Monday: We welcomed guest Shannon Vannatter to tell us about Scrivenings Press. From their website: "Scrivenings Press LLC is a traditional, royalty-paying publisher of clean fiction. The company was founded in 2020 when owners Linda Fulkerson and Shannon Vannatter purchased the bulk of the backlist from Mantle Rock Publishing as well as the contracts MRP had signed for upcoming books." The winner of a copy of the Love Inspired Western Collection, Counting on the Cowboy / Her Texas Cowboy is Glynis!
Wednesday: Ruth Logan Herne was in the house instead of the pumpkin patch and she was chatting straight-up truths about publishing and squaring your shoulders, pulling up your big kid britches and getting on with it. Typical Ruthy.... also typical Ruthy, she's giving away two copies of her newest Guideposts mystery "A Fallen Petal", and the winners are Paula Shreckwise and Karen Sargent!
Friday: Beth shared everything y'all ever wanted to know about blog tours and likely a few things you didn't in Behind the Scenes of a Blog Tour: a JustRead Publicity Tours exclusive sneak peek for Seekerville! Winners of two books from the JustRead stash are kaybee and Sandy!
Monday: Jan Drexler will be here with a Back to Basics post that attempts to make the most common piece of advice a littler clearer: Show vs. Tell: Clearing Up the Mystery
Tuesday: Louise Gouge comes in on Tuesday to chat about her newest release "Winning Amber" and how to harness inspiration and mold it into a beautiful story!
Wednesday: Debby Giusti will be talking about writing and the writing journey. Be sure to stop in for a cup of java and a bit of inspiration!
Friday: Ruth Logan Herne shamelessly jumps in to help out on this Friday by promoting the second book of her republished North Country series "Season of Hope"... And will have an e-copy or two to give away! Stop by and learn a little more about how the publishing industry works and how indie publishing and traditional publishing have learned to work hand in hand... at least some of the time!

So you're open FOUR days this week, yay, I think I can drop by for most if not all. So pleased to have won books from Just Read! Couldn't have come at a better time, my Kindle is getting a little skimpy and my library still isn't open. Thanks guys.

I am happy to see I won some books. Thank you. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners!
ReplyDeleteI was out of the house all day yesterday, so today is a writing day for me (yay!) Have a great weekend, everyone!
Wishing everyone a joyous weekend!
ReplyDeleteHope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Here is Texas temps are triple-digit, so it's a good day to stay inside.
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteRuth: I bet I've seen about 50 different covers of your books and, "Season of Hope", is by far the most appetizing! ( "Mended Hearts" is also quite delicious looking as well.)
I took just one look at that cover art and within seconds a complete Advertising/Marketing Campaign Exploded in my mind…and I mean full blown!
Remember the "Scratch and Sniff" advertising gimmicks of decades ago?
Well, I saw three of your titles at once in my mind as your very own Aromatic Trilogy!
"Small-Town Hearts" with a candy-store aroma scratch and sniff.
"Red Kettle Christmas" with a New York bagel store aroma scratch and sniff.
"Season of Hope" (né: "Made to Order Family") with a bakery store scratch and sniff.
It has often been said that, "The Nose Knows" (at least back East it has).
Wow! Don't you think that a "Scratch n' Sniff" book trilogy would capture the attention of romance Magazines? What a clever way to get a reader to pick up the book!
Besides "Made to Order Family" resonates with the heartwarming magic of my favorite Missy book, "A Houseful of Hope". I remembered all the above books because I enjoyed them so much.
Se Si Bon!!!
