Congrats to Dee Topliff! You won the drawing for a copy of Cara Putman’s new book following last week’s guest post. I am sooo happy to welcome fabulous author Tracey Bateman today! I first got hooked on Tracey’s books when I read Catch a Rising Star. And as I mention in the video intro, I’m always so amazed when authors …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Cara Putman
Adventure. What’s it look like to you? Does it mean traveling around the world, or can you find it in your every day life? We’re talking about adventure of all kinds this month during our Wednesday guest posts. And I’m so thrilled that awesome author Cara Putman is helping kick things off with today’s post! So thrilled, in fact, that …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Tyler Parson
First things first: I made a mistake in my intro video for today’s guest. Tyler Parson is the pastor of CrossRidge Church, not CrossPoint. I would totally retape the intro … except I’m in my pajamas … no makeup … and I truly want to spare you all. But Tyler, I’m sorry for the verbal typo. 🙂 Sooo…today’s guest poster …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Katie Ganshert
Yay, I’m so excited to welcome novelist Katie Ganshert! I think I was first introduced to Katie through the blogosphere. The more I read her blog, the more I couldn’t wait to read her debut novel, Wildflowers from Winter. It’s. so. good! So much so that I have a firm need to spread the book love. Which means…it’s contest time! …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Tiffany Colter
Whether you’re an author looking to build your platform, a blogger hoping to expand your viral reach, a speaker, entrepreneur…or heck, a birthday party clown in search of your next big gig…you just can’t get away from the big M. By which I mean marketing. Not Melissa. Because I prefer not to be called “big.” We’ve been talking about marketing …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Wynn-Wynn Media
So, who else besides me used to imagine being an author like this: dream up story, write story, magically publish story…move on to next story? In the past few years, I’ve seen the light. The marketing and platform-building light, that is. It’s a huge piece of an author’s career. That’s why I’m grateful to people like Tyson and Jeane Wynn …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Evangeline Denmark
You know what’s so not easy? Answer: writing kissing scenes. For real, people. If you’re a writer, you know this. But you know what’s even more difficult? Listening to said scene being read aloud…in a group setting…with your mom present. Okay, I’ve not been through this, but today’s guest poster—the lovely and hilarious Evangeline Denmark—has! Evangeline is the co-author of …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Lisa Jordan
So, I used to get a little bummed out by Wednesdays…you know, that whole mid-week slump thing. But now, I love ’em…thanks to wonderful guest posters here at Tag(g)lines! Guests like the lovely Lisa Jordan. Lisa is such a skilled writer! I first got to know Lisa through My Book Therapy and now consider her a wonderful friend. I remember at …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Jessica Patch
Confession: I sort of went into this blogging thing kicking and screaming. (Literally? Figuratively? Guess!) It was hard to commit to blogging when I wanted to spend time with my good friend Mr. Novel. But I knew I needed to do it. What I didn’t know was that in addition to helping me hone my voice and who I am …
I believe the first romantic line about kissing came from a young woman who didn’t feel good enough to belong to the man who loved her completely. She says, “I am dark, but lovely.” My favorite line from her is: “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for your love is sweeter than wine.” That’s a sigh …
