Release Day Celebration!
Tomorrow, March 25th, is release day for Murder at The Breakers. I'm bouncing off the walls with excitement, but I'm also very aware and very grateful for how I got here. So...
I'm celebrating my release by celebrating the people who helped make it happen – my amazing, generous, talented Critique Group!
We've been critiquing together for years now, and if not for the support of these very special ladies I probably wouldn't be celebrating the release of Murder at The Breakers this week.
Come by my website (http://alyssamaxwell.com) from 3/25 through 3/29. I'll be giving away a book from each of them, plus two of my own, to seven random winners.
Here's just a sampling of the skills and techniques I've learned from each of them, and I've included their websites so you can find out more:
Cynthia Thomason: from Cindy I've learned how to create a cozy, small town environment filled with unique individuals who create a sense of familiarity and belonging – the kind of characters that feel like family during the course of a series. http://www.cynthiathomason.net/
Kat Carlton: From Kat I've learned about fast pacing, keeping the stakes high, and introducing conflict and suspense into each scene. http://www.katcarltonauthor.com/
Nancy J. Cohen: From Nancy I've learned how to think like a mystery writer. To keep track of motives, clues, and all the rest and proceed logically from crime to resolution while at the same time introducing twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. http://nancyjcohen.com/
Sharon Hartley: from Sharon I've learned how to write tighter and to create a determined, single-minded, smart heroine who will not be deterred from whatever she believes is important. http://www.sharonshartley.com/
Zelda Benjamin: from Zelda I've learned how use story imagery and sensory details to generate relationship chemistry and sensuality while keeping the story sweet. http://www.zeldabenjamin.com/
It's easy to enter our giveaway - just tell me what initially attracts you to the books you buy.
Happy Reading, and don't forget to celebrate the special people in your life!
