I’d call it my guilty pleasure but it’s not really guilty at all.It is however a huge part of the reason why I spend entirely too much time online. As I wrote in my  A is for Author post  I’ve written fanfiction since before I knew there was such a thing.  It’s a long time since I written any fanfiction but it’s one of my goals to do so this year.  Although the idea that I have is so wildly different from the show (NCIS) it would be based on that I’d have to do little more than change the names and city where it’s set and I’d have an original work. Which might be 100 times more sensible. READ MORE...

First is another chick lit book, and the second is another YA, again kind of a science fiction type of story. READ MORE...

O is for Open Hearted Cover links to Amazon.com In the beginning, embarking on a journey into Twitter is much like being lost at sea.  I discovered Scott Southard’s post, "Drowning in Tweets" at such a time.  Since that time, I have been struck by his open heartedness when sharing on his blog.  He is not afraid to be honest about who he is as an author, as a person.  He doesn't shy away from sharing his struggles and triumphs.  My favorite story of triumph is the story behind A Jane Austin's Daydream and how it came to be.... it’s one you don’t want to miss! Mark's Note: this is a repeat nomination. Scott was nominated for the letter H.

She's all poisons and prose. This Ne'er-do-well keeps her subversive side secret by helping the homeless while researching the seedy underbelly of society.  Mark's Note : This nomination came about after a conversation with Liana on Twitter. I liked the humor so I had no problem allowing it. Sometimes the best compliment comes in the form of snark.

He is honest in his fiction as well as in his blog posts, in which he breaks barriers down. There is a definitive quality to his work that speaks for itself. He doesn't dress it up in bows and poetry it's raw and honest in a way that makes the reader think.

K is for knowledge Cover links to Amazon.com I met Christine on a writing site. She's an amazing writer, but more than that she's a wall of knowledge. This knowledge is not limited to the writing style, but it goes beyond it. She is a teacher, a feminist, a responsible citizen, and a friend. I've gained so much from our conversations (and her blog). She is not afraid to talk or write about the subject as is evident from her blog. A feminist to the core, she writes pretty fiction, and shows the woman who are real and not wuss.
