Why did you take part in the A to Z Challenge the year that your book was "given life"?
It's the ten year anniversary. I'm very excited to be a co-host of the A to Z Challenge. This is an incredible community.
Why did you start blogging?
This is answered in my very first blog post. "You may wonder why I started a blog. I may wonder that too! Actually, this blog was started because I heard about the A to Z challenge from some NaNoWriMo friends."
Do you have any other books coming out soon?
This is my current new publication.
"WRITING BOOK REVIEWS AS AN AUTHOR:
INSPIRATION TO MAKE IT EASIER"
I have several stories in the works though.
What other books do you have available?
"Fractions of Existence"
Amazon An urban fantasy. Free on Kindle Unlimited.
Preparing to Write Settings that Feel Like Characters - Amazon and Smashwords
Brief tip on writing:
Here's a motivational quote of mine about when you feel like giving up on writing.
Where did the idea for this book come from, other than the alphabet and the challenge?
The idea came from interviewing so many debut authors at Operation Awesome. I noticed that some authors reviewed a lot of books, and others had never written one. I set out to inspire those who didn't write reviews. It turned out to be long enough for a month of blog posts (this coming April). Then I noticed I had enough to make a reference book.
What writing goal do you hope to accomplish this year?
My biggest writing goal this year is to publish two books in 2019.

A great post to read. I read this with this keen interest.
Yvonne.
Hi Jr ... good to see you at J's blog - where you've given us lots of information. I'm glad the A-Z has reached its tenth year ... congratulations to Lee and Alex, who with others instigated it way back then. Looking forward to it - cheers Hilary
I love that you two are sharing today. 💞
Love these posts. J and JR rock!
Looking forward to this tour and to the blogging challenge in April!
I'm not sure if this is the placxe to comment that - I write book reviews because as a writer I've learnt that they can be so uplifting...maybe not when they are one star and negative. But then if I feel that I'm about to write a three stars or lower review I contact the author privately instead = no review.
I actually cover my thoughts on this in my book. Depending on why you don't like a book, it might be something that someone else does like. For example, some people enjoy heart-wrenching novels that ought to be sold with a box of tissues. Others would rather rip out their own eyes than read that. If the issue is poor editing though, then yes, contacting the author is a good idea.
Sounds like a good choice for me! If I won one of the prizes on the raffle, I'd like the $10 Amazon gift card so I can get some of these amazing books on the blog tour, including this one!
