However, there are more books than M&Ms promising to show us the way. So which one do you pick? Well, I’ve got a good one you should consider reading.
I admit I picked up this book with a lot of trepidation. But I wasn’t disappointed and I don’t think you will be either.
The Bestseller Code: Anatomy of the Blockbuster Novel by
In the Bestseller Code, Ms. Archer covers,
- “Write what you know.” and it doesn’t mean if you were a plumber, to write about plumbing. But to put your experiences with love, anger, joy, loss, etc. into your stories.

Helpful Advice For Writing Blog Content That Matters – by Lisa Brown…

Is Levitation Possible? #CuspofNight
Illustration of Daniel Douglas Home performing levitation By Unnamed artist [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Happy Monday, everyone! Today, the lovely Gwen Plano is hosting me on my second to final tour stop for Cusp of Night. I hope you’ll pop over to check out my post about levitation on Gwen’s blog.
If you’re not already following Gwen, please take a look around while you’re there. I first “met” Gwen through a book club I had belonged to in the past. It’s there that I discovered her moving memoir, Letting Go Into Perfect Love. She also has a new release which she co-authored with another mutual friend, John W. Howell. The Contract is high octane fiction with plenty of action and a bit of the paranormal and romance tossed in.
I look forward to seeing you at Gwen’s blog, where there’s a bit of magical “soaring” taking place…

Sally works as a Senior Ambassador for Tropic #Vegan #CrueltyFree #Natural #Skincare
Hi Sally, it’s a great pleasure to welcome you to my blog today.
Sally and I are ‘old,’ Edinburgh school friends! Hey, not so old! We’re in the prime of our lives… I swear that we ladies come into our prime at this age… Our kids are grown up, we start spreading our wings and being more adventurous!
It’s quite remarkable how we have reconnected via Facebook after so many years apart.
I thought it would be interesting to interview Sally about her role as a Senior Ambassador for Tropic.
Tell me a little about your role at Tropic, Sally.
I am a Senior Ambassador (we start as Ambassador and the next stage is Senior, so I am very much at the start of the Tropic journey!)
When did you decide to join?
I joined in February of 2017.
Do you see it as a hobby or a full-time vocation?
At…

The Death of Mrs Westaway by Ruth Ware #BookReview
About this book…
When Harriet Westaway receives an unexpected letter telling her she’s inherited a substantial bequest from her Cornish grandmother, it seems like the answer to her prayers. She owes money to a loan shark and the threats are getting increasingly aggressive: she needs to get her hands on some cash fast.
There’s just one problem – Hal’s real grandparents died more than twenty years ago. The letter has been sent to the wrong person. But Hal knows that the cold-reading techniques she’s honed as a seaside fortune teller could help her con her way to getting the money. If anyone has the skills to turn up at a stranger’s funeral and claim a bequest they’re not entitled to, it’s her.
Hal makes a choice that will change her life for ever. But once she embarks on her deception, there is no going back. She must keep going or…
