The Tenerview with Ksenia Anske...

Apr 25, 2014 by

Her tweets read “I get high on new words” and “At the sunset of your life, what will you regret? The fact that you never wrote a book, never got a chance to tell your story. WRITE.” Ksenia Anske, Fanstasy Writer She’s so compelling, she’s even changed my behavior, and I’m pretty stubborn. As a writer who has a full-time job that has nothing to do with sitting for long glorious hours writing on my laptop, I have wrestled with the tension of wanting to write but having little time for writing. (Poor me!) Ksenia’s tweet was innocent enough: “If you want to be a writer, write, write every day, that’s all there is to it.” That single tweet started my new, very difficult practice of waking at 4:30 in the morning … the...

The Tenerview with Red Tash!

Mar 25, 2014 by

Meet Red Tash, a quick-witted, sassy-pants writer who I know you’ll come to love as much as I have!

Red loves social media, roller...

What I found was good, clear, expert advice. I decided then that Sharon was someone I should keep an eye on.  I’m glad I did. About Sharon Ledwith: The enchanting Sharon Ledwith.

The Tenerview with Janice Hardy...

Sep 1, 2013 by

One look at Janice Hardy’s twitter feed and you’ll quickly realize her commitment to books … and I don’t mean just to writing them.  Granted, she’s written three awesome books of her own in the Healing Wars trilogy, but Janice has also made herself a valuable resource for other writers.  Her blog site, The Other Side of the Story, is an online library of writing, publishing, and marketing tools, in addition to being a platform where she supports other authors like herself. I like Janice. Can you tell? I know you will too! The Janice Hardy Powerhouse About Janice: Janice Hardy is the author of the teen fantasy trilogy THE HEALING WARS, where she tapped into her own dark side to create a world where healing was dangerous, and those with the best intentions often...
