Today I have the privilege of interviewing Theresa   Paolo who’s releasing her debut novel   (Never) Again today! Happy book birthday!   Hello! First I want to say thank you Jennie for having me on your blog!  You are very welcome, it's a pleasure :) Let’s start with a couple of serious questions:   Sure!   1. Tell us how you came up with the idea for (Never) Again. How to do this without giving away the whole story? Hmm. In 2007 I was home when a news story came on and I couldn’t turn away. It was something that I couldn’t get off my mind for days. I thought about all the stories I had read/seen that dealt with the situation, but I had never read one about the people on the outside. The people who weren’t there, but knew someone who was. I couldn’t stop wondering what they were going through, knowing something was wrong but not knowing all the details. I wanted to know their story. So that’s when I decided to write ...

I first heard about NaNo WriMo three years ago shortly after I started blogging. I thought people were nuts for even attempting to write 50k in a month. Yet, I couldn’t pass up the chance to try it out for myself. Since then, I’ve done NaNo (including camp NaNo) 4 times--this November will make 5. Because of this, I’ve spent a considerable about of time on NaNoWriMo.org , and they’re doing some amazing stuff for people. I have a 14 yr old cousin who went to LTUE last year because NaNo came to his school, and he decided he really liked writing. If that isn’t awesome, I don’t know what is. In these past three years I’ve felt awful for not giving back when NaNo has been doing so much for writers everywhere. That’s why I decided to write an anthology with a few awesome friends and donate all the proceeds to NaNoWriMo. But I need your help to get the word out! Presenting, All I Want for NaNo: Here's the rules: on November 1st post what you want for you NaNo and put a...

It's the first Wednesday of the month and time for another edition of the Insecure Writer's Support Group hosted by the amazing Alex J. Cavanaugh ! The waiting is the hardest part, right? Someone please tell me the waiting is the hardest part. It sure feels that way. It seems like everything in writing basically equates to this never-ending waiting game and sometimes I wonder if it's ever going to end. Who am I kidding? I know it's never going to end. That's the publishing business. A least right now waiting is my biggest problem. It could be a lot worse (it has been a lot worse in the past). Guess I'll just have to suck it up and try to stay busy while I do all that waiting. Are you waiting for anything?

Welcome to another lovely Tuesday, readers! Today I'm excited to review A Heart So Broken by Christine Houston. Goodreads Blurb: When Jenna Tucker loses her father, the world held so neatly together crumbles without warning beneath her feet. Finding it impossible to regain her balance, she stumbles into a full throttle downward spiral. The result is exile to tiny West Junction under the care of compassionate Aunt Lilly. A vivid dream awakens her to the hope of healing and an electric attraction to football hero Cooper Turnage invites her to believe that happiness is more than a possibility. Yet her resentment for the sole survivor of the explosion that claimed her father’s life continues to haunt her. When she discovers a devastating secret, her still tender heart will suffer another blow. Jenna must decide between the comfort of bitterness and letting it go to embrace a new life without guarantees. With so much at stake can she heal a heart so broken? My Review...
