Finding Your Voice

Posted on by

I have read a lot of writing advice that says you should write in your own unique ‘voice’. But, what the heck IS your own voice? How do you find it and how do you recognize it when you see it? Those are questions I have asked myself many times and, I suspect, some of you have too. It wasn’t until a few nights ago that I think I finally saw the light. I was mulling over what should be the next scene in one of my books and how I was going to present my characters in it when I realized that I actually know what my voice is. The revelation actually came when I threw away the whole notion […]

Get Published Episode 132 – Jessub Flower Builds His Platform

Posted on by

I am always on the lookout to learn something new – maybe a new way to grow my author’s platform or market my books. That’s why I love talking to different authors about what they are doing. One such author is Jessub Flower who is using his debut novel, Daisy Hill to do all of those things: promote, market and try to get a publishing deal.

Life’s a Beach

Posted on by

I’ve been looking forward to March for a while. That’s because I set a deadline to finish my first round of edits on Mik Murdoch: The Power Within for my editor. It is also because it looks like JR Murdock (no relation to Mik Murdoch – I wrote the book before I knew JR)  and I will be tackling revisions on our book, Jack Kane and the Statue of Liberty. Those sound like good things, right? Except, now that I’m in March, I’m finding that I suddenly have a lot of demands on my time. Demands that don’t necessarily improve my ability to write and revise. C’est la vie, c’est la guerre, c’est écrit. It could be much worse, I […]
