A Minor Exception

I usually don’t promote other books or blogs because then I get inundated, and it takes away from writing/editing/subbing and doing my own posts. But, I will on occasion when it benefits both parties. This is one of those times.

Blog, Blog, Blog

In addition to doing guest posts on other blogs occasionally, I’m a regular contributor for two other blogs.

One is YA Outside the Lines, https://yaoutsidethelines.blogspot.com/ which is a blog created by Holly Schindler and written by young adult authors, teachers, librarians, and others interested in the young adult book community. I post on the twelfth of every month. The blog writers agree on monthly themes. This month the theme was “finding your voice” or “world issues.” I chose voice because, frankly world issues is a tough subject for me now.

The other blog is Smack Dab in the Middle, https://smack-dab-in-the-middle.blogspot.com/ also created by Holly Schindler, for those interested in the middle grade book community. I blog on the twenty-eighth or twenty-nineth of every month. The theme for this month is “using a word or phrase to inspire both a photograph and post. In February, our words are “shadows and highlights.” I haven’t done my post for February yet, so check back.

And Then There’s…This

And of course you know I write my own blog. I’m not always consistent because those other blogs have to take priority; I made promises to do my part to the other writers and Holly. Then comes my novel/short story writing/editing/subbing. After that comes social media and this blog.

So you have many places to see what’s happening and read my thoughts. Don’t be afraid to drop a line about any questions you’d like answered (sorry, I don’t give out my credit card number or want to invest in bitcoin), a topic you want to suggest, or just to chat.

Currently, I have four novels out on submission: The Frankenstein Vendetta (horror/sci fi/thriller), Ripples on Water (contemporary fantasy), The Excalibur Vow (fantasy, time travel, magic), and Christmas Bells, Hanukkah Lights (holiday romance). A short story, That cottage in the Woods (fantasy/fairy tale), will be published shortly, more details to come. I’m finishing up the last book in a romance series by doing #JeRoWriMo (Jersey Romance Writing Month). After that, I’ll be spending most of my time editing that series and querying, although I have a young adult novel I want to finish writing over the summer.
