Stop the bashing!

I have heard of a secret Goodreads group for authors where the current hot topic is reviewers. I didn’t join because the premise sounded ludicrous: How to deal with broken promises of reviews/interviews with no explanation after sending free reads for that purpose. Should we post these reviewers/blogs/bloggers or not to alert our fellow authors? [...]

Review Friday

Ahem… your usually organized blogger sometimes picks up the wrong date, which means that yesterday for about 30 minutes you had a glimpse of today’s post… So I better change it a little! I obviously had time to catch up on some reading… the first still being a printed PDF, the second read on Kindle! [...]

Authors helping authors

How was your weekend? Mine was productive, but but but… the heat is on again, so I’m a sloth again. A few Writing World newsletters ago I saw a link  advertised about New Book Journal – that was back in July, so I kept it for my latest release, which I knew would be out [...]

daily prompt and shortlisted

I’m shortlisted as a finalist at JC’s Birthday Bash Blogfest! Go and vote, you have time until tomorrow! (and no, I won’t hate you if you prefer somebody else’s entry – that’s what I did, after all! ) That was a fun challenge, writing exactly 100 words… The daily prompts weren’t really inspiring except the [...]

Book review – Legacy of Ghosts by Joleene Naylor

Official review: it’s good to be back in this world, even if Katelina is sometimes annoyingly stupid… but then, no conflict/wrong choices/stupid reactions, no story, right? Looking forward to the third book… Ahem… should I elaborate on that? OK, it means a lot of repeating of the review of the first book. And I probably [...]

Linky Friday

Wah, two more weeks gone already? OK, again some of these links are that old, but I thought I’d share them anyway… Literary Lab went to a Neil Gaiman reading. Quite an experience, apparently! A list of stuff an author (or the publisher???) should do by Prue Batten – how many did you check on [...]

Saturday links – mostly on Borders

OK, Saturday again. Time is really flying! Eek! From the Blood-Red Pencil ladies, here’s how to pull yourself back from the cliff. Don’t jump yet, there is still hope if you follow this excellent advice! Clarion defines different kinds of readers – I guess historical fiction caters to the same audience of SF/F (according to [...]
