Author Chat with Marji Laine on Writing, Publishing, and Choosing Joy
This author chat has been years in the making. Back in the fall of 2016, I signed with Marji Laine’s publishing house, Write Integrity Press, for my three-book Rogues trilogy. Just last month, she and I worked together to release updated covers in honor of The Revisionary turning four years old this year. Today, I’m honored for you to meet this gifted lady. She is not only a publisher and author advocate, but she is also a multi-published author and creative herself. Please join me in welcoming Marji Laine to the blog today as she shares about her publishing story and invites you to enjoy one of her novellas for…

Win a Year of Free Books
A year of free books? Unlike Aladdin’s story, there’s no genie required for this wish. Although we don’t have magic carpets to take us to exotic places, we do have books, and I’m excited to share about my publisher’s unique giveaway which might just open a whole new world to you. That has been my experience with books. You see, as a child, I devoured most of my local library’s Nancy Drew series and borrowed unashamedly from my Aunt’s personal collection. On an ongoing basis, my mom had my brothers and me participating in the Book It program where we earned personal pan pizzas through Pizza Hut. Those were good…

Starting next week, I’m traveling to Italy with my friend and colleague. Among other mouth-watering destinations, we’ll be exploring some of the settings for the final book in The Rogues trilogy, which include Orvieto and the Port of Civitavecchia.

The Revolutionary: Coming March 2018
If you’ve started a reading list for 2018, I hope you’ll add The Revolutionary! Mark your calendars: The sequel to The Revisionary is scheduled to release March 20 through Write Integrity Press, and today, I’m excited to share the cover with you. Special thanks to my graphic artist Kelli Sorg (Make it Snappy) for another job well done! Portia’s story continues much differently than she had imagined. There’s no hero’s rescue for her or easy solutions to save the Brotherhood’s threadbare rebellion. The Revolutionary demands an honest look at: The source of one’s true identity The struggle of guilt The crippling effects of fear The power of second chances Summary REVOLUTIONS RUN…
