This has been a strange month, a bit of a rollercoaster in my personal life, thankfully things are on an upward turn and I’m hoping it will continue to climb. I have somehow still managed to keep some sort of order around here, it is a nice space to come back to and provide some structure on occasion. Here’s what has been happening…
A guest post on writing yourself into a story by Kate Hewitt on the tour for A Mother’s Goodbye.
My post for this month’s Insecure Writer’s Support Group on the challenges of names.
A little bit of fun written for Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers.
A guest post giving thanks by Cristina Hodgson on the tour for Valentina.
A guest post about the author’s mother by Nicole Harkin on the tour for memoir Tilting.
A spotlight on two books The Heat Is On and The Warrior With The Pierced Heart.
A guest post about the writing cabin by Jenny Morton Potts on the tour for Just.
