She's Hosting Pseudonym Bloggers at Today the Dragon Wins

That title makes no sense at first.

Here's what it's supposed to mean. My fantasy author, Sandy Lender, is hosting a variety of authors at her main blog, Today the Dragon Wins, throughout the month of June, to talk about their use of (or non-use of) pen names for writing. Today's guest is Lisa Haselton, whose name you might recognize because I mentioned her several days ago. She's a book reviewer and author interviewer who recently read Sandy's upcoming novel Choices Meant for Kings. You can read the review here.

Today, Lisa discusses her need to use a pseudonym for her fiction writing because a celebrity already had her name on bookshelves. Pity. I think Lisa should have gone in with sword drawn to demand her place right beside...wait...Sandy's censoring me.

Fine.

If you'd like to read what other authors have contributed to the pseudonym discussion, the posts are archived at Today the Dragon Wins throughout the month of June. If you participate in the comments, you are automatically entered in a contest to win an electronic version of Sandy's epic fantasy Choices Meant for Gods and Raven Bower's paranormal thriller Apparitions. (Really? Raven? That's fantastic! When did you post Raven's story?) Everyone should read the article on Friday, June 13 (oh, how appropriate!) as well as Lisa's story today.

All my best,
Nigel

She Encourages You to Read this Scary Novel

Fantasy Author Sandy Lender has this propensity for reading when she should be writing. This irritates me, but, there's not much I can do besides lob guilt trips at her. One of the books she's read recently is Apparitions by Raven Bower. Now, if you go to http://www.amazon.com/ and type in "Apparitions," you'll become frustrated. So Sandy says I should tell you to go to http://www.amazon.com/ and type in Raven Bower. Pow. Up comes Raven's book. You can also go to http://www.archebooks.com/ where Raven's book is featured on the front page of the site.

It's a paranormal thriller, and, while I have no idea what that means, Sandy assures me it's "cool" and "fabulous." Now, by visiting the Amazon page, you can see the review Sandy posted about it. But, remember, you have to type in Raven Bower, the suspense/thriller author's name to get what you want.

The whole point: you should buy Apparitions by Raven Bower and read it (during daylight hours, preferably, and when you'll have someone to protect you from your overactive imagination when you turn out the lights that night).

And if you want to pick up a dragon story while you're at it, Sandy Lender's epic fantasy novel Choices Meant for Gods is still available in hard cover…
