Complete Woman Interview!

My non-fiction writing partner Christie Craig and I are featured in the October issue of Complete Woman magazine, on sale everywhere this August.  (It’s the issue with Kim Kardashian on the cover.)

Christie and I are a couple of the relationship experts (courtesy of Wild, Wicked and Wanton, of course.  :) ) on an article called 10 Ways to Charm Anyone (& Get What You Want.)

Fun Writing-Related Videos

My non-fiction writing partner Christie Craig and I had a lot of fun creating these fun, but informative, videos about the writing life

First, the Great Agent Hunt — if you’re a writer, or an agent or editor, I’m sure you can relate.  I have to thank not only literary agents Caren Estesen from Caren Johnson Lit Agency and Jessica Faust and Kim Lionetti from BookEnds, but authors Jody Payne, Teri Thackston, Ruth Kenjura and Alison Atwater.  (BTW, Alison was a 2010 RWA Golden Heart finalist for Best Historical.  Congrats, Alison!)

The Great Agent Hunt

Next, is How to Make the Perfect Pitch to an Agent or Editor Without Striking Out.  Romance author Terri McLaughlin is such a hoot as the pitching author in this one.  And I need to send out a special thanks to Senior Editor Christopher Keeslar of Dorchester Publishing and agent Kim LIonetti of BookEnds for indulging us (rather than calling security.)

How to Make The Perfect Pitch:

Hope you enjoy!
