Weekly Round Up

Posted on by

Blog Tour: I discuss the role of family and secondary characters in The Taming of Mei Lin today at Thoughts in Progress, a book blog by Mason Canyon.

***

Just a quick round-up of the week:

Dear Author reviewed The Taming of Mei Lin with a B-. I am quite pleased.

I also received some reviews for Butterfly Swords from author and blogger Kay Bigelow and Michelle Henriques-Wilson.

Next week, I’ll be featuring stuntwoman and Ninja Warrior Luci Romberg on my blog in honor of Warrior Women month.

On Saturday 9/18, I’ll be doing my “Page 1, 5, 50: Keeping Them Hooked” workshop in Bartlett, TN for the River City Romance Writers. No books to sign yet, but I’ll be giving a print copy of Butterfly Swords away to the participants.

Also looking forward to seeing Jade Lee on Friday! I just bought her new historical romance, Wicked Surrender.  I’m so bummed to miss her Saturday talk at MORWA (since I’ll be speaking in TN). Do come check her out if you’re in town.

Have a great weekend!

Butterfly Swords Review Round-Up

Guest blog: Forgot about that UK time difference thing. My Call story is up at the Pink Heart Society. Anyone curious about how it all happened. 🙂

Advance reviews are always coming out and, I confess, I hungrily search for them. I’m weak…

I never know whether to respond or not, but I liked Stacia Kane’s take on it. Good or bad, acknowledge the review and thank them for their time. It does take a lot of time and effort to read through the book and then to put your thoughts together coherently.

I’m making it my policy to not comment on reviews other than a nice thank you and I will not show up on any review sites to comment or reply. If you ever see me doing so, smack me upside the head and send me away. But I can acknowledge the reviewers here on my blog.
