Writing from the Vortex

This sounds like bait and switch but really, it's just a mixup. I was told my guest post at Jungle Red would be up today. But it's not. 

Turns out it's SATURDAY I'm over at Jungle Red, explaining how living in a New Age vortex has led to creeping woo-woo in my writing. Do stop by then and share your thoughts on woo-woo,

Today the Reds are discussing whether 99 cent Kindle books will be the death of publishing. And it's an interesting post, as are the comments.

Blogging Elsewhere. . . .

Please pop over to Meanderings and Muses where I'm talking about why I'll never again end a book with a cliffhanger.

Home Again, Home Again!

Lovely to be home again after several days on the road! I had a fine time and met some lovely people.

But, virtually speaking, I'm gone again. My post for today is over at Jenny Milchman's blog Suspense Your Disbelief -- where I ask the pressing question "Are we each awaiting the coming of a heavenly messenger, naming us The Grand Hooyah and Master of the Universe??

Jenny calls this post a "Made it Moment" and asked me when I knew I'd made it. To which I replied- but you can see what I said over there. 

Blog Tour -- Last Stop

I've borrowed a fiaker from Merisi's Vienna to take us over to Molly Weston's MERITORIOUS MYSTERIES for the last stop on the blog tour.

But perhaps the elegant conveyance below would be more suitable. I'm talking about graveyards and giving an excerpt from the new book -- an excerpt set in a graveyard.

And it is the last stop, after all...  and your last chance to leave a comment and be entered in a drawing for a copy of the new book.

Blog Tour - Fourth Stop

Fourth and next-to-last stop on the Day of Small Things whirlwind blog tour. I'm doing an interview over at Blind Pig and the Acorn -- Tipper Pressley's wonderful down home take on all thing Appalachian.  I'd be proud for you uns come along, if you've a mind to.

It won't be up till around 7 AM -- US eastern standard time. And there will be another drawing for a copy of the new book.

Blog Tour - Third Stop

I'm off to the third stop on my Book Blog tour.  Today I'm at Meanderings and Muses, talking about Fierce Old Women I have known.

You all have been so good about commenting on my guest stops -- know that I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. 

And yes, there'll be yet another drawing for a fresh copy of The Day of Small Things. Leave a comment  over there to be entered.

Blog Tour - Second Stop

I've fluttered away to Buried Under Books where I'm talking about writing dialect . . . and there's another drawing for another copy of THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS. 

Please click over and give your opinion -- how much dialect is too much?  I'm still struggling with this question...
