Writerly Wednesday Welcomes J. Q. Rose
1. What is your favorite marketing task that has resulted in a sale?
Two years ago when my first mystery Sunshine Boulevard was released, I handed out postcards, but instead of selling the e-book, I had to explain what an e-book was! Now with my latest release, Coda to Murder, I hand out cards and people grab them and put them inside their Kindle, Nook, iPad folders so they can order it!! Okay, I honestly don’t know how many sales result in this, but I have a feeling I have had several sales with this very personal contact with readers. Continue reading

Writerly Wednesday Interview with Olga Godim
4. Are you a plotter or a pantser when you are writing?
Definitely a plotter. I need an outline, need to know where the story is going before I start writing: not the details but the general direction. But even more, I need characters. I can’t even think about a plot until I know who it all happened to. I need to know how my characters look, their names, their families. I have dozens of plot twists in my ‘Ideas’ folder, but they all are just raw material. Until I see my characters in my mind, I can’t write about them. Besides, in any plot situation, different characters react differently. Continue reading

5. Do you write in a bubble or do you prefer critique groups, writing buddies or other companionship during the process?
No one is allowed to see my work until the story is finished. I want people’s opinions on the entire book. That’s usually how I judge things myself. I like to look at the characters, the plot and the ending before I make an overall decision about whether I liked it or not. So I want people to be able to see the completed work before they tell me what they think.

Writerly Wednesday Welcomes Kay Kendall
3. What do you have under your bed?
Under my bed is a collection of shoes that does not fit into my other three closets. Of course, what happens is that I forget about those under the bed and think that I need to go out and buy more shoes. It is an endless cycle. There are also dust bunnies under my bed, but in the second bedroom my husband and I have the real thing—live house rabbits. They make marvelous pets. One of them, Dusty, is pictured with me in my author’s photo. He’s an angora, which is why his ears aren’t as long as most breeds. He was chosen because he was able to sit still and pose far longer than our other four bunnies could. Dusty is now prideful, and the others are miffed. They are already lobbying hard to be in the next photo shoot. Continue reading

Writerly Wednesday Welcomes Angie Skelhorn
By the use of divination and magic, some ties can never be severed.
In the beginning, by the light of the Full Moon, Frankie connects with Candice’s energy through dream time and witnesses her involvement in a terrifying act of violence. After receiving information from Sandra that their childhood friend is missing, they pack their bags and head to the inner city to find her.
Frankie, afraid for her own safety, has a chance encounter with a local named Calvin who is plugged into what’s happening. Using his workable ideas—as well as Frankie and Sandra consulting tarot, ordinary playing cards, astrology, and spell-casting—they set forth to free Candice from the dangerous situation she is in.
