The fabulous co-hosts this month (besides the awesome author whose site you’re on right now): Lee Lowery …
I can’t believe that it’s November already! For me, it means the last IWSG post of the year (I’m taking December off for a proper holiday). Buckle in, this is going to be one awesome – and slightly long – post. I’d like to start this post with amending the details of Grumpy Old Gods …
I’m so excited to welcome back efriend Tasha with her great advice on being an indie author. Last time she talked about ebooks and revolutionised my writing career. This time… just read the article 😉 Many self-publishing guides will talk about brand and how to create one. When considering this, one of the options is …

V is for Various Artists (Ed Sheeran, Gotye and Carly Rae Jepsen) As I mentioned in my theme-reveal post, this month will be all about music and how it inspires my writing. I could have gone with Van Helsing, but I thought after all the rock and metal groups this month, you could do with …
U is for Lady Gaga and Pink As I mentioned in my theme-reveal post, this month will be all about music and how it inspires my writing. I first heard of Lady Gaga when “Poker Face” came out. She is so theatrical! I really enjoy her music. The lyrics of her songs tell so many …
