cj Sez: A writer friend and I visited the Gulf Coast Writers meeting in Pass Christian,
MS, on Saturday, to support another author/friend, Ron O’Gorman, who was the guest speaker. He
did a great job presenting his tips to help new writers along the path to
publication. It was a spot-on topic because so many of us now-days are
self-published.
His number one tip: “Never,
never, NEVER
quit!!! (Anyone can be published.)”
Dr. O’Gorman’s award-winning (Suspense Magazine’s “Best of 2014”) medical
mystery, Fatal Rhythm, is available on Amazon…and it’s specially priced
at 99 cents right now!
By the by, Choosing Carter has some good
reviews on Amazon, and Deadly Star is enjoying a happy revival
of sales. AND Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited
subscribers read for free! What a deal, read my two novels for free, and then you,
too, can review them.
Even better, for 99 cents, you can read Fatal Rhythm, Choosing Carter,
and Deadly
Star . . . THREE full length novels! Yay!
Let me tell you a little about my two books. My romantic
suspense novels aren’t cozy by any means, but their sex heat is catalogued as “behind
closed doors,” and I’m happy with that. Make that very happy with that. I cannot (will not) write detailed sex scenes. For me, erotica
descriptions take away from the intimacy of a very special romantic moment
between two people. The key word there and for my books is “romantic.” My
characters may wind up in bed together, but that’s where the scene ends. It’s
always been my theory that readers’ imaginations are far more creative than I
could be in black and white.
Okay, You-all guys keep on keeping on, and I’ll try to do
the same.
