My mom is on the Library Foundation board, and invited me back home for the event. I thought I'd document my experience.<br />
<br />
First of all, I took my eldest daughter to school, and then hubby, the 4yo, and I drove to SLC Intl Airport. I was afraid I wouldn't make my flight, because the line through security was like Disneyland, no joke. But the guards came through and announced they were bringing on the morning K-9 team and we'd start moving pretty quick after that.<br />
I wanted to take a picture of my vibram boots, suitcase, and sexy computer bag when I got closer to X-Ray time, but the line really was moving fast.<br />
I got through without a hitch, and felt a lot better once I made it to the gate.<br />
I've been flying almost my entire life. I started flying alone when I was 6 or 8, I forget. I'd go from Utah to Boston or New York (and then to Boston) every summer to be with my family. So I'm no stranger to traveling. The only thing I can say is that having been a student of Taekwondo for the past year has giving me a lot more confidence, and lessened my anxiety (the prescription drugs help too, lol)<br />
Anyway, my first plane was to Vegas. Now you'd think gate C would be close to gate B, but McCarran is a whole other beast! It's literally a half mile walk from C to B. I had an hour layover though, and was thoroughly delighted to see Jersey Mike's Subs between the gates. So I stopped and got a nice, hot Reuben. They also have these super cool kiosks all over the airport that have ACTUAL FOOD. I'm pretty sure I even saw sushi in one. So I swung by and snagged a vitamin water, and pretzels & hummus too. It was a feast<br />
Oh, by the way, step had been going around my town, and I was sick. So that hot reuben was pretty fantastic.<br />
Then it was on my way to LAX, California.<br />
I don't know about you, but whenever I see LAX, I think LAXATIVE.<br />
Now, being sick, I was carrying a few packets of Emergen-C with me and liked to mix them up with sprite. So when the steward came by to take my order, I asked for a can of sprite. He asked if I'd like him to shake it up for me.<br />
He was trying to be funny.<br />
The irony was that the flight was so turbulent, it probably did the job for him. No sooner had the crew taken our orders than the captain ordered them to their seats for the duration of the flight.<br />
Once we landed, I met my mom as the bottom of the escalator and we were off.<br />
Guess what? She was sick too!<br />
Don't we make a pair?<br />
From LAX it is a 3 hour drive to the little urban-rural town of Lompoc ("lawm-poke", not "lamb-pack")<br />
Finally, I get to show you a little diddy on the drive. When you think of California, you probably think surfers, palm trees, and sunshine.<br />
I had forgotten how green the place was this time of year. When I posted this on my Facebook page, I joked "Ireland or Cali?"<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That's my mom talking & coughing, and me demanding Sushi! I was started really looking forward to finally meeting my mom's friends, Bill & Lynn. Plus Asian food. Plus SUSHI!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We stopped for a few things on the way home. My mom had to work, and I didn't want her to have to worry about feeding me, so I grabbed some protein powder & coconut milk, and went on our merry way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We went to Applebees for dinner, and that's when I got the first chance to call home. Hubby answers, and proceeds to tell me how all Hell broke loose!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The 4yo proceeded to puke in the car on the way home. Poor man pulled over to the gas station and did the best he could until they got home and he could get her comfortable. They had to pick up sissy (the 8yo) later that afternoon, and 4yo started puking again. Yay?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A day later the 8yo would come home early from school with the gambu (local bug) and slept the rest of the day. Sheesh! My poor husband. Doesn't he get punished enough putting up with me?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, Ma & I were pretty beat after dinner and went to bed. The following morning I parked my butt on her couch to get some work done, and couldn't help staring at the voluptuousness of the neighbor's orange tree!</div>

I seriously could've reached through the window and grabbed one. Later on, my mom said the neighbor lady didn't care, so I totally scored a couple. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even though we were sick, Ma & I did a lot of running around. I started feeling a little bit like her prize pony as I got shown off to all her important friends. My mom's always been good at making the right connections, and sometimes it's phone calls like:</div>
"Who was that?"<br />
"Oh, that was just the Mayor."<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"JUST the Mayor?!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Friday I got to visit my old high school and talk to the kids about the importance of writing and how being an indie author/publisher these days is a legitimate career choice. Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that these guys were infants when I graduated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Saturday was the big event, and I helped Ma & the library foundation set up for the event. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is before I realized:</div>
"Hey, May, y'know what would be hilarious? If we got a GIANT CHICKEN for the centerpiece."<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She was kinda flustered at that point, and got down with her New York accent. "Where the $#@% are we going to find that?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Um... at a lawn decoration store?"</div>
"There's no place like that 'round here"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Until her friends reminded her we could check the dollar store. My mom is a dollar store hound. She instantly relaxed. "Oh, oh. Okay. We could do that."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And y'know what folks? We found that giant chicken. And some real egg shells, dyed and filled with confetti. I wish I had a picture of the finished table, cuz it was adorbs!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also I do this trick with a dish rag where I can fold it to make it look like a dead chicken. So when it was my turn to get up and speak, I told everyone to look for a dead chicken under their table. I hid one of my folded chicken rags under a table, and a little boy found it. He won a copy of <u>A Piece of Sky</u> and started reading it right away! I was thrilled.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And y'know what else was in that room besides awesome authors & patrons? ART! I just had to take pictures of all the best ones.</div>

I made sure to take a picture with the names on the tags of the artists, so if you enlarge the pictures you'll see. I saved the best for last though. I was absolutely in love with this piece:</div>

That's me. Unamused to be awake at 5 in the freaking morning. I got up at 3:45a so I could make the 5a bus, an hour away from my mom's place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, I did have this to enjoy on the way to LAX. Sunrise over California:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And again, it was back from LAX to Vegas. This is me being a dork in McCarran, making that long-@$$ walk from B gate to C gate. I'm lip syncing Danke Schoen which you can barely hear if you turn the volume up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And because I'm a dork, I completely walked past my gate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do things like that when I have too much time on my hands between layovers. When I was 15, I had a layover in the Atlanta, GA airport and I rode the train for an hour, because I could. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But here comes my favorite part, you guys. </div>

I've always been passionate about books written for kids ages 9 through 12. Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, <i>Fablehaven</i>, <i>Diary of a Wimpy Kid</i>... <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="222d23ab-ca5a-49b5-a515-2c21ac87ef3d" id="4b4bf092-1562-4123-a745-11eb621d94bc">all</gs> excellent. :-) I wrote <i>The Key of Kilenya</i> when my younger brother, Josh, who was 12 at the time, told me there weren't enough books for him to read. He'd ripped through everything our local library had and was hungry for more.<br />
<br />
I dedicate this promotion to him and to all other readers who love and are searching for books written for middle graders!<br />
<br />
<b>The Multi-Author Middle-Grade Book Promotion starts January 4, 2016 and ends January 7, 2016.</b><br />

Nicole Williams is an Areteâa fourth child with magical abilitiesâyet no matter how hard she tries, she canât Channel her power. In fact, she seems to be the only student at Katon University who fails at magic.<br />
<br />
This doesnât stop her from competing to be included on a university-led expedition to Arches National Park. She is determined to show everyone, but mostly herself, that she does belong. Yet, to qualify for the trip, she must produce at least a speck of Wind magic, and that appears to be impossible.<br />
<br />
Nicole turns to her best friend, Lizzie, for help, along with fellow student Austin Young, who is considered by all a magical rarity. He also happens to be the hottest guy on campus and just might be interested in her.<br />
<br />
As the competition progresses, Nicole wonders if sheâs making the right choiceâespecially when she learns that the strange fossils theyâll be studying in Arches might not be as dead as everyone thinks.<br />

Androids have claimed power over what remains of the human race. They rule without remorse. They are the Mind and humans exist only to serve them. But it wasn't always so. Before the android uprising, select droids, called Servants, were pivotal in engineering a new human race with nanotechnology enhanced DNA. The Blood Crown theorem was to be humanity's crowning glory and the key to their survival in deep space. But Serantha, Daughter of the West, was the last female to receive Gifts from her Servant and when the Mind mutinied, she was hidden away, and presumed dead. Without Serantha there is no hope of the Blood Crown being realized so Nicolai, Son of the East, abandons his crown to join the rebel forces. He might not provide the future for his people he had once dreamed of, but he will not go down without a fight. When Nicolai discovers Sera among a small compliment of kitchen staff, everything changes--but Sera's Gifts were never completed and she is ill-equipped to face a legion of androids determined to wipe her, and every other human, out of existence. Their only hope is the Blood Crown--but even if Serantha and Nicolai can realize their potential it may be too late to save mankind.<br />

<br />
In the nineteen-sixties, a group of wealthy men concludes that it's already too late to stop global warming from destroying the planet. But they have a plan to save themselves.<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div>

Twenty years later, Jack Crowley and Jim Patterson stumble onto the conspiracy, and every answer they find is accompanied by more questions - and more deaths.<br />

<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
Jack is a former idealist, turned cynical by his years working as a New York tabloid editor. But his enthusiasm returns as he looks into the work of a NASA scientist who tells Jack about cover-ups at the space agency. Jim is a detective with little patience for conspiracy nuts. But he hates loose ends, and is unable to let go of the inconsistencies in another suspicious NASA death. Soon, his investigation leads him to Jack, and they join forces.<br />

As Jack and Jim dig deeper, they are targeted by the type of killers that don't usually miss. From Washington to Las Vegas to the Middle East, they manage to stay one step ahead of their pursuers in a race to expose the truth, and maybe, just maybe, save the world.<br />

Wilcox and Beckstrand weave authentic detail and care for the terrain and its creatures into a mystery that will make your heart pound and fill your lungs with the ârarefied airâ of the old Sierra Nevada Mountains.<br />

Want to make millions (or even billions) as an entrepreneur in just 18 months?<br />
<div>

So did I. And I used to read anything that promised it.<br />

Death, Life, or LoveâUnbounded Always Play for Keeps<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
There are only two ways to kill Unbounded, and fire isnât one of themâas law school dropout Erin Radkey learns the hard way. By fluke of a recessive gene, she has become Unbounded, a nearly immortal being with paranormal abilities.<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
Erinâs Change separates her from her loved ones and alters everything she believes to be true. A week earlier she was considering a marriage proposal; now she contemplates the best way to stay alive. Caught in a battle between two Unbounded groups, the Emporium and the Renegades, she is also hunted by a secret mortal society sworn to eradicate the Unbounded gene.<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
As Erin plunges into this dangerous new life, she must carve out her own place in the madness, protect her mortal family, and decide which group she should join. Her unique ability is vital to both groups in the race to secure an identification software that spells death for all Unboundedâor enslavement for the entire mortal world. Some will stop at nothing to use Erin as one more pawn in a battle that has spanned centuries. Erinâs undeniable attraction to Ritter Langton, whose family was massacred by opposing Unbounded two hundred and forty years ago, complicates her choices. There are no second chances. Death, life, or loveâUnbounded always play for keeps.<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
Non-stop action, terrifying consequences, and powerful romance make The Change an exciting addition to the world of romantic urban fantasy.<br />

<b>What am I working on?</b><br /><br />I just released book two in my series, The
Shadows Breathe Series. So right now, I'm working on book three, which
will hopefully be released early next year. This will be the last book
in the series for now, as I want to work on other projects afterwards.<br /><br /><b>How does my work differ from others in its genre?</b><br /><br />I
think my series is just different because it's a young adult story
about a horse trainer with no real super powers set in present day.
Definitely different from the stories dominating the YA world right now.
And with characters that anyone can relate to, it's a story that anyone
can enjoy, whether from the horse world or not. <br /><br /><b>Why do I write what I do?</b><br /><br />I write what makes me happy!<br /><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20767428.The_Shadows_Breathe" title="The Shadows Breathe">
<img alt="The Shadows Breathe by Kathleen Marentes" class="escapedImg" src="https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1392084423s/20767428.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22481518.The_Shadows_Fall__The_Shadows_Breathe_Series__2_" title="The Shadows Fall (The Shadows Breathe Series #2)">
<img alt="The Shadows Fall (The Shadows Breathe Series #2) by Kathleen Marentes" class="escapedImg" src="https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1402925411s/22481518.jpg" /></a><br /><b><br />How does my writing process work?</b><br /><br />I
start out by listening to a lot of music to get ideas. I watch the book
in my head like a movie, and music helps set the mood. Once the mood is
established, I can write an outline. The outline is flexible, and
generally changes drastically by the time the book is written, but it
gives me a map to follow as I go. With four kids, I don't have a lot of
time to write, and it can get frustrating! But they do sleep (me, not so
much!). <br /><u> </u><br />

<b>What am I working on?</b><br />
I'm in the editing stages of Fallen, my
fractured retelling of The Frog Prince. After that I'll be co-writing a
highly imaginative new fantasy novel with a 6-year-old titled In The
Mean While, and then doing a retelling of Chicken Little (A Piece of
Sky)<br />
<br />
<b>How does my work differ from others in its genre?</b><br />
I
add Celtic elements to my stories, and set them in alternate Ireland. I
like to think I have a unique sense of humor when its required (nobody
will expect a chicken to have her own POV in Fallen!)<br />
<br />
<b>Why do I write what I do?</b><br />
Initially
it started as a way to discover my Irish roots and learn about Irish
mythology, but it's branched into so much more. I used to be a pretty
prolific writer, churning out 20 novels in 4 years. I got burnt out and
so I've been using these Celtic fractured fairy tales as a way to get
my mojo back and shake off the cobwebs.<br />
<br />
<b>How does my writing process work?</b><br />
I
take care of my kids all day, yearning to write. They go to the bed
and I spend the next 2 hours procrastinating writing. Somehow I manage
to get out 1000-2000 words per evening anyway. Then the book goes off
to content editors, I fix the problems, and send it off to my head
editor. Another 2 edits from there and we have a publishable manuscript
(about 5-6 thorough edits)

Last Tuesday, May 27, I finished the first draft of Fallen. My 25,000 word project came in at 57,509. It's off with proofreaders now, and preparing for editing to develop the next several drafts before handing it off to my editor and hammering out the final drafts. <br />
Between books, I force myself to take a one week break. It's hard because I usually panic the first day off, not knowing what to do with myself, then exhaustion hits by day 3, and I start feeling more human again on day 4. I start getting tempted to draft the next book by day 5.<br />
So here I'm sitting, day 5/6, itching to draft the next book and waiting for Fallen to return from the boxing ring. I'm watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic with my almost-six-year-old. I've really enjoyed this version of the beloved franchise. It's got a great story line, and interesting characters. The episode I'm taking in today is where Rarity is designing dresses for her friends and they keep wanting changes. She presents them with these wonderful, gorgeous dresses that showcase her strengths, and they demand she match their desires.<br />
Editing a novel is not unlike this process. You write the best first draft you possibly can and hand it off to those you trust. They request changes that they think will make the piece stronger.<br />

<br />
You start editing, you try to make it better, you do the best you can, but you feel completely inadequate. Then it starts. You're so paranoid about producing perfection that you haven't seen your friends in weeks. They're worried you'll become the crazy cat lady. Don't be the crazy cat lady!<br />
Don't let perfect be the enemy of the best product you can produce at this point in time. Follow your brilliant design and trust your instincts. Fix the plot holes, put the commas and semicolons in their place, show that sagging middle who's boss AND MOVE ON! <br />
You can't please everybody, but you can put in your best effort.<br />
<br />
So do it! Give it 110%. The feedback isn't personal. It's business. Which brings me to reviews. I love when I get a review, even if it's negative. It means the book evoked enough emotion from the reader to voice their opinion about their reading experience. That alone should say something to you. That's what every author's goal is, right? To make the reader feel something. You succeeded. So say thank you to those 1 star review posters. Know that you gave it your best shot. You can't please everyone.<br />

Write because it makes you happy.<br />
Don't be the crazy cat lady.<br />
Oh and did I mention don't try to please everyone?<br />

My biggest realization: writing is like parenting. <br />
It's a well known fact that authors think of their books as their babies. I've even seen authors announce the completion of a book as though it were a birth announcement. "My Super Awesome Novel was born at 5:28 P.M., coming in at 150 pages and 60,000 words. Mom is tired, but doing well." Yeah, I'm not joking. But much like birth, your job is not really done after pushing that baby out into the world. Quite the opposite. Your journey has just begun. I liken writing a book to raising a child. I have two. Kids, I mean. I also have two books out, coincidentally (see Moonlight & The Subtle Beauty to the right). You dream of your kid being one way, of all that they're going to achieve, only to realize that they are going to be their own person, with their own goals and nuances. Fallen was a particularly troubling "child". I wanted a dark, dramatic fantasy about the downfall of Sylas Mortas. Do you know what I got instead? The Mad Hatter's Tea Party. I fought it for a long time. It was painful. Words were a tooth and nail struggle. There were tears shed and unkind words said. Incidentally, I'm over a month behind. I wanted to be finished early in April so I could spend the month editing and release it May 1. Here I am still writing it (staring at the last four chapters and unsure how long each will be. I've still got a lot of ground to cover.) I was really frustrated that it was not the book I wanted it to be. It was going in the wrong direction. We were butting heads. It was behaving exactly as my oldest child has lately. She's been having behavioral issues in school, and it was a nightmare to try to get her homework done. Long story short, do you know what the answer was? <br />
STOP. FIGHTING.<br />
Also, more love. A major change of attitude toward my child.<br />
But the biggest part was to just stop fighting. Approach everything in a different direction. Do you know what happened? A miracle. <br />
When I stopped fighting my oldest child and approaching her with a different, more positive attitude, it's like we "clicked". It worked so well, in fact, that I got an email from her teacher last night. My daughter is one of the only kids in her class that doesn't have any homework to catch up on the rest of the school year. Everyone else is getting packets of work. We went from taking days to complete one sheet to cranking out 4-6 a day all because I changed MY attitude and found ways to avoid fighting. <br />
Fallen was exactly the same. Once I changed my attitude toward the book and realized it was going to be the story it wanted to be and not what I wanted, everything started falling into place. Where I had struggled to find my usual, easy, poetic voice for 7 chapters, it suddenly came when I let the book be whacky.<br />
All you can really do is point the book (or your child) toward the plot points and let them hit them in the way they need to. Don't force it. Don't fight it. Let it be the spirit it's going to be. <br />
<br />
Whenever I have a negative attitude, I think of something my chiropractor said to me: <br />
<b><i>"Change your story."</i></b><br />
<br />
Try to find the positive in the situation. You don't have writer's block. You're simply approaching the problem from the wrong angle. Stay positive. Keep thinking of ways to avoid the fight, and then tackle the work. <br />
<br />
May the Muse be with You!<br />

Now's your chance to snag a copy of the upcoming twisted tale of FALLEN-- featuring the villain of Moonlight & The Subtle Beauty, Sylas Mortas.Ann Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14455826200745369521noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344990372232383371.post-80842485564988567502014-04-27T17:39:00.001-06:002014-04-27T17:39:18.444-06:00Review: Growing Amaranth<br /> <a style='float: left; padding-right: 20px' href='http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21982305'><img alt='Growing Amaranth' border='0' src='/assets/nocover/111x148.png'/></a><br /> <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21982305'>Growing Amaranth</a> by <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/8168642'>Toney Larson</a><br/><br /> My rating: <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/917935817'>4 of 5 stars</a><br /> <br/><br/><br /> I had the honor of reading an advanced copy of Growing Amaranth.<br /><br />Growing Amaranth is the story of a tortured soul, bound to the chains of a selfish, overbearing mother. When two young boys befriend Amaranth and teach her important life lessons, Mother retaliates in a terrifying way. This is not your Tangled tale, folks. Larson lends a unique, earthy voice that sweeps you along in her debut novel. I can't wait to read her next one! <br /> <br/><br/><br /> <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/917935817'>View all my reviews</a><br /> Ann Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14455826200745369521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344990372232383371.post-11028945199084073622014-04-15T14:27:00.004-06:002014-04-15T14:27:45.990-06:00The Accessible WriterRecently a best selling author, one whom I respect and admire, posted on her blog that she is not accessible. She is a writer and a busy wife and mom. She tours and teaches. She gives back to the writing community. But she is not accessible to the fans who email her. Here is the link to that post if you really want to read it (<a href="http://oinks.squeetus.com/2014/04/i-am-not-accessible.html">http://oinks.squeetus.com/2014/04/i-am-not-accessible.html</a>)<br />
<br />
I get it. I do, really. But y'know what? I'm a mom, too. I cart my kid to and from school daily, in addition to extracurricular activities such as tae kwon do (she's working toward her junior black belt right now). I run errands. I do chores. I shop. I cook. I try to clean and do laundry. I market all my books myself because I can't afford a publicist (yet). I hang out with friends. I read. I blog. I write. Daily. <br />
<br />
I try to interact with the small amount of fans I have on my <a href="http://facebook.com/authorannhunter" target="_blank">author page</a>. I do whatever I must to sell a copy of one of my books each day. It's exhausting. And you know what?<br />
<br />
I'm still accessible.<br />
<br />
I made a vow when I was young, decades before I was published, that I would try my very best to always be accessible to my readers. I am nothing without my readers. I would kill to have as many readers as the non-accessible writers do.<br />

I received my first paycheck from January's sales of The Subtle Beauty from Amazon (about enough to put gas in the car if you want to know). I figure once you get your first paycheck doing a job, it's official. You are that thing you do.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'M A WRITER!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
People pay to read my train wrecks.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Wait. Was that aloud?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyway, I want to thank my friends, followers, and readers for their support. THANK YOU! And share exciting news.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am 5 copies away from breaking $100 in sales for the month. If you haven't read <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HNJX0Q2" target="_blank">The Subtle Beauty</a> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IRUBQR6" target="_blank">Moonlight</a>, would you please consider picking up a copy today? $100 in sales for the month is a big milestone for an indie author. I can buy more ISBNs to write more books. Or groceries. Groceries are good. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Second exciting news:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The work for the cover of my upcoming book, Fallen, has started. I got a sneak peek at it. It's going to be cool. It's either going to have Sylas Mortas on the cover or a chicken.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That's right. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A. CHICKEN.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Because the mad genius in me believes that no one will be able to resist finding out why a story of the frog prince has anything to do with a chicken. It totally does by the way. Fallen's catch phrase is simple:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>One prince. One mistake. One... chicken?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Epic, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You're going to want to read it!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Last, but not least, and certainly not to discourage you from checking out <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HNJX0Q2" target="_blank">The Subtle Beauty</a> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IRUBQR6" target="_blank">Moonlight</a> today, buuuuut...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>MOONLIGHT IS ON KINDLE COUNTDOWN!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
April 3 - 9</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So share that news with your friends and hide yo'kids (mainly so you can read in peace), cuz I want you to support an indie author today, okay? :D</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
May the muse be with you!</div>

Ann Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14455826200745369521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344990372232383371.post-29274615042825743542014-03-24T14:07:00.000-06:002014-03-31T08:43:37.606-06:00Author Blog Chain Hop-- Helping Authors Help ThemselvesI try to be the kind of a friend that a friend would like to have, and I try to have that reflect in my professional life as well. Honest, loyal, helpful. As a writer, I believe I have the power to influence others. It probably helps that my mother had this knack for convincing anyone that frozen ketchup on a stick is a cherry popsicle-- I surely picked up a few tricks from her, including DNA ;)<br />
That said, I also believe in supporting fellow indie authors and friends in their righteous endeavors. So when I was invited to participate in an author blog chain hop, I jumped at the chance. It serves my need to help other indie authors, as well as potentially bringing more readers to this blog (and perpetuating the cycle). I'm all about the good mojo/karma. I firmly believe I am on the earth for a purpose, and writing is it. It empowers me to empower others.<br />
<br />
So about this author blog hop chain hoobie-doo. The idea is to answer a few questions and tag four other authors. If you would like to participate, copy the questions below, answer them, then tag four other authors (hopefully myself as one of them, since you got this here), and encourage the chain to keep going!<br />
<br />
Now on to the Q&A that you're surely dying to know. <br />
<br />
<b>What am I working on?</b><br />
Right now I'm working on Fallen. The anti-hero is none other than Sylas Mortas, villain of The Subtle Beauty & Moonlight. Sylas has informed me he is a fallen frog prince. We all know the story of the frog prince, but we don't often hear how he was turned into a frog. Sylas has shared that information with me. Ciatlllait & Crwys make an appearance too.<br />
I'm also in the process of brainstorming In The Mean While, which I'll be writing with a special 6-year-old over the summer. It's highly imaginative and full of adventure. I can't wait.<br />
The other book that's currently in the works is The Rose in the Briar. It's a twisted retelling of Sleeping Beauty told through the prince and Rose's wicked father. It's also a backstory for Glory's (MC of The Subtle Beauty) ancestors.<br />
<br />
<b>How does my work differ from others of its genre?</b><br />
When asked what I write, I usually just tell the person "Young Adult". I don't like to limit myself to just one sub genre. I write what excites me, whether it be sword & sorcery, horse racing, or flamingos that fly backwards. I don't want to say I'm original, but I am a little twisted, and I think that reflects in my writing. I try to keep it clean, however, which I'm told is hard to find these days.<br />
<br />
<b>Why do I write what I do?</b><b> </b><br />
I like to think I did my best writing as a teenager. I was on fire. I cranked out 20 books in 5 years (which, I feel, is rather impressive when you stop to consider all the other things you're doing as a teenager: school, extracurricular activities, having a social life....) So that leaves me convinced that I'm perpetually in the mindset of a 14-year-old, which means I can't imagine writing anything other than YA. If I do, it's not a conscious decision. I just write what I write, however I write it, and continually seek to improve my skills.<br />
<br />
<b>How does my writing process work? </b><br />
Usually my books come to me as an idea, an image, a sound. I <i>feel</i> it. Often it's a character speaking to me. For instance, the idea of In The Mean While came to me when I heard the voice of a little boy: "My name is Acorn. I am nine. I live in a swamp. I don't remember my parents."<br />
I mean how can you resist exploring <i>that</i>?<br />
And when I say "hear" I really do mean it. I hear my characters speak as though they are sitting beside me. Their voices are quiet, but unique. I also see what's going on as though I'm watching a movie. I just write what I see on the screen. I believe there's a veil between many worlds, and that veil is thin. Who's to say these aren't real spirits wishing for their tales to be told in our world to help and uplift others? We authors are but vassals and can only hope to be worthy to express what those characters cannot without help.<br />
Also I sometimes see/sense color when I hear certain musical notes. But that's a different blog post for another day ;)<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading. I hope you continue the chain. Here's my bio if you decide to:<br />
<br />
<b>Ann Hunter</b><br />
Ann Hunter wrote her first multi-award winning story before age 13. She
is the author of the young adult fantasy novels The Subtle Beauty,
Moonlight, Fallen, The Rose In The Briar, and Ashes. She likes cherry
soda with chocolate ice cream, is a mom first and a writer second, has a
secret identity, and thinks the Twilight movies are cheesier than cheez
whiz (which is why they are her guilty pleasure!)<br />
She lives in a cozy Utah home with her two awesome kids and epic husband. <br />
She is the author of The Subtle Beauty & Moonlight, with Fallen expected in May, and The Rose in the Briar in July, and two others by January 2015.<br />

<b>Leo Featherstone</b><br />
Born in 1984, Leo Featherstone earned a BA in English and an MA in
museum communication. He works as a freelance bookkeeper and archivist
in addition to writing dark fantasy. The conception of his first book
occurred when he arbitrarily sketched a vampire character in art class
one day in his junior year of high school. This initial drawing led him
to write a rough outline for his first story. It wasn't until he
graduated from college that he finally sat down and fleshed his story
out into a full novel.<br />
<br />
Ebon City: Death and the Maiden is his debut novel and he's currently working on his second, Ebon City: Bloodline.<br />

EppsOne of the things I've been wanting to do with my blog is to read and review books. I'm not taking review requests, mind you. I just want to review the books I'm currently reading or plan on reading. So I'm excited to share my very first review with you!<br />
<br />
I like to think that we authors/bloggers have the power to turn heads and eyes towards things. I want to use this power for good. I want to use this power to help other writers get attention. I know what it's like to be an indie author just waiting (and praying) for someone to pick up your book, and I know what a huge difference just one review can make.<br />
<br />
Allow me to introduce you to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EMEppsWriter" target="_blank">E.M. Epps</a>.<br />
<br />
She has another book out titled To Hell and Back Again with a Little White Dog. I'm still working my way through that one, so expect a review there at a future point in time.<br />
What I really want you to check out is her new novella, <a href="http://amzn.com/B00IZUCNVQ" target="_blank">You Made My Heart a Hunter</a>.<br />
<br />
Ms. Epps was kind enough to send me a review copy. So here's my review. I'll try to keep it to my personal reaction to it and not give any spoilers.<br />
<br />
The book opens on our heroine Lhennuen. She receives grim news that, ultimately, causes her to make a life changing decision and leave behind what she knows. She finds herself in an overwhelming new world and reaches out to God, asking that the greater force in her world do what it will with her.<br />
<br />
That alone struck me. To submit to God like that. It's not an easy thing to do. It takes courage and trust. I also thought it was really interesting how the author chose to portray God as "it". As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I have always viewed God as "He". Yet another part of me recognizes that there is also a feminine force in the world. So calling God "it" was very intriguing.<br />
<br />
As Lhennuen wanders the wilds of her world, disaster forces her to make friends and allies (and enemies too). She falls in love with a wonderful, gentle man named Yugho. I was suspicious of Yugho at first, but perhaps that is because Epps is an adept writer who has created a cautious character who can be warm, but reserved. It was easy to place oneself in Lhennuen's shoes. <br />
<br />
Disaster befalls Lhennuen again at the end of the book and once more she is forced to submit to the will of God, which just goes to show you what a strong lead she is.<br />
<br />
Long story short, I knew I would like this book right away. As a fan of Marion Zimmer Bradley's work, I felt like I was reading Priestess of Avalon or Forest House again and was in love. I really think you should give this book a try. It's only 100 pages. You can knock it out on your lunch break or before bed!<br />
