Every once in a while there’s a question that comes up a lot from readers. Just the fact that readers ask me questions is exciting, but I thought I’d take a second to answer this 1-that’s-really-3. With The Last Single Girl free through Amazon Select right now, people have been wondering if it’s the beginning of a series. Another question people ask is “When are we getting more Ben & Jenna??” And a few very, very, very observant readers have {Read More}
2014 RWA Rita: The Year With No YA
March 25, 2014 by 3 Comments
As you probably don’t know (unless you follow a select number of YA writers on twitter) the RWA YA RITA category was canceled this year due to not making the 5% minimum of all the entries. I have several questions about how entries are logged, but was never able to track down any answers for you. I would like to say that, while I love RWA and respect all they do in the writing community…while my membership definitely taught me {Read More}

Indie Panel – Introductions
February 13, 2014 by Leave a Comment
I’m really excited about what’s going on for the next couple weeks. REALLY excited. I have blackmailed 9 successful indie/hybrid authors into answering a bunch of questions I’d received through twitter, comments, and emails about self-publishing. Instead of seeing one author go through all the answers, we’re going to cover 1-2 questions a day so you can see a bunch of varied responses at once. No one does everything the same, right? I know from experience that ALL of the {Read More}
Self-Publishing Panel Questions Opportunity
February 6, 2014 by Leave a Comment
I’m attempting to put together a panel of Successful Indie Authors to answer question readers and writer may have. I would love your input. If you could ask someone who is doing well self-publishing anything, what would it be. Some questions we’ve had so far: About how much time do you spend/day on promotion? Do you specifically look for self-published books to read for leisure? Favorite resources…workshops, nonfiction books, conferences…:-) How do you know what kind of editor to use? {Read More}
