The Big Reveal

Today I have some great news.  Carol Kilgore over at Under The Tiki Hut  has just completed her second novel, Solomon's Compass.  The story is a blend of mystery, suspense and romance which she refers to as Crime Fiction with a kiss-always contains at least one crime and a love story.



Carol has also been kind enough to share a snippet about Solomon's Compass.  It sounds intriguing.  If you like what you read it can be purchased at Amazon.

Taylor is in Rock Harbor, Texas, on a quest to unearth her uncle's treasure_a journey far outside the realm of her real life.  There's one glitch.  Taylor's certain the buried treasure was all in Uncle Randy's dementia-riddled mind.  Now he's dead.

 Former SEAL Jake Solomon is in Rock Harbor under false pretenses to protect Taylor from the fate that befell her uncle and the other members of a tight circle of Coast Guardsmen called the Compass Points who served together on Point boats in Vietnam.

 Jake is definitely not supposed to become involved with Taylor.  That was his first mistake.  Taylor is attracted to Jake as well, but she refuses to wait for him to locate the killer when she knows her plan will force her uncle's murderer into action.

 But the killer's actions are just what Jake is afraid of.

This book seems to have it all. The lure of buried treasure and a sexy former SEAL who drives U.S. Coast Guard Commander Taylor Campbell crazy for him, leaves the reader asking, what more could a woman want?

Carol Kilgore is an award-winning author of several published short stories, essays and articles. She and her Coast Guard husband live in San Antonio, Texas, with two herding dogs that like nothing better than pack time on the patio.

 Until next time, happy writing.

You Never Fail Until You Stop Trying

Back in December, I learned about an unpublished novel contest that assessed the following criteria: characterization, setting, plot, dialogue, voice and writing skill.  In addition to all this, the MS would receive feedback from the judges. Not a bad deal, right?  Although my draft was far from complete, I decided to enter it anyway, reasoning that the critique would identify areas of weakness in my writing.  Well, needless to say, I finally heard back last week.  The first forty pages of my draft were returned with the following letter attached:   The judges had mixed reactions to this particular manuscript, with some feeling it was well-    paced and  another saying there was not enough plot movement! One questioned whether the dialogue fit the time/  year/culture, while others felt it did. They all agreed on liking the expository details and descriptions, but   wondered where the story was going.  Consider beginnin...

Insecure Writer's Support Group- Are you a Negative Nelly???

I t's time for another Insecure Writer's Support Group post.  I am always amazed at how easily I can list the things I'm insecure about, but ask me to add something positive, and I'm at a loss for words.  No matter how much I accomplish, I never stop to enjoy the spoils of my hard work. Instead, I tend to focus on the obstacles I've yet to overcome.  After giving this some thought, I concluded that I am a Negative Nelly. For some reason, which is beyond me, I find that it's often easier to see the bad, than to acknowledge the good.  For example, if my son brings home a B on a test, I say, "Next time, lets try for an A."  Wouldn't it be better to acknowledge his effort, and be happy it wasn't a "C"?  If another writer praises my work-in-progress, I immediately think they didn't read it.  Wouldn't it be better to say thank you and enjoy the compliment?  Life's too short to look down on ourselves. How can we e...

Logline #5...

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and commented on my submission yesterday.  As many of you may know by now, Steena Holmes over at Chocolate Reality  is holding a logline contest.  Young Adult author, Michelle McLean will either critique the winner's query, or the first five to ten pages of their manuscript. This is a great opportunity for one of us to get some professional feedback on our work. If you get a couple of minutes, please stop by Steena's blog and check out some of the other loglines.  I've got some stiff competition. (:  After mulling over last night's comments, I revised my logline to include some of the issues that were addressed.  The fifth submission is the latest version of my logline.  I think it is the best one so far, but hey what do I know? (don't answer that).  Anywho, it would be helpful if I could get your thoughts on the piece. Thanks...
