The Research

As I wait for my book to come out, I busy myself with the thought of yet another book, the sequel. I have the title, "The Legacy" and the characters of course, Candra Rosewood and Kane Smith, but aside from all that, I have nothing as of yet. I know that she has found out about her background and I can't say what it is because it'll be a spoiler to Birthright and you have to read it to find out, but Candra's problem is not so much herself now, as she thought, it is her family and why are they so obsessed with her.

I am giving this week, my Spring Break, to do much research into her family, and I have found some interesting things. Looking into Utica's history and seeing if there is anything of interest that I could possibly use, seeing how my story does take place there.

I want it to be one of intrigue, and power. Such deliciousness that the readers will be hungry for more as it were (laughs at such playful words).

So keep coming back, I'll be posting my findings daily. Keeping you on your toes and "feeding" you with treats!

Red Flags to newbie authors...

I being a newbie myself have come across some things that sent out signals to cause me to think twice. Being published is great, you may not make a living at it, but that's not why you write.  You write because it is your passion.  With that being said, then take your time to look for a reputable publisher.  If an author friend or someone you know who is published by someone they like working for then by all means go for it, but if you know nothing about the publisher search them.  Find out what  you can and even then you're not told everything. I searched Trestle Press and found nothing wrong with them, but I still had this innate feeling of doom, well not doom, but a twinge of not too sure if I wanted to sign up with them.  I signed the contract, which was a one paragraph sheet of paper (red flag #1) and then a bunch of lines to where I would write what submissions I was sending in for them to publish.  Still nervous. I filled it out and sent it in then I started asking ho
