So, this morning I was sitting around trying to think of what to post for this week's blog. How do you follow three wonderful weeks of author interviews?

Then someone knocks on my door and when I answer, there stands a man weaing a hat that shadows his face. He hands me a large…

Seeking co-author for my novel

Hello fellow writers, I am writing a near futuristic novel in the genre of "Atlas Shrugged", Title: Secession- Rebirth of a Republic and am looking for a co-author to work with me to finish.

Around The Globe With Peter Fogg

So I'm in the transporter to pick up this week's featured author. He enters and suddenly the entire machine goes haywire. When we step out, we're on a strange island with a table set up for two, strange colored drinks waiting and the entire world has changed. I smack the side of the console, the dials spin, and then report that we're sitting…

Jump Starting Your Inner-Novelist To Life!: Coming July 2015

   I learned a few things about being a successful author after writing five novels, including a gold medal winner. Nine years of coaching hopeful writers in Evening at Emory University’s Creative writing studio convinced me that budding scribes often make unnecessary mistakes—the same mistakes.

     So I thought, “why not flatten the writing curve for writers who have…

TELL ME A STORY

Remember when the day ended with a bedtime story?

I remember my mother reading a picture book I already knew by heart. When he was home from sea duty, my father would spin stories of his childhood in the South. Sometimes he'd recite scenes from “Gone With the Wind,” changing his voice to fit each character. Okay, that may have been a little over the top. Does an eight-year-old really need to go to sleep with Scarlett's “As God is my witness”…

Life is not a Box of Chocolate...

Life is not a box of chocolate, usually in a box of chocolate we are expecting a variety of taste, flavors and sweetness.

I don't usually receive what I expect. So these days I am expecting everything from anyone at any time..I added my e-books and covers to my introductory blog..for more substance and readers.

I have been online for years, new at self-publishing, doing everything myself and hoping someone (a traditional publisher will at least glance my way). My writing is…

What is Stream of Consciousness in a novel? Help!

I was lounging on a couch on the outside deck of the Starbucks in Tucker, Georgia enjoying a tall “Flat White” coffee drink. It was creamy and good…very good! The sun was hot, and yet a crisp cool breeze washed over the deck and kept me alert as I was reading J.D. Sallinger’s The Catcher in the Rye. The traffic on Highway 29 didn’t distract me as I was involved in…

Around The Globe With Joyce Ann Brown

So, this morning I pick up this week's featured author and since she shrugged her shoulders on an interview site, i decided  to hit an all night coffee bar in Des Moines. Of course, I don't drink coffee, but they have a wonderful selection of teas. We're ensconced in a back room so the jazz quartet out front doesn't disturb us.

Onto the interview...

Why On Earth Knoxville, Tennessee?

Why did I pick Knoxville, Tennessee, as the setting for my debut novel, Curse Me Not? Easy. The town is big enough to have everything from an opera company to a paint ball club, yet it’s small enough for neighbors know neighbors and people to actually go downtown to see a movie or have a martini. It was perfect for my main character, an Appalachian unsophisticate who's recently gained the ability to see auras and the more lucrative ability to clean revenge…

Thompson On...Scene Construction: The Difference Maker in a Successful Novel!

     Novels are driven by incredible scene construction!

     How a writer handles scenes will make a difference between a manuscript that sells, and one that ends up in the slush pile or the author receiving a rejection letter via email or in the mail.

     A scene is a unit of drama in a novel.

     The concept of a scene in fiction comes from theater,…

What kind of writer are you...your writing style?

What kind of writer are you…your writing style?

If you are sensitive to critics’ comments, the writing “Rules Police”, experts discussing this issue, with such aplomb that they intimidate, then you must turn a deaf ear to this shrill commentary that says: You must write in a certain style in order to be considered a worthy author.

Stop!

love

If you know the meaning of love

you are not likely to have many questions,

in the understanding of what love is,

you will never be worried and

if you have heard what love is all about

You would not fall in love

Because when falling in love

you are building a house

you will live in tomorrow.
