Searching for "Writers Workshop"

Airborne by DiAnn Mills

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Airborne by DiAnn Mills was a great book, but it struck a little to close to things happening in the world right now.  Now I know that it isn’t exactly what is happening right now, but it is similar enough to make me wonder if this could occur.  I enjoy this author’s writing and this book.  I loved Heather right from the start, and I hated her husband throughout the entire book.  I figured that they would work it out in the end, but I still didn’t like him once the book ended.  I didn’t find that this book was super suspenseful, but that didn’t bother me when I read this book.  I have read several other books by this author, and as far as I can remember, I have enjoyed all of them.  I loved that this book’s plot was different from anything else that I have read.  It is hard to find books with unique stories because I have read so many books.  If you are looking for something different to read, then I would, for sure, pick up a copy of this book.

Heather Lawrence’s long-awaited vacation to Salzburg wasn’t supposed to go like this. Mere hours into the transatlantic flight, the Houston FBI agent is awakened when passengers begin exhibiting horrific symptoms of an unknown infection. As the virus quickly spreads and dozens of passengers fall ill, Heather fears she’s witnessing an epidemic similar to ones her estranged husband studies for a living—but this airborne contagion may have been deliberately released.

While Heather remains quarantined with other survivors, she works with her FBI colleagues to identify the person behind this attack. The prime suspect? Dr. Chad Lawrence, an expert in his field . . . and Heather’s husband. The Lawrences’ marriage has been on the rocks since Chad announced his career took precedence over his wife and future family and moved out.

As more victims fall prey days after the initial outbreak, time’s running out to hunt down the killer, one who may be closer to the victims than anyone ever expected.

Dealth at the Dakota: A Trudy Genova Manhattan Mystey #2 by Marni Graff

Marni Graff writes two award-winning mystery series: The Nora Tierney English Mysteries and The Trudy Genova Manhattan Mysteries. She teaches writing workshops and mentors the Writers Read program, and is Managing Editor of Bridle Path Press. 
 
 
 
Graff also writes the crime review blog Auntie M Writes, http://www.auntiemwrites.com.







 
Nurse Trudy Genova is making plans to take her relationship to NYPD detective Ned O’Malley to the next level, when she lands a gig as medical consultant on a film shoot at the famed Dakota apartment building in Manhattan, which John Lennon once called home. Then star Monica Kiley goes missing, a cast member turns up dead, and it appears Trudy might be next. Meanwhile Ned tackles a mysterious murder case in which the victim is burned beyond recognition. When his investigations lead him back to the Dakota, Trudy finds herself wondering: how can she fall in love if she can’t even survive?


Readers of Death Unscripted, the first book in the Trudy Genova Manhattan Mystery series, will find the same pleasures in this sequel: fast pacing, engaging characters, twists and turns on the way to a satisfying close. From the award-winning author of The Nora Tierney English Mysteries, this second series is a winner. Once again M.K. Graff reveals her talents in crafting this delightful mix of amateur sleuth and police procedural.
Part procedural, part cozy, Death at
the Dakota is a well-crafted and highly entertaining mystery.- Bruce Robert
Coffin, #1 bestselling author of the Detective Byron mysteries.  
I fell in love — not only with
co-protagonists, Trudy and Ned, the richly detailed and historic setting of The
Dakota, and the unique cast of characters, but with the unusual plot of Death
at the Dakota. Sherry Harris, Agatha Award nominated author of the Sarah

Snippet:
Rashid was right about one thing: the trumpet gown with horizontal stripes did make Monica look like a Slinky. That one went right back on the hanger, without debate from anyone.  


          Next up, the Monique Lhullier, heavy lace fitted down past Monica’s derriere that flowed into a wide circular train. Expensive it might be, but it reminded me of the curtains from my Nana Genova’s house. 


          “Too heavy, Rashid,” Monica complained. “I’m too short to carry all this around.” She didn’t mention the way it strained over her small belly.


          The Jenny Packham was so sheer it couldn’t be worn with any kind of undergarment. Made of silk charmeuse, it shimmered as Monica dropped it over her head. “Packham’s done Sex and the City, The Devil Wears Prada, and of course, Casino Royale,” Rashid gushed, adjusting a large bow under the deep-V neckline. He stepped back. “There. What do you think?”


          I thought Monica’s slightly rounded belly showed in a too obvious way. “Does it remind you of a nightgown, Alice?” I asked, raising my eyebrows and opening my green eyes wide to convey the message “help me out here.”


          “Nix this one, Rashid,” Alice said authoritatively. “She can’t wear a bra with it and you’ll never get those nipples past the censor for the TV-G rating.”

Q & A With the Author:
     1.     When did you write your first novel?  I wrote my first novel when
we were still living on Long Island, a mystery set at the Frick Museum in NYC.
Unfortunately, our house burned down and I lost the entire manuscript, as well
as my first computer and all the files. I have not rewritten that one. Instead
after our move to NC, I set about writing a series set in England, being a real
Anglophile and lover of all things British. That became The Blue Virgin and was
published in 2010. 

2.     What drove you to write / why did you become an author? I’ve always
loved to read and written poetry and stories since in junior high. I thought at
one point in high school I might go into acting but realized pretty quickly I’d
rather be the person who wrote the words and story the actors performed. That
led to me learning screenplay format and writing a few of those, but my drive
was to entertain readers with a book the way I’d loved reading since a child.
It’s still what drives me to write: the idea of sharing my stories with a
reader, taking them into a fictional world that might closely mirror a real
place, but choosing the characters and what happens to them.
3.     How do you create your characters? I spend a long time developing each
character. Those for a series, like Trudy Genova and her boyfriend, Ned
O’Malley, have entire backgrounds I’ve created for them, with aspects of their
childhood, where they grew up, went to school, etc. I always decide what my
characters’ needs and fears are, too. These things help me figure out how each
one will react in the circumstances I throw them into! In Trudy’s case, she’s a
nurse with a nose for murder, which often frustrates Ned. But she feels she’s a
good judge of people and has a natural curiosity that can put her jeopardy at
times. She also has a feel for wanting to help people, hence going into
nursing, and a sense of justice and fairness that equals Ned’s and is part of
their attraction. They ‘get’ each other on that level, even though they are
vastly different. I use the same technique for minor characters, maybe not just
in as much depth.
4.     What is one thing you love about Fall / Autumn? Besides the cooler
weather, I love the feel that reminds me of going back to school with new
things on the horizon. It’s my favorite season–of course, my birthday is in
October so I’m prejudiced!
5.     Who is the person or group of people that most support you in your
writing? My husband is super-supportive, but the people who really help are my
writing group. We’ve been working together for 15 years now and the others are
novelists, too, so while we write different genres, we understand the rhythms
of a long term exploration of character, plot and setting. We meet yearly and
go over our entire draft novels for each other; in between, we are available on
email for checking scenes and running ideas past each other. I’d be lost
without them.
6.     What is your favorite Halloween Memory? I grew up with a friend whose
birthday is October 30th, so she always had a great Hallowe’en costume party,
bobbing for apples, other games, making popcorn balls, and eating caramel
apples, the whole nine yards. Great memories. We are still friends and when I
bring a new book on tour to my hometown library, she comes out to see me and
buys a book–and she always leaves a review! I’ll be there in October on tour
with Death at the Dakota and we’ve already set up lunch for our October
birthdays.

Unmasking the Duke by Donna Hatch

Donna Hatch is the author of the
best-selling “Rogue Hearts Series,” and a winner of writing awards such as The
Golden Quill and the International Digital Award. 
 
A hopeless romantic and
adventurer at heart, she discovered her writing passion at the tender age of 8
and has been listening to those voices ever since. She has become a
sought-after workshop presenter, and also juggles freelance editing, multiple
volunteer positions, and most of all, her six children (seven, counting her
husband).
 
 A native of Arizona who recently transplanted to the Pacific
Northwest, she and her husband of over twenty years are living proof that there
really is a happily ever after.

~ Facebook ~ Website ~
~ Amazon ~
~ Goodreads ~ Twitter ~
The last thing Hannah Palmer wants to
do is flirt with men in a crowded ballroom, but when her sister, the Countess
of Tarrington, throws a Masquerade Ball, Hannah can’t say no to the invitation. 
 
Taking comfort behind her disguise, she dances with a charming masked
gentleman, matching him wit for wit. When the glorious evening culminates in a
kiss, and the two remove their masks, Hannah is horrified to discover the man
she’s been flirting with all night is her most despised neighbor, the Duke of
Suttenberg. 
 
No matter how charming the duke was at the ball, and how wonderful
the kiss, he is the last man she could ever love.

 

 

 

Q & A With the Author:
When did you write your first
novel?
My first pathetic attempt was when I
was in 7th grade. It was basically fan fiction. Around that time, I attempted
screen plays too. I wrote my first novel that later became published (in
incarnation of it, at least) when I was in 9th grade.
What drove you to write/why did you
become an author?
I’ve always loved making up stories
and have been writing them down since 3rd grade. At the time I thought they
were epic but now I look back on them and want to put a sack over my head.
Fortunately, I never attempted to get them published—I just kept writing for
fun. Then one day, I attended a workshop at a local library where an author
spoke of her writing journey and had just published her first book. That really
awoke a dormant desire to see my stories in print.
How do you create your characters?
It’s different with each story.
Sometimes, they come to me fully formed and I just need to listen to them.
Other times, I have to work at it with personality types, backstory
development, and character interviews.
What is one thing you love about
Fall/Autumn?
I love so many things about autumn!
Cooler weather is high on my list which means fuzzy socks, sweaters, jackets,
and spending more time outdoors hiking, walking, or just sitting on the porch
swing. Also, I adore leaves turning all those gorgeous shades of red, gold, and
rust. Autumn means hot apple cider and all of those amazing smells of cinnamon,
nutmeg, apples, candles, and firelight. Plus, Fall means Halloween with all the
fun decorations as well as costumes. Yes, I love dressing up! But one of the
best parts of Fall is gathering with family at Thanksgiving. My grown children
can’t always come home for Christmas, so they often come home for “Thanks-mas”
where we celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday, then spend Friday decorating the
house for Christmas so we can celebrate Christmas on Saturday. Usually everyone
leaves on Sunday so they can return for jobs and college. We get in every
family tradition that we can during the time we have.
Who is the person or group of
people that most support you in your writing?
My sisters-in-law were always super
supportive and encouraging. Once I got published and brought home that first
royalty check, my husband got on board and stopped viewing it as a time-consuming
and expensive hobby, and started seeing it as a career—one that pays horribly,
but still offering a monetary payoff. Now, one of my nieces is my one of my
go-to proofreaders as well as one of my staunchest supporters. I also couldn’t
have done it without my local RWA group, my online Regency research group
the Beau Monde, and my local American Night Writers Association
chapters. Also, I’d be remiss if I didn’t give a shout out to my awesome,
wonderful, amazing critique partners, beta readers, and proofreaders. They say
it takes a village to raise a child; it also takes a village to raise a book.
What is your favorite Halloween
Memory?
One of my favorites was when my third
child was about a year old. After a dinner of baked potato soup, I put the baby
in a stroller and followed around my older two children from house to house. My
seven-year-old son was a ninja, my six-year-old daughter was a fox with big,
fluffy tail, and the baby was a fuzzy bear complete with little bear pads on
his feet. I guess animals were popular in our family. I enjoyed chatting with
the neighbors, seeing everyone dressed up, and enjoying my neighbors’ reaction
to our costumes. The weather was perfect—cool enough that the costumes weren’t
too hot but not so cold that we needed to wear jackets over them. After
trick-or-treating and gathering enough candy to get a small country high on
sugar, we went home and drank hot apple cider and handed out candy. I’m not
sure why that stands out in my memory except that it epitomized the perfect
Halloween.

Fatal Strike by DiAnn Mills

Book Review Graphic

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tour in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Fatal Strike by DiAnn Mills was a really good book.  This book did keep me on the edge of my seat as I was reading it because I wasn’t sure what was going to happen next.  I love it when I can find books like this one that keeps me guessing because it makes reading the book’s fun. I love to be kept guessing about what things are going to happen. I also spent most of the book hoping that Leah and Jon would become a couple because I thought that they were perfect for each other.   I hate when I feel like that about the characters because then I spend the entire book hoping and hoping that they will end up together by the end of the book. I thought that the plot of the book was a super interesting one and one that I could see actually happening in today’s world. I love finding authors like this one that is able to make things seem like they could actually happen in the real world.  I can’t wait to read more books by this author in the future because I love this book and I am sure that I will love other books that she has written. If you love crime thrillers than I know you will enjoy this book as much as I did.

Authorities have reasons to believe the Veneno gang is behind the hits, and FBI Agents Leah Riesel and Jon Colbert team up to track down those responsible. Their best lead is an eyewitness who identifies a young man dumping the third body on a church doorstep. But their suspect has gone into hiding, and those closest to him are reluctant to reveal anything that might help investigators find him.

As Leah and Jon check connections among the victims and dig deeper into motives, they discover appearances may be deceiving. Someone is desperate to keep their secrets hidden, and Leah and Jon must face their greatest fears in order to stop the next fatal strike.

Q&A With the Author:
1.  What do you like to do
when you’re not writing?
I read and read and read, three books
a week for my crime review blog. I love old movies, too, when I’m not watching
Masterpiece Mystery. And playing outside with my two Aussie Doodle pups, Seamus
and Fiona, in nice weather is always fun. We live along a river in rural
northeastern NC and walks this time of year always end with two wet dogs!
2. What would you say is your interesting writing quirk? My desk is one half of
a vintage partner’s desk so I’m facing the back of my husband’s monitor, and
our library space is at the end of our living room. I’ve learned to write with
the television on or his own computer noises, putting myself in the zone, using
the house noises are white noise. It works most of the time. The ringing of a
telephone I find jarring though, and if I’m in that zone, will ignore it.


3. Do you have any suggestions to help budding authors become better writers?
If so, what are they? I have four main ones: 1. Read and read and read, in your
chosen genre and almost anything. You learn from reading what you like and good
literature as well as what doesn’t work. Read classics to see why their stories
have endured even if the language use seems outdates. You are searching to
develop your own writer voice. 2. Also, a good usage book on your desk is key.
Many modern writers today use their computers for dictionary-thesaurus searches
but I prefer the break looking things up in a book gives me. It clears my head.
And a usage book that’s well indexed is a great companion. Right now I’m
recommending Benjamin Dreyer’s DREYER’S ENGLISH to everyone. It’s compact and
filled with delightful footnotes, so it’s a pleasure to read and to consult. 3.
Find a writing critique buddy or join a writing group. You can find one online
if you can’t find anyone near you. It’s helpful to have a good critique partner
who knows the bones of writing and can provide honest feedback. If you are
truly a beginner, take a course first to get the basics down. 4. Write. it
doesn’t matter what, it doesn’t matter how long. Write about waht you see out
the window. Write a character study you envision and may work into a future
story. Write a setting that pleases you, and use all your senses in its
description. Write when you can and don’t dismiss even ten snatched minutes as
worthwhile. The idea of writing soon becomes ingrained and more natural. Don’t
look at a large project at first; it’s too daunting. Start small and work your
way up and you will use all of that early writing at some point. And don’t
forget to always carry a small notebook around with you. It’s useful for
jotting down ideas that hit you in the grocery story or when you’re out
driving. If you hear a snatch of great conversation, write it down. Writers are
sponges; soak up what is realistic in order to create your own world.


4. Where do you get information and ideas for your books?

I write two mystery series, one set in Manhattan
and one in England, so setting is always a starting point for me. The place
where a murder is set becomes its own character and lends itself to where my
characters will go and what they do. Since I have recurring characters, why is
Nora or Trudy in this place? Then I go to the end and figure out who will be
murdered and why. I work my back from that point and fill in the characters,
subplots, motives. I do some research before I start out but only have a vague
idea of the ‘muddled middle’ when I do and do other research as it comes up.
The idea for the actual murder usually comes from some human emotion in
overdrive: jealousy, revenge, greed, even twisted love. I do keep a file with
interesting news articles or things torn from magazines to spur ideas. The best
ones come from reality.

5. What do you think makes a good
story?
Readers are drawn to characters they
can become invested in or understand, even if they are far different from
themselves or their lives. Once they want to follow that character, that
journey becomes the bulk of the story, whether it’s Trudy figuring out a
murderer or Nora wanting to prove what’s being termed a suicide is actually a
murder someone’s getting away with. I’m a firm believer in a sense of questions
answered at the end in terms of this story; that doesn’t mean there won’t be
hint of a story to come, but most readers want to feel a sense of justice
served, in a mystery particularly, and that the puzzle has been solved and the
questions raised answered. 
6. Tell us about your favorite summer
vacation? Or what do you like to do in the summer? Every other year I visit the
UK to do setting research, so those are clearly my favorites. Sometimes my
husband accompanies me, and we will build in side trips to France or Belgium,
as we did one year. Last summer we spent a week in Cornwall and a week in
Cambridge for the next two Nora books. I was writing the new Trudy, Death at the
Dakota, at that time, but this is for the next two Nora Tierney’s to follow. We
had a few days in London visiting friends but with a week in each place, were
able to really soak up the feel, meet locals, tour the area, and take lots of
photos. Each summer my own writing group meets for a week, too, so there is
that to look forward to. We usually travel to each other’s homes as we are
spread out throughout the US, but this year is our fifteenth year working
together, so we are treating ourselves to meeting in Old City Quebec and will
have time to workshop manuscripts and visit the sites. I’m looking forward to
that!
