Douglas R Brown — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:42:24 PST

As my second novel launches on Thursday, Jan. 26, 2012, I am realizing something interesting about myself and this entire publishing process.

Some of my fellow authors have blogged recently on the subject of editing and, with the second book of my Artesans of Albia series, King’s Champion, nearing this process, I thought I would add my own thoughts.

~The WALL~

Candace Bowen Early — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 09:07:48 PST

‘Arty Time!

Steven D. Jackson — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 09:24:26 PST

Things are beginning to get exciting…Shifter is moving towards publication and we’ve been thinking about cover art work.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished in the Fire Service

Douglas R Brown — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:24:29 PST

There are several techniques that authors use for coming up with the names of their characters. Some authors use names of people they have no connections with. Some look through baby name books or use names from the credits of their favorite movies. While others, including me, use names of people we know. In my [...]

~Setting The Record Straight~

Candace Bowen Early — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:18:28 PST

I am writing this blog to set the record straight. Being a Rhemalda Publishing author with two books contracted with them, I felt the need to speak out on their behalf.

It’s about time

Brian Blocker — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:43:26 PST

My novel, Subliminal, had been out of my hands for a long time. It was accepted in the Spring of last year for publication in February of this year. That left me with a lot of time to write, which I used. There were meetings and conversations about covers and release dates, but on the [...]

My New eReader and Its Evil, Twisted, Conniving Hold on My Heart

T. J. Robinson — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:06:38 PST

Confession time – I got a Nook Tablet for Christmas this year, and I really, really, really wanted to hate it.

Past Perfect

Alexandra MacKenzie — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:39:36 PST

Why write historical fiction? I’ll give you one big advantage to it: no cell phones! Seriously, my first novel, though a fantasy, was set in contemporary Britain, and by the time I’d managed to find a publisher, the technology of “contemporary” had changed. Did I need to go back through the whole manuscript searching for [...]

I’ll get to that whole library thing and Megan Fox’s subsequent non-injury in a moment, but first I’d like to talk about my new Kindle. Yup, I just got myself a Kindle and this thing is paying vast benefits already. One of the great advantages is that it allows me to get caught up on [...]

The Rookie Report: Firsts

Annie Laurie Cechini — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:39:56 PST

Hello! I’m tempting the fates by setting up my first blog post on Friday the 13th, but hey. I’m feeling daring.

As the newest member of the [...]

Layering

J. B. Chicoine — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:40:04 PST

When I’ve been concentrating on writing and get to the point where I’m not sure how to develop a character or plot twist, I often find it refreshing to take a break and set up my watercolors. The truth is, I write with a painter’s eye, and paint from a writer’s perspective, and so one [...]

The LOOK

Candace Bowen Early — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:41:27 PST

Recently my family had a small impromptu celebration for the release of my latest novel, Spur of the Moment.

My mom has [...]

Expect Unusual Excitements.

Cas Peace — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:41:37 PST

You would be forgiven for thinking that having your first book published is the epitome of excitement, that it doesn’t get any better than that. And, in many ways, you’d be right.

New Years Eve, Hot Chocolate and a Book

Rhemalda Publishing — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:25:31 PST

Some people prefer large parties where drinks and kisses are handed out freely.

Do you see my recurring theme here? Loud event, drinks [...]
