Finding the Motivation to Start Writing: Guest Post and Giveaway from Susannah Scott, author of Stop Dragon My Heart Around

I’m so excited to have Susannah Scott here today, talking about writing and the latest novel in her Las Vegas Dragons series, Stop Dragon My Heart Around! (You can find my review here.) Hi, Becky, Thank you so much for having me on your blog today to talk about finding the motivation to start writing. I’m the grateful mother of 3 small boys. They came in rapid succession because my hub and I were too busy enjoying DINK life, we ran-out my biological clock. Those baby years were hard and I started reading a ton, but the heavy stuff was too emotionally taxing.…

Stop Dragon My Heart Around by Susannah Scott Review: When I finished the first book in the Las Vegas Dragons series, Luck of the Dragon, I was already anxious to read Leo and Tee’s story. Stop Dragon My Heart Around definitely did not disappoint. In fact, I think I like book two better than book one! For one thing, it definitely doesn’t hurt that Leo is described as looking like Thor. You know, THOR. “It’s…

Magical puberty has got to be so much worse than the regular kind… Thank you both for agreeing to be with us today! What 5 things should readers know about you? Rhiannon: Let me see…I have three teenagers in my family, so I listened in on a lot of their conversations to make the voices in The Midnight Spell authentic. I live in Texas, so the setting of the story felt natural. I’ve been writing since I was ten years old, but I didn’t become a professional writer until 2008. The Midnight Spell is my first foray into YA, but I…

Why Do I Like the Villain? Guest Post and Giveaway from Aderonke Moyinlorun (When Love Hurts)

 I’d like to welcome Aderonke Moyinlorun here today to talk about villains–and her latest book, When Love Hurts!   Why do I like the Villain? As a writer, I find that villains/antagonists are not easy to write. It’s like leaving a part of myself and becoming someone else. Of course, that is what a writer does when he writes every character, but writing a villain is even more challenging. Let me explain. Bad guys think bad things and do evil things because it’s in their nature. But in most cases, those bad things are not in the writer’s nature. Creating…
