Author tag!

I was invited by the wonderful Camelia Miron Skiba to participate in a blog tour for writers to answer a few questions about our writing process, and then pass the baton to other authors. Camelia is a great friend and I’m honored she asked me to be a part of this!! Here are my answers to the specific questions.

What Am I Working On?

I'm feverishly working on the final book in my Port Fare series, Unbearable. I’m in the editing phase right now but hopefully it will be ready by summer!! I’m absolutely in love with the cover (yes it is finished!!) and hope to have a cover reveal when the final edits are complete.

How Does My Work Differ From Others of Its Genre?

I don’t know if it is different from others in my genre, but I try to evoke real emotion into my characters. I will think for days on a situation, work hard to put myself in that situation in my head so I can better related to what is going on. I also draw on experiences I've had and try and related them to the character so the emotions are authentic. I’m not sure it that is what most authors do, but it is how I write.

Why Do I Write What I Do?

Simply, I write what I enjoy. I enjoy YA fiction, and Fantasy fiction. I also enjoy Chic lit, and hope to dip my hand into that genre also.

How Does Your Writing Process Work?

I come up with an idea and quickly write it down. Then I spend the next week or two writing the novel out in my head before begin a single page. I create a rough outline to help me remember my ideas, although I usually change the story several times before I’m finished. And that is how my novels are born!

To continue with this game of tag, I’ve selected one of my favorite authors Cami Checketts. She’s written a new novel that is fresh and exciting titled The Colony, and it will be released soon!! Check out her blog next week on December 2nd: http://www.camichecketts.com/

 What do Witches, Elves, and Greek Gods (Oh My) have in common? They are part of the romantic Christmas anthology, A Fantasy Christmas, written by Cindy C Bennett, Stephanie Fowers, and Sherry Gammon

Halfling by Cindy C Bennett

(Author of Geek Girls, Heart on a Chain, Enchanted Fairytales, and more)

Banished from the South Pole, Kara tries to carve out a new life among the elves of the North. It’s not easy with a secret to protect—a secret she's cursed with by the unusual circumstances of her heritage: half-elf, half-fairy. In the North, she’s assigned to work with Seb on a special project. He's the most gorgeous elf she’s ever seen - and the orneriest. 

As if being banished wasn’t punishment enough. 

Seb introduces her to Trystin, a fairy from the nearby fairy forest. Trystin discerns her secret right away and promises to teach her how to use the powers given to her by the very thing she’s fighting to keep hidden.
Check Cindy C Bennett's web page for more information on her.

Aphrodite by Stephanie Fowers

(Author of  the Twisted Tales Series, Meet your Match, Prank Wars, and more)

Nothing is simple for Aphrodite’s daughter, especially love. 

Scorned by society in regency England, Affry longs for romance. Upon encountering a dashing nobleman at her aunty's Christmas' ball, Affry gets caught in a lovely intrigue with disastrous results. Worse, she wins the interest of the gods. 

Now the furies of the underworld and Hades himself are after her. When all is fair in war,  Affry must use love as her weapon—but only for the one who’s stolen her heart. 
Check out Stephanie Fowers' web page for more information on her.

(Loving Marigold by Sherry Gammon
Author of Unlovable, Unbelievable, Not So Easy and more)

Young Marigold Yarrow has a secret. She’s also in love with Jack Mahoney. In the middle of her ninth grade year, Jack's family up and moves to Port Fare, New York, leaving the small town of Sugar Maple, West Virginia - and Marigold - far behind.

Nine years later Jack and Marigold meet again. They join forces to weed out the shady Abbott boys. The unscrupulous brothers are illegally selling moonshine near her home on Sugar Maple Ridge. And they'll do anything to get Marigold to leave the ridge. Anything. This time it may be magic that tears Jack and Marigold apart.

GUEST POST

Christmas Fantasies Dancing in Our Heads

by Cindy C Bennett

The official line from the famous ’Twas the Night Before Christmas might have more to do with sugar plums than fantasies, but what other time of year is such a great time to indulge in fantasy? As children we fantasize all year long about that magical night when our good behavior is going to pay off in a visit from the Jolly Old Elf. As adults we fantasize more about the spirit of the season. The joy that comes from giving and charity are more abundant at Christmastime than any other.

Christmas has been my favorite holiday as long as I can remember. There’s just a different feeling in the air, a heightened excitement, and even beneath the frustrated and harried shoppers there beats a kinder, more generous heart in most people (Scrooges excepted, though even Scrooge has a change of heart eventually). I love all the baking, decorating, and shopping—trying to choose a gift for others that will be both meaningful and useful.

When Sherry Gammon approached me with the idea to do a Christmas trilogy of fantasy novellas revolving around a Christmas theme, I jumped at the chance. Write a story revolving around my favorite holiday? Yes, please. Soon Stephanie Fowers came aboard and we had the correct number of authors for a trilogy. I knew right away I wanted to write a story about an elf—not a traditional, garden-gnome looking elf, but a Legolas-type elf. Then Sherry informed us her story would be about a witch. A Christmas witch? Of course, being the talented author she is, she wrote a charming story about a witch that also just happens to be set around Christmas. Then Stephanie surprised us with her Christmas story—about Greek gods. And a fantastically entertaining story it is.

A Christmas Fantasy isn’t about fantasies we might have at Christmastime, but rather stories of fantasy to please different readers with a chance to indulge in a fantasy of their own—whether at Christmas or any other time of the year. We sincerely hope you enjoy the stories as much as we enjoyed writing them.

Frogs and Toads by Stacy Lynn Carroll

Book Blurb: One kiss can change the future...for better or for worse.

Belle and her cousins have conquered their fears. Now as they navigate their way through the dating world, they start to see a "happily ever after" on the horizon. But when an unexpected school assignment forces them to examine their past, the Princess sisters realize they have a lot of questions about the fathers they've never met. Secrets are revealed, long lost family members are discovered, and now the girls must decide who belongs in their future and who should be kept in the past.

Author Bio: Stacy Lynn Carroll has always loved telling stories.  She started out at Utah State University where she pursued a degree in English, learned how to western swing, and watched as many of her fellow students became ‘True Aggies’.  She then finished her BA at the University of Utah where she got an emphasis in creative writing.  After college she worked as an administrative assistant, where she continued to write stories for the amusement of her co-workers.  When her first daughter was born, and with the encouragement of a fortune cookie, she quit her job and became a full-time mommy and writer.  She and her husband have three children, two Corgis, and a fish named Don.

I thought I already sent the links, but here they are again. They are only available on Amazon right now, in both paperback and on Kindle.
