Dealing With the F-word

It’s that time again and I’m over on the Emblazoners blog talking about the F-word.

Failure!

Is there another F-word? 🙂

Pop over and have a read: http://emblazoners.com/dealing-with-the-f-word-failure/

In other news, The Devil You Know, my latest project that has taken far more time to complete than I’d hoped, has passed 115,000 words and I’m sincerely hoping the light at the end of the tunnel I see isn’t an oncoming train! The next few weeks are dedicated to getting this beast finished and out in the world.

To that end, I’m looking for a few beta readers. This is an adult read (language and violence) and, if you’re interested, please contact me for details. Thanks!

Guesting at the Emblazoners

I’ve got a short post over at the Emblazoner’s blog today about the question authors dread the most: What’s your book about?

Check it out here: http://emblazoners.com/whats-your-book-about/

And take a moment to peruse the site as well. TONS of awesome Middle Grade and lower Young Adult books there for the tween readers in your life!

Tony Phony and the Northern Woods

Today I’m part of a special blog event hosted by T. Man, a 10-year-old author and homeschooler. When T. Man was only 8, he partnered with his older brother, M. Man, on a special homeschool writing project that resulted in their first published book, Tony the Phony and Cursed Mansion. This year, T. Man went solo and just finished the second book in the series, Tony the Phony and the Northern Woods. Written in the engaging style of a Choose Your Own Adventure™, each book is available for .99 on Amazon.

But today T. Man has chosen to share his new book with his readers in its entirety in a special interactive virtual event. Seven different bloggers are hosting sections of the story. The fun begins on T. Man’s blog. At the end of each page YOU have to decide how the story will go. Each choice will lead you to a new blog. You have the possibility of landing on any of four endings. Of course, when you finish you can always go back to the beginning and start again. Choose wisely!

“Let’s go see if we can find help,” said Tony.

So Ed grabbed his backpack while Tony left the plane. Five seconds later, Ed heard Tony scream, “Help! Help!” He ran from the plane to see what was happening and came face to face with a bear who had pinned Tony pinned to the ground. “What are you doing?” asked Ed.

“Trying to breathe,” said Tony. “Chuck something at it.”

Ed picked up a stick and threw it. “I missed! Wait! The bear is chasing the stick.”

“Run!” yelled Tony.

“I’m right behind you.”

Bam! They ran into the airplane door.

“Open it!” said Tony.

“It won’t budge,” screamed Ed. “We’re locked out!”

Suddenly a loud roaring sound came from the top of the plane. The bear dropped the stick behind them, skidded to a stop with all four feet, and ran for its life.

“What was that?” Ed squeaked.

Tony pointed with a shaky finger. Ed looked up and there on the roof of the plane was a fat zombie. He looked wrinkly and warty and cranky.

A Multitude of Middle Grade Books!

Guest posting today is author Andrea Pearson with an amazing collection of Middle Grade books for your ereaders which are all on sale or FREE through January 7th. Here’s Andrea:

I’m excited about this promotion because it’s geared to one of my favorite audiences: middle-grade readers! I’ve always been passionate about books written for kids ages 9 through 12. Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Fablehaven, Diary of a Wimpy Kid… all excellent. 🙂 I wrote The Key of Kilenya when my younger brother, Josh, who was 12 at the time, told me there weren’t enough books for him to read. He’d ripped through everything our local library had and was hungry for more.

I dedicate this promotion to him and to all other readers who love and are searching for books written for middle graders!

The Multi-Author Middle-Grade Book Promotion starts January 4, 2016 and ends January 7, 2016.
