  • Introducing Debut Author May Bridges!!

    Jun 29, 2017

    I still remember the day I first read May Bridges’ Killing June.  My family was snowed in that day.  I made my husband bundle up the kids and take them out to play, and I did not get up from my couch until I read the first word to the last.  It’s sexy, it’s suspenseful and […]

  • Everyone Starts Somewhere

    Jun 28, 2017

    At some point we all started somewhere. We all put that first word on the page, wrote our first query, and submitted to our first agent.

      Congrats to Laura Brown on the release of FRIEND (WITH BENEFITS) ZONE! I’m ridiculously attracted to my best friend. Today is a bad day. The worst actually.

    Jun 27, 2017

    In my post on Interview Tips and Tricks I was asked a few questions about the importance or value of a thank you note. While I don’t think a thank you is required after a rejection on a submission, I do think anytime someone goes that extra mile, or you’ve made it to the next […]

  • The One Mistake Agented Authors Make

    Jun 22, 2017

    Before authors are agented they spend a lot of time learning and networking. Conferences are for fun, but they are primarily to attend workshops  and pitch sessions to meet agents (and editors). One of the biggest mistakes an agented author makes is deciding that none of that is necessary now that you have an agent. […]
