Sony and their greed
Sony is showing it's true colors and showing that they will push the little people around to get to the big artist who make them the most money. Don't let this happen to you! This is totally insane and I can bet you if the author was getting them more money than the singer than they would be on the author's side. …See More
"Some blogs have questions to answer and others have you do a blog. When someone does a tour on my blog I have six questions they answer and I post their cover and an excerpt if they want."
"I think every author should do a virtual tour. It lets you get the word out about your books and you get to see how others do their blogs. It does take some time but I think it's worth it. I use a PR site to set up my blogs and then they just…"
"I think as a writer you are proud of your product and never want to make it look cheap in anyway. I have learned in this business you have to sometimes stand at a door and beg to be let in but do it with your head held high and proud. I'm from…"
"T.D. Jones has offically hit the local Hastings. I took books, signed paperwork and now they are making room on the local author table."
"I take tid bits and give my characters those traits but never base someone on a character. I think if you base a character fully on someone you know and they or others recongize that person you are putting yourself in a place you might not want…"
"I think alot of us write the same concept of a story but it's where you take the characters during the story that makes it your own. "
"Just got two contract offers so I'm got my writing planned out for 2012! Now if I can just keep it going for years to come!"
"I rarely outline. I know the title and the name of the main character. If the story is good then the characters will sit beside me and pretty much take over. I'm just there to type it out. I even had a character stop talking because I was…"

What do you write? Romance/Family Drama/Mystery
What subjects do you write about? Sweet Romance, funny family drama, funny mysteries. Most of all my books have humor in them
Are you represented? If so, by whom? No.
Have you been published? Yes
If published, please tell us about it. I'm an author with Melange-books, XoXo Publishing and New Dawning Bookfair Publisher. I have 7 published/ released books and more due to be released in 2013. My books can be found at Amazon, BN and most all other online bookstores
What are you working on now? I'm working on a book called Summerhouse Blues which is a comedy mystery and my Tootles McGee Mysteries. I usually have at least three books going at one time. Writing, outlines and just making notes on something.

Tell us about some of your favorite books, television shows or movies? For books I love Janet Evanovich and Debbie Macomber.
TV I love Hot In Cleveland and Sex In The City.
Movies- You've got mail, Cold Mountain, How to lose a guy in ten days
What are your thoughts about publishing? I think publishing changes constantly and as a writer you have to flow with it. Like e-readers, they are here to stay and as writers it is a great time for us to get more stories out there. I've never had a problem with any of my publishers due to I believe writing is team work, without one you can't have to other.
Can we quote you? Give us your favorite quote or saying. You can make it up or share one from someone you admire. This is from Tootles McGee from my Tootles McGee mystery series.
"Men are like carnival rides, you never know what you are going to get until you ride one!"

In less than two weeks I have had two agents request two different books. Why is it when an agent e-mails and ask for my book all I can think about doing is throwing up. I'm a published author five times over and a publisher can e-mail all day and never once does my stomach do a flip flop but agents are a whole different world to me. In my mind it's only were the best get to hang out and talk to the ones that we place so high above. They can either change your life or break you at the…

I’ve been given the chance to put my books in my local library and I couldn’t be more excited. I know to some writers this might not be a big thing but to me it means the highest status a writer can be offered.
As a child when I entered the library it was if I had just entered a whole new world. Seeing shelves and shelves of books excited me beyond belief. I really believe it was in there among all those books that I decided writing was what I wanted to do.
I love the idea of…
