Over the last seven weeks I have been blessed by a team of talented authors who shared their tips in a series of guest blogs. This has been a wonderful experience, not only because of the feedback I received from readers, but in making myself rethink some of my own practices. I'm a member of the Australian Society …
Writing Tips – Matthew Bright
This week's writer's tips come from Matthew Bright, a man of many talents. He is a designer, an editor and a writer. Like me he doesn't feel comfortable writing in third person, but soldiers on regardless. I've decided my next novel will be in third person, so I'll have to go to him for tips. …
Writing Tips – Trent St. Germain
According to this week's guest author, Trent St. Germain, he is a graduate of the University of Louisiana at Monroe and enjoys the gym (not hard to see that his efforts are paying off ;~j), running, other outdoor activities, and reading when he isn't writing. He is also a self-proclaimed "pop culture nerd," and warns us not to …
Writing Tips – The Carter Seagrove Project
About a month ago author Alp Mortal wrote a guest blog about the joys of collaboration as part of the Carter Seagrove Project. You can read that post here.

Welcome to the second guest post from authors sharing their writer's tips. This week meet Elaine White. Her bio tells us that she grew up in a small town on the east coast of Scotland and writes paranormal romance, crime and MM romance. Fighting cancer in her early teens taught her that life is short and dreams should be …
Lunch with Writers
This is really a post about self-publishing versus traditional publishing, but saying I caught up with my favourite dirty old man and one of the few mm romance authors who lives down-under, well, it just sounds better as a blog title. Max Vos is one of self-publishing's successes, writing gay male erotica for an eager audience. …
The joys of collaboration (Guest Post)
Meet The Carter Seagrove Project, four authors who have come together to collaborate and find a larger audience. I met them through Twitter and at first was taken aback by how many followers they had. Then I looked at their webpage and found that they also dip their collective toe in film projects. To me, …
Plotter or Pantser?
I was asked this question for an author interview recently and had to look it up, even though IÂ worked out what it meant without quite knowing how pantser worked into the concept. For those still uninitiated, a plotter plots their books before they type a single letter, and a pantser flies by the seat of …
Review equals publicity
A couple of weeks ago I blogged about the importance of reviews to an author. In fact, next week, Bold Stroke's author Michael Vance Gurley has his own views on the topic as my guest blogger. But this week I want to share some experiences I've had in the past month regarding reviews. Reviews equal publicity. Part …
