Author Juliette Hyland Talks About Her Inspiration for THE PEDIATRICIAN’S TWIN BOMBSHELL (with a giveaway!)

Published by beckymmoe on 06/03/2021

Believe it or not, the strangest place I’ve ever gotten inspiration for a book was while watching a woman in a video rip the high heels off her feet and throwing them into the trash on an Instagram video. I loved this video! I mean I think most women have put on shoes they thought were super cute only to find out they were actually evil toe crunchers. From this video the opening lines of The Pediatrician’s Twin Bombshell was born. DR. TESSA GARCIA leaned against the bar and slid the back of her heel out of the four-inch peep-toe…

Abbie Roads, Author of CAPTURING FATE, Reveals the Best and Worst Writing Advice She’s Ever Gotten (plus a Giveaway!)

Published by beckymmoe on 05/13/2021

The best writing advice I ever got was… JUST DO IT. Back in 2009, when I finally decided to try to write a book, fear paralyzed me. I didn’t know how to write a first sentence. How to turn that into a paragraph, then a chapter, then an entire book. All the things I didn’t know overwhelmed me. I had joined a writer’s group and went to my first meeting. I was new, but no one spoke to me or welcomed me until a lady came in and sat next to me. Turns out she was new to the group…

Amber Mitchell, Author of WAR OF THE WILTED (Garden of Thorns #2), Talks About Books and Writing (with a giveaway!)

Published by beckymmoe on 10/04/2018

Welcome, Amber! What 5 things should readers know about you? I write fight scenes and kiss scenes almost the same way. They are both about action and feelings and high stakes so I approach them with a similar mindset! When I’m not writing, I make 3D papercut shadowboxes and travel to different comic conventions to sell them. I love nerd culture and participating in conventions is such a wonderful way to foster that. I talk about Scotland… a lot. I recently took a trip to Scotland, fell madly in love, left part of my heart there and am constantly scheming…

Published by beckymmoe on 05/16/2018

Ten things I wish someone had told me about being an author… 10) There are times you will be a slave to word count. Especially if you are unendingly wordy like I am! Especially if you write YA or MG, sub-genres where the word counts are particularly restricted. You may suffer bouts of anxiety as you watch the word count creep up, running calculations to determine where the number you’re likely to reach by the time you type “the end.” You may long for the days of writing fifty-plus chapter fanfics with nary an editor telling you to keep it…

A Day in the Life of Alexa Randolph, Author of WITH LOVE, ELLA (with a giveaway!)

Published by beckymmoe on 04/20/2018

A day in the life of the author One thing I have learned as I have started writing and publishing novels is that there are never enough hours in the day. There is always so much I want to do in a day in regards to writing, promoting, research, reading and other day –to- day activities. Every day I have a laundry list of things I want to get done and most days I am lucky if I am able to get five things done. A typical day for me starts when I wake up and go to my writing…

Kendra C. Highley, Author of THE PERFECTLY IMPERFECT MATCH (Suttonville Sentinels #3) Talks About the Best and Worst Writing Advice She Ever Got (with a giveaway!)

Published by beckymmoe on 07/12/2017

The best (and/or worst!) writing advice I ever got was… When you’re new to writing and joining critique groups to improve your craft, the advice flows like milk and honey. For any parents out there, it’s a lot like when you have a new baby and experienced parents can’t wait to share their wisdom. The hard part in either case is knowing what works and what doesn’t. The best piece(s) of advice I received when I was starting out were: Read in your genre, and don’t quit. Both of those things are hard, believe it or not. I was an…

C.D. Bell, Author of WEREGIRL, Tells Us, “There is No ‘I’ in Wolf”

Published by beckymmoe on 11/20/2016

There is no “I” in Wolf By C.D. Bell, author of Weregirl Reading Weregirl, most people don’t know that it wasn’t written by a single author, but by a team of writers and editors working at the Vermont publisher Chooseco. “How does that work?” my writer friends ask. Skeptically. Most assume that writing is an activity best conducted in solitary confinement. At the base of this belief is the idea that multiple voices will muddy the purity of intention that only a solitary writer can achieve. Nothing is more dreadful, the thinking goes, than what is created “by committee.” But after…
