We love meeting with our authors and other publishing friends at conferences, but we also love getting to talk to people we don’t know and hearing their thoughts on the industry, plus talking about other fun things like what you’re reading, the most comforta

Hi Angela! Thanks for approving us as friends.

Gusto Dave here. We've already met, but for grins I figured I'd show you how great I am at PR--which will be a plus when Carina picks up one of my titles ;)--by showing you what goes out to each one of our friends.

I wouldn’t be worth my salt if I didn’t tout our blog and organization. Chiseled in Rock http://chiseledinrock.blogspot.com features side-splitting satire and some flash fiction for intellectual readers.

This week on the Rock: real evidence of the LOCHNESS MONSTER, writer of erotic romances E.C. STACY regales us with a cartoon, secrets of the San Diego COMIC CON, and we poke fun at luminary author BERNARD CORWELL.

For writers, we offer tips and agent/editor interviews. RMFW has several bestselling authors such as NYT Bestseller Jeanne Stein, RITA Award finalist Joanne Kennedy, and Karen Duvall. You have an open invitation to the “The Rock” for contests, entertainment, and an insight to the world of writing! Let’s follow each others’ blogs!
