I Am Not Broken: A Pantser’s Manifesto
January 9, 2014 by 2 Comments
A few years ago I wrote this and it got a huge response. I feel the need to repost it today for reasons. Over the last couple weeks I’ve seen several blogs/articles about “fixing” pantsers or written by “reformed” pantsers … one even “how to save a pantser” (wish I’d marked that one) – Lots of great ways to make people who have been pantsing successfully stop and become something else. Something that they may not truly be. Let {Read More}

It’s 1/2 way down the page under YOUNG ADULT/Contemp Romance HERE. On that note, thank you to {Read More}
Goodreads Similar Author Links
December 30, 2013 by Leave a Comment
My readers ROCK. Apparently on Goodreads if you click on “similar authors” for my books/me nothing comes up. I think we all know I’m just not that unique (although a message that says “No one is like Bria” would have been fun.) So, a reader emailed support about why her link didn’t work. Talk about above and beyond. This is Goodread’s response (which Reader emailed to me) and I found it really interesting so I thought I’d share: Thanks for {Read More}
Books You Might Not Hear About bc the YA Rita Was Canceled
December 11, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Yes, that’s a long title, but unfortunately it’s true. The YA RITA category was canceled due to not making the 5% minimum of the all the entries. And yet, every year people find some of their favorite new reads by watching that list. I’ve had a few readers ask me who they can email. Unfortunately, that’s just the rules and it is what it is. BUT, wow. Readers. How much do I love readers! People have been asking me how {Read More}

Reboot of Self-Publishing Musts for Starting Out
November 21, 2013 by 1 Comment
I wrote this over two years ago when I was young and naive…. ahhhhh. The good-old days. But, since it still gets hits, I figured I should update it. A lot of things have changed (some for real, and some just my opinion) and so, here goes: The thing is, I’m still a newbie in most ways. I still work my day job about 60 hours a week and squeeze writing life in as much as I can. I’m not {Read More}
Speaking of fanbases….
November 20, 2013 by 9 Comments
I’ve been noticing something lately. There have been some key writers who basically are continuously saying “Yeah, I’m awesome. My books rock” (that would be a direct quote said completely seriously by someone to me in a bar) and their own confidence is either: self-fulfilling; or completely justified But, it’s one of those things that has me thinking… Do I need to portray my confidence in my stories more? Because, the truth is, I love my characters and their stories. {Read More}
Getting Strong To Be Strong – A Heroine’s Journey
November 19, 2013 by 1 Comment
If you’ve been around awhile, you know I went Indie with my sweet adult Rom Coms over 2 years ago. I’d known I wanted to understand the self-publishing world since I believed we were moving more and more toward a publishing paradigm. And, I loved it. I loved the whole darn thing…even when it stressed me out. During this time, I was also following the path to Traditional publication with my agent for my YA books. That year I was {Read More}
