bestseller List. Who knew!</span></i></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Author Rainy Kaye now has a new fan. I loved her jinn book Summoned. It
is well-written, fast-paced, intriguing (I lost a few hours of sleep) and
original. I was actually expecting it to be a YA book, just based on
the guy on cover...what can I say? I do judge a book by its cover. So
when the 'steamy' scenes began to play out I was bit caught off guard.
But honestly, even those scenes were so well-written...a challenge to
many Adult/erotica writers. All the scenes were honest and believable. If I could add
neon lights and flashing beacons onto my 5 star rating, I'd do it in
a heart beat. Nice job, Rainy Kaye!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>WELL, HELLO THERE, STRANGERS!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It seems I've been on a bit of a hiatus. That wasn't the plan, it just kinda happened. So what have I been doing without you? Well, I've just published the first anthology under Dream Weaver Novels. Nine other indie authors from around the world joined me in writing short stories in the dark paranormal genre. So now, we get to present to you....**drum roll**....<a href="http://amzn.com/B00RHT0WSM" target="_blank">Gates of Erebus: Dark Paranormal Short Stories!</a> </span></div>

Paranormal Short Stories by indie authors from around the world. These stories
will take you from the most timid of shadows to the pitch black of hell—or the
darkness of a murderer’s heart. You’ll find stories that will make you smile,
and a couple that are downright gruesome. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm feeling a bit like a proud Mama at this moment. This is a great bunch of authors from around the globe, so you get the flavors of England, Scotland, Australia and, of course, the USA. Please pop over and get a copy today...oh, and by the way, 100% of all the proceeds will be going to global charities. This quarter's charity is <a href="http://readingisfundamental.org/" target="_blank">Reading is Fundamental</a>.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The KDP free promo went very well. And I realized sometimes it's more than just number of downloads, but the ranking that's so important. So, even tho we didn't get to 1000 downloads, the combo deal and Breaking Normal were in the top 7 in the teen action/adventure category, and in the top 34 for paranormal/urban fantasy. Can't complain about that one little bit. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Of course, if you missed it, the individual books are only 99 cents each. Here's the links just in case.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thank you all for putting up with my melancholy, last week. We're all doing better now, but still miss the boy incredibly. Thanks to those of you who reached out with warm thoughts. And now...on with the show.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yeah, yeah! I know I always say it, but I am truly excited to bring you this week's author. Lorraine was one those 'true fans' writers adore. She read my books, and without my knowledge or request, she posted links to them on Twitter, touting her 5 star review. I had to send her my thanks. We began corresponding and soon became friends. Then, I read her book, <a href="http://amzn.com/B00EYH7UNA" target="_blank">Ambient Light</a>. I was blown away. This was Lorraine's first book, but she writes like a seasoned pro, so of course, I had to share her with you.<b> </b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I
started out to write a Cozy Mystery. I wanted to write one where nobody dies.
Turns out I couldn't do either. Ambient Light turned into a thriller. Though no
one dies during the time frame of the story, the bad guy has a couple of
skeletons tucked away. I spent about three weeks researching all the law
enforcement details. I learned far more than I used, but I feel good about
those scenes. They are very realistic for the Eugene Police Department. I had
fun writing the story, but writing the bad guy was the most fun of all. He
evolved a lot as the story progressed. I had to rewrite the first chapter as
the original made him look too nice, less devious and calculating.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I have
several projects in the works, in varying stages of completion. There's a
second book in the Angel McKenzie Thriller Series, the first in a Contemporary
Romance series set in a fictitious town on the Oregon Coast, and a Regency
Romance series tentatively labeled The House of Warrick Series. However, the
next book to be published will be a Prequel to Ambient Light. I wrote the first
draft last month while participating in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing
Month). I need to do some significant revisions, but I'm hoping to complete it
in December. It's all about Jason Dalton, years before he meets Angel McKenzie.</span></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What is the most important thing you've learned that you would
share with new indie authors? Any great websites?</span></span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Keep
writing, keep publishing. One book will not make you a best selling author.
It's also important to have a good story. Readers will forgive a few mistakes
if the story is compelling enough. In spite of that, you should always pay a
professional to edit your book. They won't find everything, but a fresh set of
eyes on the manuscript will find more mistakes, including things you didn't
realize were wrong. Last but not least, a good genre-appropriate cover is a
must. Something to catch the eye as readers are looking at a long list of
potential books to buy.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I was
inspired to write by the success of a friend who'd turned from Internet

my writing style most recently are in the Fantasy genre: Brandon Sanderson,
Brent Weeks, Patrick Rothfuss, Terry Brooks, and of course, J.R.R. Tolkien.</span></span></div>

Hi all. Normally, I have a chipper note or a fun interview for you. And I know that a lot of you who check in here are true fans of my books. Out of all my characters, the one with the most fan response has been the little beagle pup, Eddyson. </div>
So, it is with a heavy heart that I share this sad news with family, friends and fans of Dream Weaver Novels. The beagle
pup in the books, Eddyson, was largely based on my own sweet boy Dyson.
Eddy and Dyson (notice the overlap of their names) kind of grew up
together and I tried to weave the antics of the real pup into the
fictional one. <br /> All that said to say this: I posted on Facebook several weeks ago that Dyson was diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma. We do<span class="text_exposed_show">sed
him with prednisone twice a day, and originally, the meds worked and
reduced the size of the lymph nodes in his neck. Unfortunately, the
steroids aren't a cure and even chemo in dogs is not a guarantee. The
nodes again began to swell, and it became obvious the boy was in pain. I
promised him when he was diagnosed that I would not let him suffer, no
matter how much it broke my heart. So after a rough sleepless night for
both of us, I decided I had to be brave and keep my promise to my puppa
love. The vet confirmed I'd made the right decision, and five minutes
later my beautiful boy rested his head on his paws, breathed his last,
and grew incredibly still. It was so fast. The vet allowed us to stay
with him, love on him, anoint his coat with our tears and whisper all
the precious words he already knew.</span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show"></span><span class="text_exposed_show"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="text_exposed_show">**I love you puppadoo. And I miss you already. Thank you for saving me.**</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo....OK so I'm just being a little silly. But don't we all sometimes need a little silliness in our day to cut through the boredom or anxiety? Even the Bible tells us "A merry heart does good like a medicine." Don't believe in God or the Bible? How about "Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face." <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(Victor Hugo)</i></span> Or "A day without laughter is a day wasted." <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Charlie Chaplin)</span></i> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So laugh away!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I know most of you who drop by are here to read about a new indie author and their books. And occasionally I give you the run down on a great site I found for indie authors - like <a href="http://www.grammarly.com/?q=brand&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Brand&utm_content=43256179926&utm_term=grammarly%20com&matchtype=e&placement=&network=g&gclid=CjwKEAiA4rujBRDD7IG_wOPytXkSJACTMkgatrY2xlR9NPXEoRHq_3DIod5dqlm8Mg9D3b-tic8buBoCuZzw_wcB">Grammarly.com</a>. I featured today's site once before, but I'm so pleased with them, I had to give them another shout out. Of course, the site is Dollar Photo Club. I joined the Club about three months ago. After a week, I signed up to be an ambassador for them. After two weeks, I did a full feature on their site. So yes, I do absolutely love <a href="http://mbsy.co/7cLQS" target="_blank">Dollar Photo Club</a>. But rather than blathering on about them, I thought I'd just show you the awesome images I've downloaded from their site, and tell you where I've used them. So here goes....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I used two different art programs to recolor and change the opacity of the images so they would fit into the Dream Weaver brand. I have to chuckle a little. I got a message from someone on Twitter, asking me why I had to use 'demonic' imagery in my tweets. Um...huh? Do you think the image above of the skull is demonic? I just thought it was a cool rock n roll image. Went great with my character and the story.</span></div>

And their name means exactly what it says: <a href="http://mbsy.co/7cLQS" target="_blank">Dollar Photo Club</a>. When you join for $10/month, you get 10 downloads. And even if you don't use your downloads each month, you still get to keep them. As well, if you decide it's just not in your budget anymore but you still have downloads, they will still let you use your downloads. Pretty cool huh?</span></div>

him to her doorstep? </span></span></div>

Emari lives the dream of being a rock star in an elaborate memory weave created

Sabre's longtime nemesis bent on vengeance for the death of his beloved sister.

buried. And the biggest secret of all could destroy everything.

time, but I am still, and hope to always be, fascinated with the beauty of
Autumn. I ask myself how I can paint a picture of words to describe the colors,
the weather, the starkness that heralds winter. Because, isn't that the job of a writer? To paint a picture with words? And sometimes, I have to wonder
if Fall appeals to my dark side as trees and flowers turn skeletal and dark.

Leigh Cheser hails from a family of writers; her mother, a non-fiction writer,
and her brothers, a newspaperman, and a copywriter. While she has many passions,
her first love has always been books, which evolved into writing. Much of her young life was spent in the town
library, and her parents despaired her being an
under-the-covers-at-night-with-a-flashlight reader.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">A
casual writer since childhood, it wasn’t until 2002 that she was driven to
finally write a book. On a ‘graveyard shift’ shift for eighteen months, she had
the time to write for several hours every night. The result was her first book.
Today, with three books published and two more in the series due out soon,
she’s busy all the time.</span></span></span></div>

published in 2012, is the story of Janelle, a young woman in south-central New
Hampshire in 1830, who loses her father in a logging accident, and gains a
suitor in rapid succession. It’s the story of their courtship and
eventual marriage – but with a host of problems dogging them every step of the
way. From a devastating family secret,
to kidnapping and murder attempts, to amnesia, and questioned parentage, it
doesn’t look good for the survival of their relationship.<i>(Warning: ‘hot’)</i></span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">What was a surprise was
that the actual writing is almost a minor part of it. There’s all the research (which I enjoy),
there’s working with the editor (which I also enjoy – go figure!), there’s the
publishing (which in my case is assisted self-publishing), and, last but not
least, there’s the dreaded marketing – doing whatever I can to get the word out
– on a retiree’s limited income. As a hearing-impaired introvert, this part of
publishing is difficult for me.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"></span></span><br />

trademark/copyright lawsuit would always be hanging over my head, if not with
the current owners, then possibly with heirs down the road, so I proactively decided
to use a pen name. Before I made the
final decision, I googled my choice -
‘Dayna Leigh Cheser’ - and came up with nothing, which is exactly what I
wanted! Now, if someone googles my name

It's a collection of flash fiction (very
short stories), all centered around the theme of the moon. The stories range
from fantasy to sci-fi to literary, but all about the moon. And all are short
and sweet. Other than that, I
post free short fiction bi-weekly to my site, Little Write Lies (<a href="http://www.littlewritelies.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">www.littlewritelies.com</span></a>).

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">- I learned that it's important to be
engaged in the subject you're writing about. That's probably the most important
thing. I'd tried to write books in the past for the sake of writing a book. But
with <i>The Suicide of the Moon</i>, I couldn't get enough of writing about the moon.
That made the entire process far easier (and more enjoyable)! </span></span></div>

that's the fastest way to get better.</span></span></div>

"<a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Little-Prince-Antoine-Saint-Exup%C3%A9ry/dp/0156012197" target="_blank">The Little Prince</a>" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. I've read it in all
the languages I've studied (not to mention the 20+ times I've read it in
English). It's a wonderful piece of philosophy disguised as a children's book.
It's definitely served as a huge inspiration for me over the years. </span></span></div>

<i>The post I linked Cristina Guarino with is a post on NaNoWriMo. If you haven't heard of it...where have you been?! Seriously though, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, and every November, writers from around the globe commit to writing 50,000 words in 30 days. And believe me, it is a commitment. I wrote most of Rock Star during the NaNo of 2012. It was a great head start. If you're a writer, consider joining the fun. And, they have great prizes for completing (winning) the challenge...like 5 paperback copies of one your books from CreateSpace! Here's the link if you want to know more.</i></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
And it was a smash success! Combined, all of the Dream Weaver Novels and the Tears of Adamas short story garnered 9,065 downloads over the 5 day promotion! I wanted 10,000. But, I certainly can't cry over numbers like that! And even better, the books were downloaded in countries, like Denmark and Japan, where
they've never been downloaded before! Yay! A new audience! And, Tears of Adamas received its first two reviews. Both 5 stars!...Have you had
enough of my exclamation points yet? Sorry. I'm just excited!!! OK, I think I'm
done now...maybe.</div>

So, let's say you were in Antarctica or Siberia or the sweltering Rain Forest, and
didn't have access to wi-fi last week, and you totally missed the free promo.
No worries. I've kept the price on the books at the sale price of 99 cents
each. That's not a bad price for 5 star, award winning books, is it?</div>

<b>TAYLOR EATON </b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I happened on Taylor on a friend's blog and read a short story she wrote. The tale had a very ethereal feel to it, and I really enjoyed it, so I contacted her. I get emails about free and budget ebooks and followed the link to her 'Suicide of the Moon' and other short stories, and purchased the book not realizing it was her. So I was excited when I realized she was someone I'd already been in contact with.</div>

<b>DAYNA L CHESER</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, Dayna L Cheser has self-serve author interviews that she posts on her blog and I did an interview with her over a year ago. Each day, I get stats on this blog, one being a 'referring site' list. And Dayna's site is almost always at the top of the list, and most of time she's my biggest referring site. As a matter of fact, just now when I went to download her pic from her site, I saw my own face in her carousel of authors right on the home page! I wrote her a quick thank you and asked if I could feature her here.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So, do stay tuned. I will have more info on both Taylor and Dayna in the next few days.<br />
Until then...<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The story of Dream Weavers Emari Sweet, Nickolas Benedetti
and Sabre James brings the terror to a boil and spills over as their arch
nemesis, Thomas, the Nightmare Wraith (Rephaim) drafts Em's friends, Jesse and
Ivy into the feud, and lures her pup, Eddyson into peril. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Since her parents were killed in a crash, the only thing Em
has wanted is a ‘normal’ life, but the magic and mayhem of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>her new life has spiraled her entire world
out of control. ‘Normal’ doesn’t even exist for her anymore. She struggles
through the stages of grief, and her anger at Nick’s betrayal. Rage embitters
her heart, and she’s not sure she will<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>ever be able to trust this man she’s grown to love. </span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Using her new Caphar gifts and her magical spider Ari, Em
works with her friend/cop Molly and Spokane Police to solve cold cases, and
memoryprint new ones. Emari hones her body and abilities to become a daunting
challenger in the battle against the Wraith. But will Nick and Em's relationship survive his lies and her rage? And will any of them survive the nightmare of the Wraith?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In Greek, Adamas means diamond, and so the main character of this short story fairytale is aptly named. Adamas weeps diamond tears. Enter the greedy prince of the province, Poneros. Poneros cares nothing for the girl, BUT he'd sure like to know how she got all of those diamonds. The prince will stop at nothing to possess her...lies, deceit and even murder. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Because Tears of Adamas is a short story, I've included some fun facts about diamonds you might not have known before...and if you have any other fun facts, please feel free to add them to the comments on this post. There's also an excerpt from a short story anthology included.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">CAN YOU HELP?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I know a lot of you who visit me each week have already read most if not all of my work. So, I'm asking you to help me spread the word about this promo. All the books will be free from Sept. 22 to Sept. 26. I would so appreciate your support! It only takes a moment to post this on your Facebook page and/or give it a tweet on Twitter, or give it a G+. Also, if you've read them, or you do read them, please, please, please leave a review on Amazon. A review is like gold to an indie author, and each one lends credibility for an author to Amazon. Then Amazon promotes the author too! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Ya know, I always sign off these posts with 'As always...Dare to Dream!' But you might not know why. I got started a little late in the writing game. I'm not ancient, by any means, but most authors start decades earlier than I did. When I started writing Dream Weaver, it was a whim. But the world of the Caphar and the Rephaim just kept building and expanding in my head. Nick's voice became a staple in my head...no not like a metal staple. And even though agents declined my queries, I pressed forward and continued to dream of getting my words, my stories in front of as many readers as possible. It is my firm belief that if you dream it, you can be it...yeah, I know, a line from Rocky Horror. But like the little robot in Disney's Robots, I believe 'A dream you don't fight for will haunt you for the rest of your life'...and I would add...'and become your worst nightmare.' I don't want to look back when I really am ancient and decrepit, and regret not following my dreams. And you shouldn't either. So that's why I sign off with the challenge...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">GREAT NEWS FOR <i>DREAM WEAVER</i>!!!</span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Just a quick personal shout out before I introduce this week's guest. A while back, I entered <i>Dream Weaver</i> in the Readers' Favorite International Book Awards. In July, I discovered it was a finalist in the contest. Well, last night, I received an email from Readers' Favorite to come check out the winners list. Of course, I followed the link, and discovered that <i>Dream Weaver</i> took Bronze in the Young Adult Paranormal Fiction category. Woot woot!! So now it's official...<i>Dream Weaver</i> is now an award winning novel!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If I remember right, I discovered this week's visitor from a daily email I receive with free and discounted books. I began to read his novel 'Nightmare City' and really enjoyed his unique take on his characters. Nightmare City is very well written and action packed. So I hope after you've read his interview, you'll hop on over and get a copy of his book. But wait until after. I'm sure you'll want to meet Jack first. This is one of the most fun interviews I've done. So, let me introduce Jack Conner.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Jack, thanks so
much for visiting Dream Weaver Novels on Blogger. I'm very excited to have you
here. Tell us a little about yourself<i>.</i></span><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I’m from Austin, Texas, a land of
great Mexican food and plentiful sunshine, at the moment marooned in Corvallis, Oregon,
a dream spot for many, but sadly lacking in sunshine and Mexican food. Luckily
I’m moving back to Austin!
Woo-hoo! I’ll be back in early October.</span></i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I’ve been
writing since I was very young. For the last decade, I’ve actually been
represented by one of the best literary agencies in America. They have clients whose
works have inspired TV series (one of which just ended after six or seven
seasons on HBO). So. Big time. So why haven’t they gotten me published? Well,
they’re trying hard, but in the wake of Borders closing, Barnes and Noble has
gotten super conservative about what books they’ll buy, especially in regards
to fantasy and science fiction. Borders published all sorts of alternative,
cool fantasy titles, allowing people like China Mieville and Jeff Vandermeer to
launch their careers. After Borders closed, B & N pretty much stopped
buying New Weird books from new writers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Books like <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Nightmare City</span>, <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">City of Shadows </span>and others that I’ve
written (and, damn it, continue to write!) just became next to impossible to
sell.</span></i></div>

to self-publishing. I know the audience for those books is out there. I just
need to find them. Do you like China Mieville but wish he were more, well, <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">fun</span>? Try me.</span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The city of Lavorgna was inspired by
a confluence of factors. Basically, I’d been writing medieval epic fantasy for
years and was in the mood for something completely different. I decided to
write about a more modern city (but not <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">too</span>
modern) with plenty of fantastical, even horror-ific touches. I decided to have
mad scientists creating Frankenstein-monster-like creatures, as well as
homunculi, etc., and that these would be common sights in Lavorgna. There are
warring mob bosses, zeppelins and alchemy, so there is very much a strong dose
of pulp in these tales, but played straight, no winking at the camera or any of
that. Of course, one of the most major influences was H. P. Lovecraft. I’m a
huge fan of the gentleman from Providence, and
having Lovecraftian horrors dwelling below the city of Lavorgna seemed like a great way to explore
some fun and creepy concepts. I see many stories inspired by Lovecraft, but few
resonate with me. Most seem like pale pastiches, or, worse, jokey homages. One of
the few writers/creators out there able to evoke the proper mood, for me, is
Mike Mignola. His Hellboy-verse is drenched in Lovecraftian goodness, while at
the same time being distinctly its own thing and full of action and fun. In my
own way, that’s what I’ve tried to do with my Lavorgna books. <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Nightmare</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> City</span>
is actually the second novel set in Lavorgna. <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">City of Shadows</span> is the first, and it’s bigger and more epic than <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Nightmare City</span>, but just as much fun.
I’ve also written a couple of novellas in that world. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So what's next
in this Post-Steampunk Lovecraft series?</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I adore
Lavorgna and the world it’s set in and hope to write a great deal more about it.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">. . . the world
of Lavorgna inspired a very different, much bigger tale that has occupied a
great deal of my attention of late. In both <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">City
of Shadows</span> and <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Nightmare</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> City</span>
we see the effects of a war that has ravaged the world, but we learn very
little of that war. Well, I’ve always been curious about that conflict, and I
pondered on it for a long time, and finally I set to writing. The story takes
place in a different world than that of Lavorgna, but very similar, just . . .
changed. Made alien. At the moment, I’m writing the fifth book in the series, and
I plan to drop the whole thing like a bomb in December. It’s a tale of epic
adventure and horror. Think <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lord of the
Rings</span> meets <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Nightmare</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> City</span>.
Does that sound grandiose? Well, okay, then imagine an epic, multi-volume tale
of adventure in a strange, eerie world, a world that has been irrevocably
altered by mysterious forces. Trust me, this series is <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">awesome</span>.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>A Bit on Jack's Writing Processes</b></span><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></i></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I love how your brain works. Tell us more about you. How did you
start your writing career? And what's the most important thing you think you've
learned?</span> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">I began writing
my first novel when I was eleven years old, but I’d been writing even before
that. Two things prompted me: 1) I’d just learned how the world worked, where
money came from, and realized they expected me to get a job. A job! Filled with
horror, I cast about for some other way to make money, and immediately hit on
writing because 2) I’d been telling stories since I could think coherently
(still something I’m hit or miss on), both to myself and to others. I love
telling stories, and I have many to tell. Sometimes I wish I could clone myself
so I could have my clones write the stories I don’t have time for.</span> </i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">How do you
develop your plots and your characters? Do you use any set formula? </span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I’m usually
inspired by a certain image or mood, either in things I write myself or from
books I’m reading or movies I’m watching. Once I fall in love with an idea,
I’ll play with it, sometimes for a long time, and I’m talking years, before I
finally work out the plot and story mechanics enough for me to begin writing.
Then, sometimes, I’ll have an idea one day and begin writing the next. That was
the case for Nightmare City. The story coalesced all of a
sudden in my head one night as I was going to bed, and the next morning I
couldn’t wait to leap in front of my keyboard and start writing.</span></span> </span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The best advice
I can give is twofold. One, write write write. Writing is a craft, and it takes
practice. A <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">lot</span> of practice. Some say
you don’t really learn how to write until after your first million words, and I
have to say that holds true for me, pretty much. The second piece is: get
feedback. Don’t trust your mom or sister or brother. If at all possible, find a
writers’ critique group in your area, preferably one focused on your general
genre, and go to every meeting. When I first joined the Slug Tribe in Austin, I was convinced
the other writers would read my words and sit back in awe, then, very likely,
begin bowing to me and calling me master. Instead, they cut my piece to
ribbons. To this day they’ll tell you I went through a trial by fire. But that
book (my epic fantasy <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">War of the Black
Tower: Part One</span>) is now my best-seller . . . after massive revisions. All
because I listened to their critiques, as well as others’.</span> </span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Is there someone special who helped or mentored you in your writing career? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Oh, goodness. Well,
first, my dad. He’s the one who started telling me stories at bedtime, inventing
them off the top of his head, and then encouraging me to tell my own stories
back to him. So he’s a <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">huge</span> factor in
me being a writer. I think it would be fair to say I’d never have started this
journey without him. Then, of course, the members of my writers critique group,
the Slug Tribe, were instrumental in helping me up my game. Lastly, my agents
(there are two of them, and I won’t use their names) have helped me lift my
writing to a higher level still. They’ve taught me what it takes to be a commercial
writer – or at least that’s the goal! <span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span> </span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>But I’d never
be anywhere without the women in my life. My mother has always been encouraging
(even if she hates fantasy, sci-fi and horror), and my wife has made it all
possible by giving me the time to write, as well as the emotional support.
Thank you, guys!<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My dad's more of a
storyteller now than he was when I was little. I love to sit and listen
to him tell stories of his childhood. I've used some of them in my
writing.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sadly, I’m so
busy writing and promoting that I barely have enough time to dip into my
(ridiculously large) library, composed of print books collected over many years
of scouring used-book stores. I have almost no time for discovering new talents
(and yes, I can see some irony there). Sigh. However, once I get my big series
up in December, I should be able to sit back and rest a bit. Hopefully then
I’ll be able to have time to find some fellow indies. Any suggestions?</span></i></div>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
GREAT DEALS!</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a relatively new indie author, my policy has been to offer my books at very low prices, because I believe, right now, I'm building a fan base rather than trying to make a million bucks. I like to make sure readers know about the great prices on my books. And that trend continues today. In celebration of the final Dream Weaver book, <a href="http://viewbook.at/BreakingNormal" target="_blank">BREAKING NORMAL</a> will be on sale for $2.99, AND both <a href="http://getbook.at/Dreamin" target="_blank">DREAM WEAVER</a> & <a href="http://getbook.at/Rockin" target="_blank">ROCK STAR</a> are only $0.99 each. I don't price my books so low because I don't believe they're worth more. I price them this way to get them in as many hands as I can. I may not make a million this way, but people will start to know my name and the quality of books I release. So maybe the next one will sell a million!! Hey a girl can dream, right?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keep your eyes out...that just sounds weird, doesn't it? I envision Blind Mag from <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repo!_The_Genetic_Opera" target="_blank">Repo: The Genetic Opera</a> </i>as she plucks out her genetically perfect eyes that shoot out images while she sings....but I digress. Yes, so, keep an eye out for my new, old-fashion fairy tale inspired by Ellen Mae Franklin's <i>The Unseen Promise</i>. It's entitled <i>Tears of Adamas</i>, a tale of a young maiden who weeps diamonds, and the power of cruelty and compassion. Will post the link once it goes live. </div>

I'm not sure I asked Lorraine Adair yet. Oops! I'm sure she'll be on board with an interview. If not, I'm still going to tell you about her fantastic book <i>Ambient Light</i>. I've linked their names, so you can check them out beforehand. But we'll get lots of great info when their interviews are posted. </div>

LASTLY...</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you to those of you who checked out <a href="http://mbsy.co/7cLQS" target="_blank">Dollar Photo Club</a> from my last post. As an ambassador for the site, I receive $10 for each membership I send their way. And I got my next month's membership fees paid, thanks to you! If you didn't get the info on the club, I'll post the link here: <a href="http://mbsy.co/7cLQS" target="_blank">Dollar Photo Club</a> I'm not one to jump on board with just any associates program, so you have to know I truly LOVE this site! I am so pleased with my images...which you see on <i>Rock Star</i>, <i>Breaking Normal </i>&<i> Tears of Adamas</i>. Just fabulous images for just a buck!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you're taking advantage of these last few days of summer break before the kiddies return to school...if they haven't already. Personally, I'm sad to see summer leaving so soon. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Well, that was a bit of a gap in posts! Sorry 'bout that. I'd fully intended to post a feature over a week ago about this great graphics site I discovered. But with all the prep for my daughter's cosplays for a local Con (<a href="http://kuronekocon.com/" target="_blank">KuroNekoCon</a> & <a href="http://www.spocon.org/" target="_blank">SpoCon</a>), and the regular demands of life, I had to extend the launch of Breaking Normal by a week. Finally, I had to shut myself up in my room and insist on the time to finish the final edits and cover design. And, guess what? I actually made it! <a href="http://mybook.to/BreakingNormal" target="_blank">BREAKING NORMAL</a> launched on August 6 (my mama's birthday!) I'll post pics of Sarah's cosplays at the end of the post. Let's get to this great site!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, cover design is always a challenge for me. I hired an artist (not a cover designer but an actual artist) last time, for Dream Weaver. And he did a beautiful job with the cover. But it just wasn't in the cards to hire him again for subsequent books. This story gets a little long and cumbersome, so suffice it to say, that I tried several avenues that just didn't pan out. So I was back on my own to design an appealing cover. And some more blah blah blah...then I discovered Dollar Photo Club and fell in love! I spent hours on the site exploring the images in their libraries. And at just $1 per image, it was a no brainer for me. I signed up (for $10 per month for 10 images), and began saving images to my galleries. I ran into a couple of snaffoos (purely of my own making), but tech support was there quickly to assist me. But I'll let Dollar Photo Club's own rep tell you more about it.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Dinah, thanks so much for all the great support with you and your staff. And for working with me on this feature of your awesome site! Here's the scoop, right from Dinah and Dollar Photo Club. </span></div>

That's okay. The Club's images can be used on bookmarks, posters, rack cards, business cards, and promotional media as well as on your blog, website and social media.

When you click on an image you like, it brings up a bigger image, as well as other images from that series, similar images and images with the same model. I've found all this to be so helpful.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Regular visitors here to Dream Weaver Novels on Blogger know I feature other indie authors each week. This is usually the place for that; I only yack on about me on my website (<a href="http://dreamweavernovels.com/">DreamWeaverNovels.com</a>). But, every once in a while, it's fun to update you on the goings on with my own books. And this week has been an exciting week for Dream Weaver Novels!</div>

<b>FIRST!</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Back in March, I submitted Rock Star to the review site, <a href="https://readersfavorite.com/" target="_blank">Reader's Favorite</a>. The site offers free and low cost reviews for indie authors, best-selling authors and celeb authors. Finally, I got my review back from them this week, and I couldn't be happier with the rating and the review! ROCK STAR received the coveted 5 STAR review; and the review encouraged me more than I can tell you. Here's a little bit of what the reviewer had to say: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="revieww"><i>Reviewed by Katelyn Hensel for Readers' Favorite</i><br />
<i><b>Rock Star</b> is the second book in the <b>Dream Weaver</b> series by the talented Su Williams... </i></span><i><span id="revieww">The writing style was unique and different...</span><span id="revieww">It was both captivating and something that I haven't really experienced lately...</span><span id="revieww">I love the kind of pseudo-scientific supernatural
quality that Williams employs regarding the manipulation of memories.
There was an Inception-esque quality to the story, but enough unique
ideas and cool thoughts that made it really shine on its own...</span><span id="revieww">Williams' writing style is a lot stronger than many in the YA genre so this was quite the pleasure to read. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="revieww">Here's the link if you'd like to read the entire <a href="https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/31217" target="_blank">review of Rock Star</a>. </span><i><span id="revieww"><br /></span></i></div>
<br />
<b>SECOND!</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Back in May, I entered both <i>Dream Weaver</i> and <i>Rock Star</i> in the <a href="https://readersfavorite.com/" target="_blank">Reader's Favorite International Book Awards</a>. The finalists were supposed to be announced July 1st, however, they received so many entries that they extended it to July 15th. So, I was super-excited to check my email on Tuesday. I told myself, 'Now don't be too disappointed if you didn't make it. The competition is really stiff.' So when I didn't find the email in my inbox I tried not to let it bug me. But just on a whim, I checked my Spam box. And lo and behold! there was the email with the link to the finalist list. With bated breath I followed the link and scrolled down to 'Young Adult Paranormal'...and what should be there but DREAM WEAVER! second on the list of six or so books!!!! Now, it's just hurry up and wait until September when they announce the winners. AND...I also found out both books have been added to the movie consideration list with Wind Dancer Films!</div>

<br />
<b>FINALLY!</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With summer well underway, sales of both books have increased! It's not enough to retire on, but I cannot complain. And the final book of the Dream Weaver series, that is currently tentatively entitled <b><i>Breaking Normal</i></b>, is right on target for an end of July launch! It's in the hands of the beta readers at this point and the covers for both <i>Rock Star</i> and <i>Breaking Normal</i> are getting their polish on from Aussie friend <a href="https://plus.google.com/103185833613870165217/about" target="_blank">Paul G Day</a>. I'm posting the mock ups below, but don't count on it being the final product. </div>

<b>THANK YOU</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can't express enough how much it means to me that you've voiced your appreciation for my writing. And while my fan base is not astronomical, I cherish each of you who have read my books, left glowing reviews, posted and tweeted for me, and contacted me personally!!! You're the ones clamoring for more, and that has encouraged me more than anything. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you also to the 700+ members of <a href="http://asmsg.weebly.com/" target="_blank">Author's Social Media Support Group</a> and dozens of other authors around the world that have networked with me and taught me so much, especially in the last year. The indie author community is one of the most supportive groups I've ever met; and I hope some day I'll get to meet a few of you that I've grown close to. Special thanks to: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/khalid.muhammad" target="_blank">Khalid Muhammad</a> for all things geek-speak; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/christophffischer?fref=ts" target="_blank">Christoph Fischer</a> for always having an encouraging word and posting pics of the cutest darn puppies!; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JimColdwellBanker?fref=ts" target="_blank">James Moser</a> for encouragement regarding the title of the final book and beta reading for me; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AuthorPaulGDay?fref=ts" target="_blank">Paul G Day</a> for just being you and your help with the book covers; and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/biologywilson?fref=ts" target="_blank">Mark Wilson</a>, also a beta reader and for helping me keep my head on straight in my last week's of panic in finishing this project. To <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.delvisco?fref=ts" target="_blank">Jenny Loveless</a>, whose name does not represent you, and always being the one to keep things in perspective. Also to my family: Ben, Sarah, Josiah, Jack and Aundraic. And above everything, thank you to my beloved Mom & Dad, you're the best, my #1 supporters, and I love you dearly!!!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And thank you to all of you who stop by to say hi! I know I say that almost every post, but I really want you to know that it means a lot to me that you take the time to come and visit. Honestly, you could be out darning your socks or something, so I really appreciate it.</div>
<br />
<b>BREAKING NORMAL</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Barring any unforeseen issues, the final book will be released by July 31st! Keep your fingers crossed or pray or think happy thoughts. Whatever it is that you do to make the magic happen.</div>
And as always...<br />
Dare to Dream!<br />

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403239857214_2018" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm a little skittish when it comes to reading stories about
Bigfoot...always thought it was a bit of bunk. But Moser writes a
believable tale that isn't necessarily about Bigfoot. It's about some
ordinary kids who have the misfortune of falling into trouble and the
fortune of having a Sasquatch guardian. I was very impressed with this
well-told story. It's basic framework is structured like To Kill A
Mockingbird...a clever concept. Moser is a captivating story teller.
Definitely a 5 star hit!</span></div>

dEaDINBURGH in exchange for an honest review. I tried very hard to ensure that

reading the book, I was very mindful of spamming people. I have to say, I’ve
met some lovely people from that exercise but wouldn’t do the same for every

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thank you. dEaDINBURGH began as an image of a baby born onto the
cobbles of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh and went from there. I wanted to set a
book in the city I live in. It’s a stunningly beautiful place, very gothic with
its alleys and underground streets and so rich with history. I figured that as
cities go, it was a hugely atmospheric city to trap people in and started
writing. dEaDINBURGH is a bit of a departure for me in terms of writing style
and genre, but I haven’t stuck within a single genre yet and don’t intend to
anytime soon. More on that later.</span></span><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></b></span></div>

one or two main characters, then start writing. As the story unfolds, the

said that, although I don’t write to a genre, Scottish writers tend to have a
certain voice in their novels, an irreverence and passion; there’s no escaping
that for me. As writers, Scots seem to love and loathe their home towns in
equal measures but defend those communities to the end. All but one of my books
is set, initially at least, in my hometown of Bellshill, Lanarkshire. These
books will be collected in an omnibus titled Lanarkshire Strays in July 2014

marketing, that is placing the books in the most visible places and making them
as discoverable within the UK market as possible, but promoting can sometimes
be a little extreme and over-enthusiastic from Indie-authors. I try to market
properly and get other people to promote for me by running competitions and
sharing links etc so as to keep the brand I’m building visible but not sicken
people with constant promo.</span></span><b id="yui_3_7_2_1_1402889331466_4310"><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1402889331466_4309" lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1402889331466_4308" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></b></span></div>

am originally from Montana, having grown up in a tiny lumber mill town.
I began writing at an early age, which isn't unusual. I know a lot of
writers say that. It's true, though. I have books from when I was seven
or eight years old which I wrote, illustrated and bound with yarn. Maybe
a precursor to being an indie writer. My first real writing, though,
came when I bought an electric typewriter at a school auction when I was
twelve. I was obsessed with <a href="http://www.sherlockholmesonline.org/SherlockHolmes/" target="_blank">Sherlock Holmes</a> at the time, and I started
writing mystery stories. It was all downhill from there. I never really
stopped.</span></span></i>

I was going to write Jenny Undead as a comedy about a cheerleader that
finds herself zombified. But as I started fleshing out the world and the
characters, it became very apparent that this was not a comedy. And
Jenny was anything but a cheerleader. </span></span></i></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>I
didn't really have a specific inspiration for the book. I've always sort
of wanted to write about a zombie antihero. And I wanted a world that
was full of chaos and anarchy. You see so many zombie books where it's
all about rape and killing other survivors. I didn't want that. I wanted
to show how humanity would find a shaky sense of order no matter what
happened in the world, no matter how devolved society became. I may
touch on some of the darker survivors later in the series, but it will
never be the focus. </i></span></span></div>

But I've come to realize that these sites are not what is important.
They're the golden feather. The writing always needs to come first.
Before martketing, before social media, before blogging. The best
advertising is the next book, so I try to just keep my nose to the
grindstone and write as much as possible. In the past three years I've
written eight books, so I guess it's working.</span></span></i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></span></div>

rudimentary timelines, and sometimes I do in-depth outlines if the book

outline Jenny Undead but it kept jumping the fence, so to speak. I often
just do an outline to get started and then let the characters take the

<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I mainly write in the dark fantasy
genre, but I also write sci-fi and horror. My most popular series is the
Niki Slobodian series which is sort of a dark, twisty urban fantasy.
After the Fire is the first book in a fantasy series about a group of
gods in a world that has been largely destroyed. And Jenny Undead is, of
course, the first book in The Thirteen series, which is about a group
of people that survived horrific experiments as children which enables
them to survive the zombie apocalypse. </span></span></i><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I
listen to music a lot when writing. I'm a big fan of <a href="https://www.spotify.com/us/" target="_blank">Spotify</a>, and I make
a playlist for each book I write, which I then listen to over and over
while writing. Much of my plotting or the big, intense climaxes are
written to classical or intense instrumental music. But the actual
writing is to a lot of rock and roll usually. The playlist for Jenny
Undead naturally had a lot of punk rock music, where my Niki Slobodian
series generally has slower, more intense music.</span></span></i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1402294935494_6804" style="color: black;"> </span></span></span></div>

Any author pet peeves?</span></span></span><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I
have a checkered past. I used to go to a lot of punk rock shows before I
cleaned up and went back to school. I studied Forensic Anthropology for
a long time before settling on Creative Writing. My family and I live
in Hawaii now, which can be fun, though I find myself complaining about
the sun way too much. I'm a rainy day and cup of tea kind of girl when
you get right down to it.</span></span></i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My
pet peeve is people putting out books that are not ready for public
consumption. As indies we have to be careful, and despite popular
opinion there is still a stigma attached. We need to be putting really
amazing fiction out there. When someone reads a terrible book with plot
holes and spelling errors and bad formatting, it can sour them for indie
writers permanently. Don't do this. Hire an editor, a proofreader, and a
formatter. Find some beta readers that aren't related to you. It can be
expensive, but it will be worth it in the long run. I've tended to run
my career like a small business. You wouldn't open a store that had
insulation sticking out of the walls. Don't publish a book that isn't
ready.</span></span> </i></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>Great question. <b>Thank you.</b> Yeah, this book started with an idea about writing a
character based on my all time fave lit. character: Boo Radley. I love
how he kind of dominates that book w/o ever speaking a word and is
on-stage for just a handful of scenes, and one big one at the end.
That's very Bigfoot-ish. I live in the Bigfoot sighting capital of the
world, Western Washington, and it's amazing how much energy people put
into this topic. Like: he's more powerful by what we DON'T see. I
love that idea. It's really a different kind of faith--very powerful.
Going deeper than that would spoil everyone's fave scenes in the book,
so I'll leave it at that. :) </i> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm a little skittish when it comes to reading
stories about Bigfoot...always thought it was a bit of bunk. But Moser
writes a believable tale that isn't necessarily about Bigfoot. It's
about some ordinary kids who have the misfortune of falling into trouble
and the fortune of having a Sasquatch guardian. I was very impressed
with this well-told story. It's basic framework is structured like To
Kill A Mockingbird...a clever concept. Moser is a captivating story
teller. Definitely a 5 star hit!</span></span></div>

And thanks to all of you who come to visit me each week and spend a little time getting to know some of the indie authors that grace the literary stage.</span><br />

Both books are affordable...and a steal...at $0.99, but the combo deal is just $1.49. Where else can you get 2 books for less than 75 cents each? Stop by and check them out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>ON TO THE EVENT</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The next part of this event, you get to hear from little old me regarding my writing process. So here goes: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1) What am I working on?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> <i>Right now, I'm working on the final book in the Dream Weaver Series called Private Eye. I've been thinking while I'm writing that the title may not stick. Guess I'll have to see as it progresses. I just got a tweet from a fan tonight asking about the tentative June release. In order to put out my best work I'm capable of, that deadline may be moved back to July.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />2) How does my work differ from others of its genre?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> <i>There's been some discussion as to whether Dream Weaver is a </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtBcNQrTIGHv6jLMX8uQcktT0ej3Vf_lfn8CWGZ1Enx4L0aysxVwPf-H0n9126vSQMGHIUEWDwGaCeuwrfsSGfh_GXNW0vI6AaI_cwIwQQRB8PFYt56h3x5qpq3bqa9SMULP-w981hnwI/s1600/Dream+Weaver+cover+cropped+final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtBcNQrTIGHv6jLMX8uQcktT0ej3Vf_lfn8CWGZ1Enx4L0aysxVwPf-H0n9126vSQMGHIUEWDwGaCeuwrfsSGfh_GXNW0vI6AaI_cwIwQQRB8PFYt56h3x5qpq3bqa9SMULP-w981hnwI/s1600/Dream+Weaver+cover+cropped+final.jpg" height="200" width="132" /></a></i></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>'paranormal romance.' One camp told me, if the story doesn't end 'happily ever after' it's not romance. Others say 'bah, humbug.' There's an element of romance. But I guess the truly different thing about my work is that I tend to be a little dark, a little morbid. I didn't shy away from hard subjects like rape and PTSD. I tried to be very diplomatic about it and handle the subjects with kid gloves...or is it kit gloves?</i></span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">3) Why do I write what I do?</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> <i>I've always been drawn toward stories of vampires and such, including research I did in high school about Vlad Dracula. So that I landed writing paranormal isn't much of a surprise. A lot of writing teachers say to 'write what you read.' And I guess I always felt more, I don't know, comfortable reading YA over Adult. So I write YA paranormal because that's what I read and am most comfortable with.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">4) How does my writing process work?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> <i> I swore to myself when I started my third book that I was going to outline and organize and...Yeah, right. My books don't present themselves to me in linear fashion, so drawing up an outline was like pulling teeth, without Novocain or laughing gas. What's the fun in that? Typically, once I'm settled in for the night, someone will want to be heard and tell what they want to do in an upcoming scene. And it's not necessarily in chronological order. Usually, the end is the one the first things I write and I've discovered recently that's not a bad thing. It's very freeing to know the end of a story and then figure out how you got there. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i> After I write all the scenes that have been whispered in my ears, then I lace them all together and I have a rough draft. Then, I do several edits; checking grammar, punctuation, spelling, word usage, story line, plot holes, suggestions from beta readers...Typically, I spend more time in edits than on the original draft. So, there you have it...my erratic, sporadic writing process. Thanks for listening!</i></span></div>
