Happy Dance. It’s April 30th and this is the end of the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge. I won’t feel this much pressure again until November when I jump into NaNoWriMo again. First of all, let me say there were a lot of authors, especially Colorado authors, I didn’t get to include in …Read More
Y is for You (and Al Yankovic and “(The) Yearling” by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings)
Here we are, only one more day left in the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge. After all my whining, I now have mixed emotions. I’m glad I’ll have that extra time back, the time I spent deciding on the featured authors and books, the time I spent writing blog posts that were supposed …Read More
X is for Xray (and Qiu Xiaolong and X by Jack Croxall)
I racked my brain for authors I knew whose names began with X and came up with nada. Same for book titles I’d heard of before. Nothing. I thought of pulling another sneaky trick and featuring favorite authors and bloggers like Dean K. Xiller (aka Dean K. Miller) and Richard Xeller (aka Richard Keller) but …Read More
A to Z Challenge: W is for Writing (and Natasha Wing and “The Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame)
Three more days. Do I sound anxious? I am pretty eager to get a few hours a week back for working on a new novel. But I haven’t even made a dent in that list of blog challenge participants. I’m going to try a bunch of new bloggers to close out the challenge with a …Read More
A to Z Challenge: V is for Violets (and Denise Vega and “Voodoo Ridge” by David Freed)
V turned out to be easy, thanks to a wonderful Northern Colorado writer of books for young folks and an upcoming book release from David Freed (who will return as my guest blogger on May 22nd). Four more posts to go, folks. We’re almost done for another year. This is the only challenge, blog hop, …Read More
Talk Amongst Yourselves: Conversations with the Characters in My Head … by Yvonne Montgomery
Every once in a while, if I’m very good and eat all of my vegetables and pay my bills on time, the characters in my book(s) will talk to each other and I am able to transcribe what they say. Suddenly I’ll be typing madly, trying to get every word down as they tap into …Read More
A to Z Challenge: U is for Unwind (and Leon Uris and “(The) Ugly American” by Eugene Burdick and William J. Lederer)
U was hard because I couldn’t find a Colorado author or a book title from a Colorado author that begin with that letter. Luckily, I did have a favorite in both categories, so I didn’t have to cheat on this one. Featuring authors and novels who are old favorites is a good thing, especially for …Read More
A to Z Challenge: T is for Thanks! (and Kay Theodoratus and “Tallgrass” by Sandra Dallas)
Five Six more days in the challenge after today (Geesh. I really am anxious). I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m almost there. Nothing can stop me now. Sorry, that was too much like tempting fate. Featured Author: M.K (Kay) Theodoratus Kay is a delightful person, a dedicated and interesting blogger …Read More
A to Z Challenge: S is for Sociology (and Susan Spann and “Stories Gathered at the Kitchen Table” by Anne Randolph)
Seven more posts after today. I’m counting down, and my motor is running down. And I still have the dreaded V , X, and Z to go. I’m going to cheat again. I can see it coming. Featured Author: Susan Spann Susan is an attorney who does a lot of work for the literary community, …Read More
A to Z Challenge: R is for Repellent (and Raham and Resau and Ryan and “Running from the Devil” by Jamie Freveletti)
Eight more posts to go after this one. We’re heading into the final stretch. I don’t know about you, but I’m running out of steam. I’m still getting the posts written, but I’ve slowed down on the number of new blogs I’m visiting. I’ll try to do better this week. I couldn’t pick just one …Read More
