Ideas usually start small. I was going through an old notebook today and found the first kernel of the idea at the core of Leech. I have a lot of little notes like this to myself, but they rarely amount to much more than just an idea. I think I got lucky with this one.
I haven't spent much time sharing my thoughts here on my website in the past few months, so I thought I'd come back and talk a little about my experience participating in National Novel Writing Month in 2015.
Have you played around with Canva yet? It's a pretty great tool/service that lets you put together some nice looking marketing pieces pretty quickly. You can create everything from those tiny social media squares, posters, to a variety of page sized designs, and yes... book covers. If you're an indie writer without tons of money for buying your book cover designs, it's a great place to start.
My son has the week off for Spring Break, so while he and I spend the week goofing off by seeing dumb movies and playing even more ridiculous video games, I thought I'd include you in the celebration by making Leech available for free! If you haven't already purchased a copy, please jump over to Amazon now and grab one!
I'm super excited for Leech to get another review, this time at FUOnlyKnew - Laura's Ramblins and Reviews.
If your wallet is still huddled in the fetal position, crying over what you did to it on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you can pick up Leech for free on December 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! If you do pick it up and read it, I'd love a review!
I have a guest post up on Boom Baby Reviews where I wax a little poetic about the vampire myth and whether or not we should be changing our monsters as we create new tales.
It was really fun to write! Thanks to Bella for giving me the change to talk about this subject!
Another review? So soon? Stormi over at Boundless Book Reviews took a look at Leech yesterday and I just stumbled across it! What a treat!
Wow!
Asking someone to read a book is a big request. It can take a lot of time to work through a book and it sometimes requires an emotional investment that feels like too much to ask of another person, especially when we have so many other things demanding our attention. Leech just got a review from The Ardent Reader and I'm overwhelmed!
