I have NEWS! I've finished draft one of my fantasy novel, TBA. This novel, when/if published a ways down the road, will be released under my pen name, S.M. Tinker. Yes, the initials stand for something. No, I'm not telling you. A little about the project: It's set in a quasi-Georgian England-esque land. Thought that… Continue reading I Finished Draft One!

Preparing to Launch a Jane Austen Parody
Two weeks ago, I shared the book blurb for Lady Catherine Says: 365 Tweets of Condescension (available in print from Amazon and Createspace this December.) Now, for some more details! July of 2017 marked the 200-year anniversary of Jane Austen's death. Understandably, many Austenites are thinking about our dear Jane at this time. Finishing my… Continue reading Preparing to Launch a Jane Austen Parody
Social Media Advice for Writers
I'm going to hazard a guess: I bet that most of the people following my blog right now are writers. Am I right (if I'm not, please tell me so in the comments!)? If you are, I'm going to make another guess: I'm betting that at least 3/4 of the writers here are looking to… Continue reading Social Media Advice for Writers

My Author Pic
Reality is setting in: I have another book coming out! *hyperventilates* ... *just a little* Here's the author pic I had taken today at Studio Q in Amherst: I like my "mug" shot, too (the one with me, ya know, sipping from my mug.)

My Target Audience: A Heads Up
Part of the writing journey involves figuring out your target audience--well, it is if you want to be read, which I do. The answer to "Who is my audience?" has taken me YEARS to figure out...probably because I haven't tried very hard. I'm still not certain if I have a grasp of it or not.… Continue reading My Target Audience: A Heads Up
Hail Hybrid
The road to being a hybrid author is an interesting one. Okay, let me back up and explain what exactly a hybrid author is--in case anyone's wondering. A hybrid author is an author who is both traditionally published and self-published. I have one book out with a small press (In a Pickle is out with… Continue reading Hail Hybrid
Life Lesson #1
Do not compare yourself and your success to others. It will just make you a bitter (and miserable) person. You are you. You have your own talents and resources. If someone has more success at something than you do, do not wallow. They are them. They have their own talents and resources. Work with what… Continue reading Life Lesson #1
Hodge Podge
Greetings! This is going to be a random post, because my life is very random sometimes...or seemingly so. What follows is a hodge podge of things on my brain. Bear with. I have seen cover art for Lady Catherine Says: 365 Tweets of Condescension, and it is GLORIOUS! Jenny is doing such a fabulous job.… Continue reading Hodge Podge
In a Pickle: Print Cover Reveal
Later this year (November or December), I'll be releasing the print version of In a Pickle on Amazon. The cover was not an easy decision. There were many cool designs, but in the end, I went with the practical (and the one I liked a lot): As I write this, the book is still… Continue reading In a Pickle: Print Cover Reveal
