The Four Elements of Inspiration


From the day my mom dropped me on my head she knew I was going to be special.  One morning while I was flossing my teeth in the shower, I decided to prove her right.  What could possibly be more special than writing a novel?  Easier said than done, though, right?
A question many of us ask ourselves at some point is:  How does one write a novel?  What could possibly inspire someone to fill three-hun Read more of this blog post »

“Bryan helped me up.  "How can you be so good one minute then clumsy the next?"
I shrugged.  "I've never been very athletic.  Not unless you count fencing."
"You made fences?”
John Corwin, Sweet Blood of Mine

“Wait, so you do love me?" I asked, hope welling in my heart.
She growled and pounded her fist into a locker, leaving a fist-shaped dent. "Stop it, Justin. Stop it!"
I grabbed her shoulders. "Look at me and tell me you don't love me," I said. "Do it and I'll never bother you again."
"I don't love you," she mumbled.
"Look at me when you say it!"
She turned to me, her eyes hard but dull and faded. "I don't love you."
I let her go. My heart turned to lead, the heavy lump sagging in my chest. "Well, if there are agents out there looking to kill me, I guess it would be a mercy."
I turned to leave. Her hand gripped my shoulder.
"Please listen to me, Justin."
I pushed her hand away but didn't turn to face her. I couldn't let her see the tears welling in my eyes. "Why? What does it matter?"
"It just does. I—I don't want to see you hurt."
I took a deep shuddering breath. "You're not doing a very good job of it." I walked away and left her standing there.”
John Corwin, Sweet Blood of Mine

Amy Armstrong Hi John! Thanks so much for accepting my friend request. Hope you have a wonderful day!


message 16: by John

John Corwin Heh, no worries, Alana! I was a bit surprised by the response I got. :(


Alana ~ The Book Pimp Wow.. some of those people on the feedback thread really are haters. I couldn't help myself- I had to attempt to defend your honor. Doubt I changed any minds-

Some of the choice words used for Daemon (in Obsidian) I would love to tattoo across their profile

John Corwin Thanks, Tami! It's all part of my plan for world domination.

Tami John, just wanted to say congrats on all the great reviews SBoM is getting! They are all well deserved. Kudos to you!

John Corwin Thanks, Pixie!

Pixie Hey, just saw you recently released a new book. Congrats and all the best of luck! :)


Duchess Nicole A couple of my GR friends were chatting about buying it. Im halfway through, and loving it, John! Justin is very endearing, and I love being inside the guys head for a change.

I just finished last night. Loved it! Really looking forward to the sequel!

John Corwin Thanks, Tami! That means a lot to me. The sequel is in editing now and I hope it'll be out this year. :D


message 5: by Tami

Tami OMG John, I am reading SBoM and I am about 80% done and I AM HOOKED. This read has been so entertaining. I haven't had the chance to read your other books as of yet, but based on this book alone, you are a brilliant writer. Really sorry if I am coming off as a kiss-ass, but reading IS my past time and when I enjoy a book this much, I like to let the author know. Looks like this is going to be a series and that makes me smile my big nerd smile!


message 4: by Tami

Tami So, am I seeing things correctly? Is SBoM only available in paperback and not for Kindle?


 * Kazzy * -aka Stryker- Thanks for the invite John... looking forward to reading your book with the rest of the posse!!


message 2: by Midu (last edited Dec 29, 2011 07:17PM)

Midu Hadi Thanks for the invite!


Michelle(Chelle) aka Nightshade - Cake Whisperer Thanks for the friend invite John. I'm looking forward to chatting with you in the threads.
