Resolutions . . .

It's been a while since I've written a blog. Getting behind here . . . Therefore, I think that I need to make a few New Year's resolutions in regards to my writing. I don't mean the actual writing, though I have a few ideas on that as well. I mean on the marketing end. I am not good at marketing. I've never been very good at tooting my own horn. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I went to twelve years of Catholic school. You know, Pride is one of those seven deadly sins. I also come from a very superstitious family. You don't want to get too full of yourself because the second you start feeling like you're doing great something or someone will come along and knock you down a few pegs. So, I've got to get over that.

When Ribbons of Moonlight came out in 2011 I really had to push myself to let people know. Not only was it the whole don't brag thing it was also the--Oh my God, I wrote a romance novel. I was a little embarrassed by the whole romance thing. I read romance novels, started reading them years ago in order to see what my sister in law loved so much about them and found some wonderful stories. However, writing romance novels? I wanted to write fantasy. Loved fantasy, but romance?

Two fantasy novels into a trilogy--The Shattered Prism and Walking With Shadows--and I have another romance novel waiting in the wings. I've gotten over the romance thing. In fact, Ascent of the Fallen is going to be the anchor book to a much longer series. So, I resolve that I am going to really push my writing. I think I already dropped the ball on Capricon. I got so busy dealing with the holidays and incorporating common core that I missed the deadline for the panelists. Therefore, I have to really look at the online promo.

Which leads me to this . . . time to find three places to send my new book.

Girls with Spunk

Katniss. Hermione. Lessa. Polgara. Lady Macbeth. Alright, I'll even give you Jane Eyre, but I refuse to add Bella into the mix of heroines who I believe are really kick ass. Now, admittedly, most of them are grown women, so I don't think it's fair to really pull them into the mix. I'll stick to the girls in the group--Hermione and Katniss, and because she's their exact opposite in all ways, Bella. Think about it. Back when all we had were fairy tales told to scare children, the spunkiest of the fairy tale heroines was Gretal who had the wherewithal to shove the witch in the oven and free her brother. I suppose she was one of the first heroines who really took the story in her own hands and proved to the world that we were more than damsels in distress waiting languidly in some tower for Prince Charming to rescue us. Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White--all waiting around for a prince to come and save them. Or in Cinderella's case weeping for a Fairy Godmot...

Things that Go Bump in the Night Contest!

I love Halloween. It's my favorite time of the year. The weather's turning cooler, the leaves are changing, and crunch underfoot when you walk. The sharp scents of mums and wood smoke linger in the air. It puts me in mind of Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" or anything by Poe. We study Poe every October, my students and I. He confuses the heck out of the 8th graders at first. When they start to get it, I love seeing their eyes widen in joy at understanding, then at horror when they fully comprehend. Eventually, the conversation always turns to ghosties and the things that go bump in the night. Now, I also admit I'm a chicken. I love Halloween, but I love cutesy Halloween more than "the veil is thinnest" Halloween. I love ghost stories. One of my students once gave me a book called Haunted Heartland a book of "true" ghost stories from Illinois and the surrounding states. I honestly don't know what happened to it. My ...

Who Wants a Knight in Shining Armor Anyway?

Alright, full disclosure here . . . I gave damsels in distress a bit of a drubbing in my last blog post and I do stand by every word I said. I am so happy to see some strong heroines out there kicking butt, but I am also a sucker, every now and a then, for a well done D.I.D. tale. In fact, I use the line myself in the the blurb on the back of MY book--"She's a damsel in distres . . . " Of course, it's a little tongue in cheek and ten minutes after meeting the hero my heroine maces him. So . . . On to the gentlemen. We'll stick with the principals of the three stories I culled out last time-- Harry Potter ,  The Hunger Games and Twilight. Interesting to note that there are more guys in the stories than girls. Hmmm. Maybe that clues into not only the knight in shining armor fantasies as we speculated last time, but the desire to be persued? Something to think on. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. I know, they aren't both vying for Hermione's hand, and for ...
