Writing Tips with Charline
The third stop on the blog tour is with Charline's Blog and More... where she asks me about writing, exciting moments and Ebenezer Scrooge: Ghost Hunter.
Here's an excerpt from our chat:
"There is a moment that all first-time writers face. A moment of “this is crap,” or “it’s too hard,” or “I don’t know what to do next.” It’s that moment when your inner demons are winning and are about to sabotage your dreams..."
Charline asked some well researched and fun questions! I really enjoyed talking with her!

Advise for Aspiring Authors
The blog tour continues and today I'm talking with Tricia of Authors to Watch.
She asked me, What was the most challenging aspect of writing your book?
Retelling a beloved classic has peculiar challenges. How do you respect the characters and original author, but bring something new to the table? It’s rather presumptive to re-write Dickens – he’s amazing. I overcame the issue by sticking with the original style of tone and prose. That way the new content surprises and delights the reader and respects the legacy.
Another great question was, What advice would you offer to new or aspiring authors?
While I think my answer was good, I'd like to add more to my response here:
Write every day. Whether you feel like it or not. Train the muse to show up at a certain time, at a certain place and make sure you are there to meet him/her.
