There are times when I think I am a bit slow. There are other times when I KNOW I am, but that is a story for another time. As you well know, I talk about networking…a LOT! What I haven’t really mentioned is that when you meet one person, it is a great idea to also learn who they know. Allow me to illustrate my point. A few weeks ago, I received an email from Ian at Deux Voiliers Publishing. He had stumbled acrossGet Publishedand asked if I would be interested in interviewing some of Deux Voiliers’ authors. I am always looking for guest so I said yes. I also asked him if he would appear so I could get […]

Get Published Episode 102 – Nicole Chardenet Brings Laughs to Love
You may not know this, but I have been looking for guests who write outside the normal featured genres on Get Published. Traditionally, I have had lots of Science Fiction and Fantasy writers with the occasional Horror person thrown in for good measure.

Everyone who has ever participated in anything has thought about excelling at that anything and being recognized for their brilliance. That’s not a broad, sweeping and generalized statement, is it? Still, I think it’s true. If you were a great speller in school, you wanted the teacher to give you a gold star for your work. When you participated in sports, you wanted to win the championship. When you played Monopoly, you tried to win the game. And so it is with writing. When I started writing, I hoped that one day I would win awards for my work and gain fame and wealth for it too. I put the awards and accolades more as back pocket priorities, but they […]
