    That elusive Spark...

    It happens to all of us. I too may be well off the mark here but my first impressions upon reading your idea we're, " wow that sounds cool," but quickly followed by, "I would get bored writing it." The reason I thought that was although the sisters are all experiencing different things, they...

    Only Stones Remain - Cover reveal trailer

    6 books in and I am still very poor at advertising my novels.

    Writing in Public

    I'm not a lover of coffee but one of my favourite things to do is to go to Starbucks first thing in the morning and write for an hour whilst sipping coffee. There is something about the ambience that I love. Other favourite venues are country pubs and golf club houses. I like somewhere that is...

    You Are Too Funny.

    Sometimes the comedy comes from how the straight laced characters react to the comic relief. For instance, if the bard makes an inappropriate comment at a sensitive time, have everyone turn away and leave the room leaving the bard to his embarrassment could be amusing. Or maybe, the widower...

    Self-Publishing support group?

    I'd say go for it but be prepared for the hard work to start as soon as you publish. Getting noticed is the hardest thing to do but nothing beats the feeling of the first sale and first 5 star review on Amazon. Good luck.
