No Woman Is an Island

I am so thankful that I have found so many resources for writing recently. When I turn on my computer and get onto the internet, I immediatly visit a blog from an author I enjoy reading and is so gracious toward her fans. She also does an excellent job of keeping up with her blog (unlike yours truly). My first stop is www.genashowalter.blogspot.com .

Next, I like to visit Twitter. Here I follow authors Teresa Medieros, Christina Dodd, Michelle Rowen, Calistrowriter, Jill Monroe, Nalini Singh, Kresley Cole, and of course, Gena Showalter.

If I am still procrastinating from writing, I like to visit romance writers of america website where I can access so many authors' websites, many of whom are nice enough to give tips, hints, or whole articles about writing.

One of the most interesting and best resources are audio of authors discussing their own experiences. I like Will Write for Wine, AuthorTalk, and Christina Dodd's 2006 speech given at an RWA convention http://christinadodd.com/rwaspeech2006.html

There are always resources out there, and I am so excited to finish my current wip. Now, if I can just get offline with enough time to write, I might actually be able to finish.

Love and pages,

Kiera M.

I Was Totally Seduced

Just finished Seduce the Darkness, by Gena Showalter. Let's just say, I loved the pace, the characters, the setting, the romance, the everything. I have read a few of Gena Showalter's books, and I devour each one. This one was far from an exception! I can't wait for Dallas's story, and I keep telling myself that holding my breath for Deep Kiss of Winter is bad for my health, but still find myself getting excited. This is a highly recommended read (for those of you that plan your reading list based on my recommendations, Mom) for fans of Ms. Showalter, romantic fiction, and everyone else who has a heart, pick up a copy.

About Me

My photo
I have been a writer all my life. I still have pleasant memories of typing my "plays" about talking fruits for hours at the age of eight. I gave up on the fruits, but not my love of writing. I hope to publish within the next year. I have been working on at least three book manuscripts, two narrative articles, and 1 poem. Other than that, I work, pretend to clean, and try to be a good wife and mother (work in progress).
