5 Ways to Better Engage Your Readers

As an author, one of my favorite ways to learn how better to serve my readers is to read Dave Chesson's articles over at Kindlepreneur.com.  This guy knows his stuff. He knows how to help authors find the readers who are looking for their books. It's a win-win for authors and readers. He's also the Continue Reading

Announcing: The Top Foodie Items You Loved

Announcing: The Top Foodie Items You Loved

Well, I think we've established that I am not part of the cool crowd. Everyone has their favorites... I'm just not one of them.  Want me to prove it?  Well, let's look at the foodie contest winners! I had seven chances to "win" the contest between the authors from our "Foodie release" and... Continue Reading

Why I LOVE Barbara Cornthwaite & Think You Will Too

I met Barbara Cornthwaite almost twenty years ago on a message board. As an American, married to an Irishman, living in England with her adopted children (from several countries), her mere existence fascinated me. Her kindness and humor drew me in, but… I know, I know. It’s self-serving and Continue Reading

So Excited to Share This Great New Service (& Giveaway)

Excited to Share This Great New Service

I don't always recall how I met certain authors or publicity folks, but I remember when I met her. An author I didn't really know well reached out and invited me to be in a collection with her and a few others. We had a great run for a few months and by then I'd made a few new friends. Among those Continue Reading

3 Ways Cassie Solved the Christmas Stocking Nightmare

Confession time.  Cassie hasn’t dealt with Christmas stockings yet.  I mean, c’mon.  April Fool’s Day just passed.  And for all her faults, Cassie’s no fool. So why’s she spouting off about Christmas in April?  Well, because in this alternate timeline, I’m in November, and stocking season is just Continue Reading

A Love Letter? What's In It For You?

A Love Letter? What’s In It For You?

I opened the missive with fear and more than a little trepidation.  After all, it isn’t often you get a letter with bold, beautiful script and sealing wax on the back.  From an admiral in the Royal Navy!  EEEP! Have you ever broken the seal on a letter like that?  Talk about ominous. And a bit Continue Reading

What do Alpacas & the Cascades Have to Do with Christmas?

Well, on today’s (almost last) Wonderland Wednesday post, I’m here to share with a guest post from the Wonderland Wishes’ debut author, Dori Harrell! Don’t miss her novella in the collection and, knitters! She included a pattern for the hat the cover model wears! Isn’t that super Continue Reading

3 Simple Reasons I’m Thankful for Love’s Thankful Heart

Thanksgiving is coming, the turkey’s getting fat.  Please put a storyon my Kindle… yeah? Okay, so skip the very bad parody and let’s get into the real deal.  I don’t know about you, but I’ve never heard of a Thanksgiving novella collection.  But when Celebrate Lit asked me to help with cover art, I Continue Reading

5 Reasons to Read These Wonderful Austen-Inspired Novellas

A few months ago, I got an email from my “Regency expert.”  The woman I go to with any Regency question.  Her question? Did I want to take a look at her Mansfield Park inspired Christmas story? Let’s see… my favorite Austen heroine and her misunderstood sweetheart?  YES! I’ve been waiting for Continue Reading

Welcome to Red Wing, Minnesota. Home of Hanisch's Welcome to Red Wing, Minnesota. Home of Hanisch's Bakery, Mandy's Cafe, the Uffda Shop, and Pepie the Lake Monster (who knew?)

Oh, and home to Twice Sold Tales, a charming bookstore in a charming town--but not for long.  Unless Milton arrives with his trusty parrotlet, Atticus (not Finch!), this local gem of a store may soon be out of print--so to speak.

Some might blame owner Harper Brevig. Let's face it. Her "bookside manner" isn't much to write home about (although I did write a book about it...). But no, she's making enough money, and she's not spending too much money (much to her disgust), so where's it going?

Find out in Twice Sold Tales which is on tour with Celebrate Lit! Check out the blogs and enter to win a cool prize package with a book, one of "Pepie's babies," and other fun bookish goodies!

Reposted from @margueritemgray Come take a visit t Reposted from @margueritemgray Come take a visit to our newest set of islands – The Suamalie Islands! These islands are very different from the Independence Islands because they are touristy. Another way this series is different is we have added more authors. You will see some familiar Independence Islands authors but will also see some brand-new ones. Just like with our Independence Islands, each author will follow a type of business that goes across all the different islands.

There is a Giveaway of a $50 Amazon card to celebrate this new series. Enter January 28-February 5. https://promosimple.com/ps/245c3/suamalie-giveaway

Find out more about each book and author in the series by going to the publisher’s page: http://www.celebratelitpublishing.com/suamaliegiveaway/
