Maps, Glorious Maps

September 16, 2011 | News,Serendipity,The stories

Hi there!

I’m blogging today at History Hoydens about maps, glorious maps. Yes, they can help authors in more ways than driving down the road or finding a new place to eat dinner. For historical authors, the right map can be a godsend and new maps are becoming available all the time.

They can help find a hometown for a hero, a bolthole for a villain, or a dangerous setting for a book’s climax.

Please stop by if you’d like to chat about any maps or settings that have helped you enjoy – or write! – a book.

Shakespeare and Saloons

Hi there!

I’m blogging today at HISTORY HOYDENS about how daydreaming about going back in time to see Shakespeare and saloons helped lead to “Talbot’s Ace,” in IMPROPER GENTLEMEN.

Please drop by if you get a chance and chat about if you’ve ever wanted to see an opening night of a great play or piece of music. Or if you’ve ever used such a day dream in your story.

Small bit of shameless self-promotion: IMPROPER GENTLEMEN will be released tomorrow, July 26th. Wheeee!

Games and More Games

April 7, 2011 | News,The stories

Hello again!

Today I’m blogging at Readers’ Entertainment TV about just why Jake and Astrid had to be fans of online role playing games in THE SHADOW GUARD. Of course, that means I get to talk about which online role playing games they prefer – and why I had to invent one! (Someday this business will get easier, right?)

Please drop by and let me know which games you prefer and what you think of their tastes!

What Does He Look Like

April 5, 2011 | News,The stories,Tuning the instrument

Hey there!

Have you wondered what a book’s hero looks like? Trust me, nobody worries about that more than the author does! Sometimes the hero announces himself very early and sometimes he sneaks those little details in bit by bit.

Please stop by Fresh Fiction today, where I’m blogging about how Jake Hammond, THE SHADOW GUARD‘s hero, told me what the heck he looked like.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on favorite heroes and what you think they should look like.
