Return from Book Tour and Out Again

Aloha Everyone!

I've recently returned from a book signing tour and long-overdue family visit. Once returned home, I found orders for more books in the mail and have been joyfully handling that big job of autographing, packing and shipping. Had hoped to be back on TWB soon. However, I am now preparing to leave for another trip - to Honolulu for at least a week. That should be my last trip of the year. From then on, I've got two books that need a final run-thru before publishing. I've… Continue

Self-publishing success stories

Big Houses Benefit from Savvy Self-Publishers by Rachel Deahl -- Publishers Weekly

Every so often a self-publishing Cinderella story makes headlines. In 2003 it was a home-schooled 20-year-old, Christopher Paolini, who sold his first novel about a dragon to Knopf, and in 2006 Kathleen McGowan got a seven-figure deal from S&S for her Da Vinci Code–esque Mary Magdalene series. And in the coming months, look for more self-publishing success stories, as the big… Continue

THE TWILIGHT OF AMERICAN EMOTIONAL LIFE?

I would like someone at BMN to explain to me the psychological, emotional and literary significance of "Twilight," described as a young adult vampire novel. I think it's perverted, and demonstrates the degeneracy of American youth. Ted

This is the first book I've written set in the early Edwardian era of England and I thoroughly enjoyed writing it.

Another 'first' for me is writing a book where the heroine is married and a mother at the start of the book, that made a wonderful change for me.

Woodland Daughter is only available in hardback, but it… Continue

All you need to do is watch A Twist of Fate’s book trailer and answer these two Questions:

1. Arianna remembers an eerie prediction form the fortuneteller. What is it?
