Segregation?

It was a toss up as to what I was going to blog about today. There’s the ever popular promotion blog … or there was the discussion of the pros and cons of the ebook signing at the RT conference this year. You may have heard about it. This year in Pittsburgh, RT decided to hold a book signing for the e-pubbed authors on Wednesday and the usual signing for the print authors on Saturday.

Print Release of 'Forget About Tomorrow'

My turn to blog again? Hmm … that came up fast. Oh wait! This is Sunday. I get to announce the print release of my first romantic science fiction ‘Forget About Tomorrow’. I thought blogging about the eformat release was exciting. Knowing that my baby is gonna be out there in the hands of reader is infinitely more so.

Descriptions - When Is It Too Much?

I’m sure someone has talked about this before … or maybe I have. So many blogs — so little time. Still, everyone has their own perspective and I’m going to share mine.

New Release - PROMISE FOR TOMORROW by Liz Kreger

I’m happy to announce the release of the second book of my Tomorrow series – PROMISE FOR TOMORROW.

Genre: Romantic Sci-Fi
ISBN: 1-59998-694-9
Length: Novel

Dodging assassins and political intrigue, Rianna and Jhaan fight to bring a promise of hope to a world on the edge of extinction.

I’m including a brief excerpt. I hope you enjoy my story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Slice and Dice

Cutting those superfluous scenes … painful, ain’t it? You have a scene that’s absolutely perfect. The setting is terrific, the characters are in place, the mood is dark … but it doesn’t move the story forward. (Thud!) What do you do? You slice it. That wonderful scene has got to go. No matter how much it hurts you have to make a clean cut. Otherwise your story may grind to a messy halt.

The Attraction of Vamps

What is it about Vamps that draws the reader? And the writer, for that matter. According to a book I read years ago by Stephen King … “Danse Macabre”, I think it was … he’s of the opinion that vampires are dead from the waist down. Don’t quite recall the exact quote (it was a number of years ago when I read it), but it really made sense.

FORGET ABOUT TOMORROW

I’m absolutely thrilled that my first book is being released by Samhain Publishing today. A dream come true. So many authors have worked long and hard to get published and I’m breathing a huge sigh of relief to realize that I’m one of them.

I’m including a short excerpt with this announcement. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. LOL

Bitten by the Writing Bug!

What made you first start writing? I’d been doing it for years … off and on. I always knew I wanted to be a writer, I just never found my nitch. After reading probably 10,000 Harlequin categories, I tried writing ‘em, but they weren’t for me. Had no problem reading them, but I couldn’t finish writing one.
