Being Northerners, my hubby and I don't get down to London very often.  And when we do, it's fair to say our visits are always work related.  So whilst I was in the UK we decided to treat ourselves and head down to enjoy all the delights our capital city has to offer - well as many as we could fit in, that is, considering we were, in fact, doing all our sightseeing on foot.

Our pavement pounding began at Tower Bridge and we headed down the Embankment, snapping photos of the…

There’s no question that books are judged by their covers, particularly when they’re written by new or lesser-known authors. Before convincing the viewer to turn over the book and read the blurb on the back, or click on the link for more info, the cover has to be enticing enough to encourage further interaction. That’s a fact, which is why a professionally designed cover is absolutely crucial to the popularity and sales of every book.

The cover sets the tone of the book, informs the…

Yesterday a new person joined my Facebook page because they love my Knights of Camelot series. It's a strange feeling that my words have whizzed all the way over to the US and touched someone enough to prompt them to take such action. I am so deeply touched by the effort and kindness. I also amazed that other people out there love my boys as much as me!

I write in a genre that encourages contact with people who enjoy world building as much as the author - we are often referred to as…

I have just finished writing an intense cliffhanger of an ending to my second Redcliffe novel Love Kills. It was amazing! Having finished editing a separate manuscript, I was thinking about what needed to be done on my current WIP. I had written the first draft of Love Kills, but was unhappy with the way I had finished it. There had to be more.

Well it seems that my muse agreed, and all day today, while doing my menial household chores, the story has unfolded…

Last week I launched my website to highlight my new book “To be a Pilot” >theagostiniteam.com< - I also made an announcement on Facebook, from which I received two commitments to buy, two I never knew you were an author, and several congratulations. I know my niece bought a copy from Amazon, which she told me she received, but have heard no further. Yesterday I submitted a chapter to >booksinsynch< and am waiting to hear what they think. On Tuesday I went to a local writers…

Hi All,

I guess I'm the new kid on the block, all be it a 55 year old. I had my first murder mystery novel FULL CIRCLE published last September. Hopefully, the first of many. I'm looking forward to speaking with everyone, and looking at the depth of skills and expertise on board, I'm looking forward to learning a great deal more about writing.

Here's a brief sysnopsis of FULL CIRCLE -

I really wanted to write today.  I had several good ideas (or so I thought) for my next novel, Visions of Mortality.  However, the sun was shining and it was 50 degrees (Jan. in North Idaho!!), so instead, Paul and I took our two pooches, Sydney and Pippin, for a walk along Lake Pend Oreille.  It was absolutely gorgeous and I'm so glad I went.  Now I can settle down and write for awhile...     

One of the reasons I've joined Authors.com is because Steve Norris, author of A Very English Revolution , has contacted me about a very clever idea.

Here's the idea - in order to boost rankings on Amazon (the book world's version of the Catholic Church - you do it their way or no way) - he's thought of a cunning…

So, what to chat about on a new blog? In this instance writing... My favourite subject and something of a curse perhaps.

Is it me are writers often driven people who can't help themselves? Rarely are authors looking for fame - fortune perhaps - but not fame. We are just goaded by the people, scenes and plots that unravel inside our minds and if we don't do something with them, we will go mad. Or at least that's how it feels.

At the moment, I'm in the process of finishing book 4…

  Obviously, i have not been on here in a long while. :/ I've mainly been doing school stuff, so I haven't really sat down and wrote. I'm working on a book with my friend, so I haven't totally ditched writing. The story, however, is in a notebook so I can't share right now.

   Recently I wrote an 8 page narrative for english. it involved my character Connor Carson. I think I'll send the document to my self from my school e-mail and post it on here, for you all to review. Considering i…

Active and Passive Voice: When you are active, you do something. When you are passive, things happen to you. This is the same concept as the active and passive voice in sentences.

In the active voice, the subject performs the action described by the main verb. In the passive voice, the action…
