After reading the interview, be sure to check out her blog, Shell's Musings at http://shellmusings.blogspot.com. And away we go! Welcome Michele to The Dirt Blog! 8 Comments ![]() Not very long ago, I introduced you to one of the lovely Lazy Day Publishing authors, Liz Borino. I am thrilled to be able to share a bit about more of the Lazy Day Founding authors, starting tonight with Thomas Drinkard, author of Piety and Murder, debuting December 1st, 2010. Please welcome Thomas to The Dirt, and don't forget to check out his own blog at https://brinson1.wordpress.com/ And now, on to our interview with Thomas.... Latest Lazy Day Authors #LDchat log is available below. Normally, I would leave the flow alone in the chat as I gather the transcript, but this time, since we were introducing the main characters of our novels, something that required more than one tweet for most of us, I altered only to keep each introduction complete without interruption.
Social networking: It's a must for any author releasing a book via digital publisher. Our audience isn't standing outside a book store, they're surfing the web, looking for the next download.
Organized a Twitter chat on Wednesday featuring the founding authors of Lazy Day Publishing. Great success! It was incredibly fun getting to know one another and beginning the process of getting our names out there. If you're on Twitter, save the #LDchat hashtag and plan on joining in, we'll be back again soon with another chat session! Inaugural #LDchat log is available below:
Did some brainstorming about how to introduce the world to the awesome Lazy Day authors, and came up with this little nugget.
One more reason why I adore the SCWW conference? The South Carolina Writer's Workshop offers the Carrie McCray Memorial Literary Awards in three categories: Novel-First Chapter, Poetry, and Non-Fiction. And despite being a Nervous Nellie about entering competitions, I was bolstered enough by my win in the In Other Words Competition at the Pennwriters Conference earlier in the year to dare submitting work in a couple categories. Guess what? I won second place in the Non-Fiction category! Needless to say, I am incredibly thrilled to have my work selected for such a fantastic award. So let me publicly thank the South Carolina Writer's Workshop and the judges who reviewed the entries. Did I mention I'm over the moon about this? Because I am! Annnnd conference over. Sad. I don't leave until tomorrow, so I get another night of the surf lulling me to sleep before I must return to reality.
I feel like I should pretend I'm busy writing my little patootie off, but what I'm really doing is lounging on a squishy bed with my balcony door open, listening to the ocean waves.
I have arrived in Myrtle Beach for the South Carolina Writer's Workshop. I should probably be downstairs searching out the registration desk, but I decided I need pizza more right now. Wanna see the view?
