Writing Tips & Tricks & Other Advice
The most common questions I get from people are writing and publishing. I usually try to keep it simple, because there's so much you can say on the subject, and not everything applies to everybody.
But since I've become obsessed (addicted) to Pinterest, I thought it might be fun to make a board with some of best pieces of advice I've found on every aspect of writing - from outlines and inspiration, to overcoming writer's block, to whether to self-publish or not.
So if you're an aspiring writer looking for advice, you should check it out. I really did compile the best advice I know - advice that has helped me, so it might help you too.
But remember - there is no one way to write a novel or to be successful. There are hundreds and hundreds, and you need to discover the path that works best for you.

Dream Casting
As you probably know, I've gotten really into Pinterest, and you can follow me at www.pinterest.com/aehocking if you'd like. With the countdown for Ice Kissed continuing (only 33 more days until it's released into the wild!), I thought it would be fun to create a dream cast for Ice Kissed.
It's not exactly perfect - Emily Browning's eyes are much lighter than how I'd pictured Ember's, for example - but they're all pretty close to how I envisioned the characters.
The great thing about books, though, is that everyone can picture characters differently, and I would love to see how you guys envision the cast. If you'd like to add your own ideas for the cast of the Kanin Chronicles, follow my Pinterest board, and I'll add you to it, so you can pin your dream cast. Or you can just check out the board to see what other people think.

Ice Kissed Pinterest Inspiration Board
I created an inspiration on Pinterest for Ice Kissed. Not only does it include images that inspired the book, it also has never-before-shared quotes and excerpts from
Ice Kissed
. It even hints a bit at what is it come in the finale of the Kanin Chronicles,
Crystal Kingdom
. If you're counting down the days until
Ice Kissed
comes out (12 days!), then this might be the perfect thing to whet your appetite.

I love using Pinterest for inspiration boards like this. It's an excellent way to organize ideas and immerse myself in the atmosphere I want a novel to have. I'm using it for the books I'm working on now, and not only is it useful, it's so much fun.
If you haven’t preorderd Ice Kissed yet and you’d like to, here are some ways you can do it:
