Perhaps, I like Halloween vampire costumes so much, because some of my books are about vampires. Honestly, I would love to dress up as Aurélie, the main vampire character in my debut novel Aurélie Survival. It would be such a cool idea to have a Halloween party themed with your favorite horror or fantasy book […]
A few days ago a friend told me that he has so many great ideas for a website, but he “was bad at writing” and he “didn’t like writing.” He is also a busy bee, going back and forth all day long, and so he finds it hard to make time to write an article. […]
Why is reading important for kids? There are many reasons. Reading is great! There is no arguing against it. So, let’s find out why it is a good idea to let your child read. Vocabulary: your son/daughter learns new vocabulary. Values. Many books highlight certain values that your child may relate to Reading books aloud […]
I love history and fantasy, and both of them combined can make an explosive combination. Imagine working fantastical elements into real historical events and creating a new story. In Lucan’s book I let my main character, Lucan, be an active participant in the murder plot on the Ancient Roman emperor Commodus, who in real life […]
You may think, “what is there to write about? You just leave a comment, and that’s it.” True, that’s what those comment boxes are for, to write down your response, thoughts, or questions regarding a blog post. It can be positive or negative, it’s all fine, as long as it’s done respectfully, isn’t it? Then, […]
Lately, I have been reading a lot, especially between noon and 3 pm, since those are the hottest hours of the day and it is hard getting anything done. I live in the semi-desert in the Baja, Mexico; and I always call those hours the lazy hours (only in the summer) Temperatures get so high […]
We are living in a visual age. Nearly every day, around 5 billion videos are watched on YouTube alone. 5 billion, with over 30 million visitors per day! The numbers are staggering. If you have not opened your YouTube account yet, now would be a good time 😉 As an author, a video may perhaps […]
Do you like to read? I love reading! I love nothing more than to get comfortable in my hammock under my cherry tree with a nice page turner, a book of my choice. Classics are in many cases not always first choice; they are mandatory reading material in high school, and although I like some […]
Some say that writers are a different breed 😉 We often appear to be doing nothing when in fact we are busy in another world, plotting a whole new story. What to someone else is simply “staring into space” is a whole new book in the making for a writer. The crazy research that you […]
Following up on my post about Seraphin (I’m working hard to polish that manuscript and get it ready for publishing 😉 ), I thought it was time to give Lucan his own article as well. Lucan is another unique book character (if I may say so myself 🙂 ) who appears in the Aurelie series. […]
Right now, I am working on editing a manuscript. I first wrote it three years ago, and together with Thorn Heart it was the other manuscript that was stolen by a fake publisher – yes, there were two he got his hands on, but luckily I got them both back. Thorn Heart is already released, […]
Today we’re getting technical. A laptop is crucial for any writer or blogger, but which are the best writer’s laptops and which ones may not be ideal for our purposes? Recently, I bought a new laptop, and before I acquired it I did some research, looking into features, memory, price, and availability in my hometown […]
