It's a Business

I think what many authors tend to either forget or not realize in the first place is that publishing is a business.

Sh*t My Characters Say: A Word or Three on Dialogue

I see dead people.
Okay. So not really.
However, I do hear imaginary ones. Lots of them.
They talk in my head.
All. The. Time.
 
I can barely hear myself think with the incessant jabbering going on…

Book Review: "A Woman's Touch-11 Short Stories of Murder and Misdeamors" by Sniplits Publishing

 

Like the anthology "Killer Fiction: 11 Short Stories of Killers, Fixers, and P.I.’s" the anthology does not waste time with an introduction of some type. While the "Killer Fiction" anthology had a decidedly noir bent in style, "A Woman’s Touch- 11 Short Stories of Murder and Misdemeanors" anthology is much more on the cozy side of reading with some stories being very predictable for seasoned mystery readers.

This anthology published by Sniplits…

Green Pen Writers' Conference, Frankenmuth, MI

So it's almost April (with its shoures soote) and I'm looking forward to the active part of the year. All winter I focused on writing, managing to finish Book #3 of the Simon & Elizabeth series and Book #2 of the Dead Detective series. I'm at work on Book #3, but author appearances are starting to emerge. There were two in March, and from there on, the calendar starts to look like a dartboard, with towns and times scribbled all over the place.

The interesting date this month…

Interview: Author Vincent Zandri

One of my favorite authors is Ernest Hemingway. As I prepared to interview our guest—international bestselling novelist Vincent Zandri—I could not help but make comparisons between these two men. Both men traveled extensively in Europe, loved to write, spent an awful lot of time in…

If An Author Sounds Dumb Sometimes...

Yesterday a man said to me, "My wife really likes your new book." He couldn't recall the title, but she'd said it was totally different from everything else she'd read of mine. I formed a theory from that and was just about to say the title when he said, "It's the one that takes place in Grand Rapids." Oh, THE DEAD DETECTIVE AGENCY.

Not the one I was thinking of at all. That book came out last April, and there have been so many on my mind in the time between that it seems really…
