Guess who's guesting?

I hope you will stop by and read my guest post over at Cresting the Hill. A huge thank you to Leanne for asking. If you remember a couple of weeks back, I had a guest post at Sizzling Towards 60.

Sue and Leanne run the most amazing websites. Be sure to browse around, after reading my post. ;)

AUTHOR GUEST POST: Guilie Castillo {Mexican expat, writer, dog rescuer)

Donna, thank you so much for having me here today to share a bit about how this book happened—and, hopefully, to share one or two things I learned that might help your readers.

My passion has always been for fiction, not just to write but also to read. My shelves are full of novels and short stories; I can get lost for hours in a Neil Gaiman book, a García Márquez novel, a collection of Margaret Atwood’s stories.

And when it comes to writing, nothing beats giving a what if the wings to fly. Creating a character from scratch and watching them come alive draft by draft—that’s joy. Those middle-of-the-night bursts of inspiration when the perfect plot twist comes to you, and you just have to get out of bed and get it down, at least scribble a few notes so you won’t forget—that’s my high. (And let’s not forget the addictive factor of that escape from reality that fiction supplies.)

Which is to say that no one is more surprised than me that my second book wasn’t the novel that I’ve been working on since 2011, not even the ‘new’ novel (I started that one in 2015) about the LGBT community here in Curaçao. No. Instead, it turned out to be a non-fiction how-to guide to dog rescue.

Hard to get any farther from the tender arms of fiction than that.

The whole thing began innocently enough with an April A-to-Z series in 2016. My publisher saw the posts and suggested turning them into a book. How hard could it be? Everything was already written. A little editing, a little reshaping, some additional material, maybe, and finito.

Oh, boy.

What I thought would take me a couple of months at most took me nearly two years. The original date the publisher had suggested for the book was November or December 2016. Instead, the book was (finally) released this April.

Why? What happened?

I wasn’t hospitalized. No deaths in the family. (Well, one: Sasha, one of our dogs, died last June. But at that point the book was at the publisher’s, for the umpteenth revision. I refuse to use her as an excuse.) My computer didn’t crash, my hard drive didn’t get erased. Nothing major happened, really—except a rapid series of those fierce lessons life is so fond of hurling when we’re not looking.

Research
It’s one thing to claim something on a blog—a statistic, a percentage, a source. Translate it to a book, though, and suddenly the whole thing takes on a rather solemn tone. For one thing, it’s not just my reputation that’s on the line (for whatever it’s worth), but the publisher’s. Also, a blog is—well, just a blog. An online, public journal. Personal opinions. A book carries more weight, more gravitas. It was no longer enough to think I knew something; I had to back it up. Double- and triple-check facts, obtain sources, add footnotes.

Formatting
Bullet points, lists, headers, sub-headers, footnotes, margins, indents—it was a nightmare to keep them all uniform. Even when the manuscript (in Word and in PDF) looked okay, the first proof copy revealed all sorts of irregularities: sub-headings that looked like headings, shifts in indents, lists that weren’t properly spaced. In fiction this kind of formatting hardly ever comes up, and when it does it’s limited to a section or two. Working through an entire manuscript like this was… torture. And not just for me; for the publisher, too.

The Issues of Voice
A blog is an informal thing, and blog posts usually have a rather informal tone. The original dog rescue series was no exception. Which worried me. Wouldn’t that personal feel influence how seriously readers took the book? Wouldn’t it take away from whatever authority I was claiming in writing a guide for beginner dog rescuers? I considered rewriting the whole thing, trying for a more professional, ‘authoritative’ voice; that know-it-all attitude so commonly associated with nonfiction. Then again, I could hardly claim to know even a fraction of ‘all’.

To quote the book’s introduction, “The only thing that qualifies me to talk about dog rescue—and I use the word qualify rather loosely—is the fact that I’ve botched more than my share [of rescues].” Also, dog rescue isn’t a popular subject (most people would much rather not know, let alone do), so maybe a more personal, informal approach would make the book more palatable? How to walk the line between sounding like a crank and coming across like a snooty grandstander? (I’m still not sure I figured this one out.)

The Gamechanger
When the final (final-final-final) draft of the manuscript was approved, when both publisher and I agreed that this was done, I thought to myself, “Never again.” Nonfiction was clearly not my thing—and maybe that’s true. But I did discover something unexpectedly beautiful about it: nonfiction can get a lot more personal than fiction. This morning I received a photo of It’s About the Dog from an acquaintance; it had just been delivered. I can’t tell you how weird it felt. As if a part of me had been teleported to her kitchen counter.

When my first novel came out in 2016, several friends sent me photos of the book in their homes, in their cities, in selfies—and it was exciting (and much, much appreciated), but… not like this. Maybe it’s because the dog on the cover is my own dog (and the photo is mine, too). Maybe it’s the subject matter; dog rescue has been a defining force in my life, after all.

Or maybe it’s more than that. In fiction, there’s a certain ‘curtain’ between author and reader, even between author and the characters, the world of the book. We inject parts of ourselves in it, certainly; tell our truths through them. But there is a distance, however small, that separates ‘them’ from us. I thought nonfiction would be even more so, that it would feel impersonal, that I, as the author, would feel further removed from the reader than with my novel or my short stories. And I was wrong. Seeing this book in the hands of a reader feels like I’ve given over a piece of my heart.

I really didn’t expect that.

This post is a part of The Dog Book Blog Tour; during April and May, author and book will be making the rounds of dog-loving sites on the blogosphere to talk dogs and rescue—and to give away THREE signed copies. (More about both tour and giveaway here.)

GUEST POST: Allegories of the Tarot

First of all, I'd like to thank Donna for generously hosting me here.

My name is Annetta Ribken, and I am a professional editor of over eighty indie novels.

That means I might be slightly crazy, but I love my job.

For a long time, I had an idea of putting together an anthology of stories based on the Major Arcana of the Tarot. I know and work with so many amazing writers, I just knew if I could get them all together we could create something fabulous. I'm happy to say I was right.

The stories are incredible. Many different genres are represented, and it was fascinating to see the direction in which each writer took their chosen card. Their talent just blew me away. You'll find a cross section of new and established award winning talent in this table of contents, along with some stellar fiction. Fiction you won't find anywhere else.

I am so proud and ecstatic to introduce these writers to you.

Treat yourself this Halloween and see what lurks around the corner. You won't be disappointed.

Twenty-two cards…
…each an individual splinter of the human psyche.

Twenty-two writers…
…honing each splinter into a story of triumph and decay, arrogance and humility.

Stories of the brightest lights and the darkest corners of the weirdest minds.

Twenty-two cross-genre worlds.

Twenty-two portals into the Universal.

Only one way to get there.

ALLEGORIES OF THE TAROT…

An Anthology of Symbols and the Human Experience.

Available now at Amazon, Smashwords, and all e-book retailers.

Annetta's Bio: A professional editor of over eighty novels, Annetta Ribken has also been writing since a tender young age, when letters were chiseled on stone tablets. A precocious student, Annetta earned her Ph.D in the School of Hard Knocks, with honors, in the early Age of Disco. She lives and works just outside of St. Louis with her evil feline overlord, a rescued shelter cat named Athena

GUEST POST: Character Interview by author Saoirse O’Mara

Hi Donna, thanks for having me over on my birthday. I’d like to give your readers the opportunity to get to know me a little better, as well as meet my two protagonists, Tayla and Govin, from my YA fantasy/mystery series A Rogue’s Tale. So here’s my very own little interview with the two of them. Enjoy!

Saoirse: Tayla, Govin, nice to meet you again. Tell me…why did you choose my head to appear in?

Tayla: Oh, I liked the chaos and the creativity inside. And I liked the little dragon that already lived there.

Saoirse: Dragon? Oh, you mean Miro? Well, yeah, he’s the protagonist in another series….

Govin: Once Tayla had chosen you, I thought, oh well, why not give her a chance. And when I started to tell you the first story, it was easy enough to get you to write it down correctly. So we stayed.

Saoirse: Hm, that explains it. So what is up with you and Tayla? Why did you two end up friends?

Tayla: He helped me escape although he didn’t even know me, and when he asked me for help later, I knew I owed him. And since then, I haven’t been able to get rid of him again.

[Tayla laughs.]

Govin: It just felt wrong to leave her in that cell. She has become a good friend in those first few days and I’m glad I met her.

Saoirse: What was the worst moment of your friendship?

Govin: When Tayla sent for me from the temple of Natifa, I was scared to death. I was really afraid I might lose her in that moment.

Tayla: Yeah, and after that, I thought you didn’t like spending time with me anymore because you didn’t want to investigate with me. I’m glad we got that misunderstanding out of the way. I really missed you.

Saoirse: Okay. But seriously, a member of the City Guard and a pickpocket...couldn’t you come up with an even more unusual friendship?

Tayla: Sorry, the friendship between dragons and humans was already taken.

Saoirse: Touché. Well, I’m looking forward to writing down more of your adventures together. Do you have more stories for my readers?

Govin: How much time do you have to write them down? We have plenty to tell.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Juli D. Revezzo

Tell us a little about yourself, so my readers can get to know you.

Juli D. Revezzo: I’m a Florida girl who grew up loving fantasy and science fiction. I studied literature and art history in college so I have a curious streak that I put to good use in my writing. When I’m not writing I like to watch movies, everything from biopics to (yep, you guessed it) fantasy and science fiction. I also garden when the weather’s not unbearable and I read as much as I can.

Who were your influences? How’d you get started writing steamy romance?

Juli D. Revezzo: My biggest influence is fantasy author Michael Moorcock. I fell in love with his Elric series in high school and that sparked the need to try to write like him. I’m still working on that! How did I get started writing romance? I always put some romance thread in for my main characters, no matter what genre the story is—if the story allows for it. So when my friends encouraged me to give romance a shot, it seemed natural to focus on that and bring it to the fore. My biggest influences in the romance realm are Debra Glass, C.L. Wilson and Kathy Carmichael, and S.G. Rogers…without whom, you know?

What inspired the story Passion’s Sacred Dance?

Juli D. Revezzo: I was reading a ton of Celtic Mythology at the time. I also heard a Megadeth song, “foreclosure of a dream” in my mind (you know how sometimes a song will just play over and over, and over?) and the two meshed into Passion’s Sacred Dance.

What kind of research, if any, did you have to do in order to write the book?

Juli D. Revezzo: I read and re-read the myth of the Second Battle of Mag Tureid on which the main battle is based; I also spent some time, years ago actually, working in a college gallery so I had a bit of life experience on which to build Stacy’s gallery work.

Can you tell our readers a little about Passion’s Sacred Dance?

Juli D. Revezzo: It’s a paranormal romance about a woman who is caretaker to a gallery. She invariably falls in love with an immortal warrior of the Tuatha de Dannan, Aaron, when he comes and asks to use the property for a ritual battle. However, if they lose the battle, the Earth will be plunged into Chaos for the next 500 years.

Do you have any forthcoming projects you’d like to share with our readers? What's next for you, now that Passion’s Sacred Dance is out?

Juli D. Revezzo: I’m working on an untitled follow up to Passion’s Sacred Dance, as well as an unrelated, novella, and the follow up to my previously self-published novel, The Artist’s Inheritance. As well as a few other things.

---

Passion’s Sacred Dance:
Battling mounting debt, Stacy Macken is determined not to lose her historic art gallery. When Aaron Fielding appears and offers to help, she fights to keep the attraction sizzling between them from clouding her judgment. He may be her savior in disguise–but can she trust him?

Aaron intrigues her with tales of the Tuatha dé Danann, sworn warriors who protect humanity from the monsters seeking their destruction. If Aaron can prove what he claims, she would give up anything to help–even the gallery he claims is sacred ground. But with her property set to stage the next epic battle, she needs answers. An old family diary will confirm the ancient legend is true, if only they can find it in time.

If the battle is lost, the enemy will take control of Earth for the next five hundred years. Stacy and Aaron’s budding love might only complicate things.

Passion’s Sacred Dance is available at Amazon.

GUEST POST: Lisa M. Owens, author of "If Only"

My name is Lisa M. Owens and my first novel, If Only, has just been released by Liquid Silver Books. I was invited to tell you about my book, so here goes.

What would you do if you had the opportunity to go back and relive your greatest mistake?

Five years ago, Bree Sexton walked out on her fiancé and into the arms of a charming and handsome stranger. She has regretted her decision ever since. Instead of a fairy-tale marriage, her “prince” shattered her dreams and her spirit with physical violence and emotional cruelty she barely escaped.

She then mysteriously wakes up in bed with the fiancé she loved and left, the life she’d dreamed of now a reality, until her cruel ex-husband reappears to destroy her new life. But what is real, and what is make-believe? Is she really getting the chance she has always dreamed of? And when it is all said and done, will she finally end up with the man she has always regretted leaving? Or will she wake up to discover herself alone?

Excerpt:

Bree stood there for a minute, watching as he walked out of her life. She couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if she had married Scott instead of Bryan. How would her life have changed? Would she have had children by now? Would her and Scott still be together, after all this time?

She had these thoughts and more weighing heavily on her mind as she headed out the door of the bar. It had begun to snow and she wrapped her coat even tighter around her slender frame. She looked around, but there was no one to be found. She couldn't help herself, she stuck out her tongue, a childish impulse that she couldn't ignore. She laughed out loud in spite of herself.

She looked both ways before attempting to cross the street. Not seeing any cars, she carefully made her way across, her high heels clicking as she stepped onto the pavement.

Bree was walking slowly across the street when one of her high heels caught on a slippery patch of ice. One shoe flew off as she landed onto the pavement, her head striking against the curb. The last thing she saw was Scott's face swimming before her eyes, then her world went black.

Bree awoke at the feeling of a man nipping gently on her earlobe, his tongue stroking the delicate curves of her inner ear. His hot breath blowing into her ear, giving her shivers up and down her spine. She closed her eyes as a man's hand stroked her upper thigh. She sighed happily, Ooh, I must be dreaming, she thought to herself. And it was such a delicious dream, too.

The man's hand traveled up her thigh, then encircled her flat stomach. Bryan had never made her feel like this and she hadn't even looked yet to see who this stranger was! But she was only dreaming, so what difference did it make?

Bree arched her body in anxious response to his touch. She longed to examine his face but she feared that one look would make his magical touch disappear. She was aching all over, she wanted his hands to caress her everywhere and she longed to touch him desperately.

His morning stubble stung her delicate skin but she hungered for more. Just one more touch, just one more taste, and she would awaken from this wonderful dream and find herself in bed, all alone. His voice whispered huskily, “Oh, Bree, baby. What you do to me.”

That voice jerked Bree back to the present. The voice that had haunted her dreams since she had gotten married. The voice of the man that she just couldn't seem to get over. “Scott,” she whispered.

If your book was made into a TV series or movie, what actors would you like to see playing your characters?
I could see either Rachel McAdams or Sarah Michelle Gellar as Bree. For the wicked character of Bryan, I would have to say either Matthew McConaughey, Sean Patrick Flannery or Cam Gigandet. For my hero, Scott, perhaps either Patrick Dempsey, Eric Bana or Luke Wilson.

What is your date of birth?
January 31

Do you ever write in your pajamas?
Are you kidding? That’s one of the best things about being able to work from home!

What projects are you working on now?
I am currently working on two manuscripts; one is the second novel in my If Only series.

Can you tell us where we can find you and your books?
If Only is now available on both www.lsbooks.com  and www.amazon.com

Readers can contact me at P.O. Box 9643, Tulsa, OK 74157-0643, by e-mail, lisamowens@ymail.com, or on my website, www.lmowens.com. I can also be contacted through my Facebook author page and on Twitter.

GUEST POST: Cindy Hogan - How do I get inspired?

Enjoy the tour here

I always have to smile when new authors ask me how I get inspired. Typically, they will ask the question and then forget to wait for the answer. Instead, they forge forward telling me how they have this great idea for a book, but can't get it down on paper. They finish with asking about my muse.



                           thanks boticca dot com

The truth is, being an author is like any other job. You HAVE to write(or do whatever it is you do at work) even when you don't feel like it. Yep, sometimes writing can be drudgery, but as an author, you have to work through it. You can't just say, I'm not feeling it today.

                                                                                                  

thanks sharilopatin dot com

thanks Practically-yours dot com

How do I get through writer's block?

1. I walk and brainstorm, talking into a tape recorder

2. I watch a movie

3. I turn on music

4. I read for about an hour

However, I don't waste my whole day away. I make myself write. Sometimes I even sit and write nonsense until the real stuff comes.

thanks Practically-yours dot com

So, if you just don't feel like it-do something else creative for about one hour, then get back to work. You might be surprised at what you'll be able to create.

Thanks for inviting me Donna!

GUEST POST: Rosemary McCracken - Money & Murder

Pat Tierney, my central character in Safe Harbor, is a forty-something financial advisor. She emerged, fully grown, from my background as a journalist who specializes in personal finance. Over the years, I’ve interviewed many financial and investment professionals for my articles, and I know the challenges they face. Pat embodies traits of those in the financial services industry I admire most. She cares about her clients. She’s a champion of small investors. She has sleepless nights when stock markets are in a downturn. And she realizes that money can be a strong motive for crime, including murder.

Greed is a powerful incentive for theft and fraud. But some people don’t stop there; they move onto murder. Take Mary Ann Cotton who poisoned a string of people in Victorian England, including three husbands and a lover, after making sure that they’d purchased life insurance. Then she collected on the policies and moved on to her next victim.

More recently, Canada’s black widow, 77-year-old Melissa Weeks, has just been charged with trying to poison her 75-year-old husband shortly after their wedding in late September. Back in 1991, Weeks was convinced of manslaughter and served a jail term for killing her second husband on a deserted road. He was heavily drugged when she ran him over twice with a car. She was also convicted and did jail time for fraud, theft and forgery involving other lonely men with whom she had relationships.

Pat Tierney’s profession gives her an edge as an amateur sleuth. She recognizes the red flags for fraud and financial abuse: the “time-limited offers” that consumers need to act upon immediately without getting second opinions; clients who ask to be cashed out of investments but won’t give a reason why; clients who make large withdrawals from their bank accounts; and elderly people whose children or caregivers have isolated them from their friends and community.

The fact that a financial advisor has to know her clients is probably the greatest ace Pat holds. It means that she will know if a client has health concerns. She will be one the first in the know if a client is diagnosed with a terminal illness. And getting back to money and greed, she’ll also know how much money a client has – or doesn’t have. And who he is leaving it to in his will.

There is one type of crime that Pat is particularly well positioned to spot – white collar crime committed by her peers. Because the financial services industry revolves around money, it provides opportunities for those who are clever and greedy enough to challenge the system. Not only crimes of fraud and embezzlement, but also laundering the proceeds of these crimes. There will always be some bad apples in circulation, and committed professionals like Pat want to see tougher penalties to deter them. They want the system to protect their clients, their firms and themselves from liability.

In Safe Harbor, a red flag goes up when a rookie advisor is immediately given a large investment account to manage. When Pat looks more closely at that account, she sees that a sizeable part of its assets are in slowpoke stocks. Things just don’t add up. And when thing don’t add up for a financial professional, something is very wrong.

* * *

Rosemary McCracken is a freelance journalist and fiction writer who lives in Toronto, Canada. Her first mystery novel, Safe Harbor, was shortlisted for Britain’s Debut Dagger in 2010. It opens when a frightened woman barges into financial advisor Pat Tierney’s office with a shocking request: “Look after my boy; he’s your late husband’s son.” The next day the woman is murdered and police say her seven-year-old child may be the killer’s next target.

Safe Harbor was published by Imajin Books this spring, and is available as an ebook and a paperback on Amazon.com; also as a paperback on Amazon.ca and Barnes & Noble. Visit Rosemary on her website and her blog.
