The fabulous Glory Girls once thrilled audiences with their perfect three-part harmony. When tragedy took it all away, little Bethany Glory promised to take care of her sisters forever. Thirty years later, it's a promise she's finding hard to keepLinda Bleserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01112723948467556632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31470172.post-84372129190381010362008-01-28T22:11:00.001-05:002008-01-28T22:22:40.790-05:00RAGE wins Dream Real Award!
I'm thrilled to announce that RAGE, available from Cerridwen Press, won the Dream Realm Award for 2007 in the horror category.
This is one of my favorite books since it deals with a subject that fascinates me - writers tapping into the collective unconscious. In the hands of best-selling horror author Algernon Pierce, however, it all goes horribly wrong.

The 9-hour drive from Virginia Beach back to New York was made more bearable by the fact that I could fondle and admire my trophy all the way home.
The conference was great...when I could tear myself away from the gorgeous beach long enough to concentrate on Linda Bleserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01112723948467556632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31470172.post-1166302496757706302006-12-16T15:49:00.000-05:002006-12-16T15:54:56.783-05:00EPPIE NominationI'm delighted to announce that EAST OF EASY has been nominated for a 2007 EPPIE award in the Contemporary Romance category.

Best-selling romance novelist Lace Kincaid is the darling of the romance industry. There's only one problem - Lace Kincaid doesn't really exist. Ashley and her identical twin sister Alexis are the writing team behind the pseudonym. Ashley, the quiet and demure twin, writes the best-selling Linda Bleserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01112723948467556632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31470172.post-1156427734735915942006-08-24T09:44:00.000-04:002006-08-24T09:58:13.273-04:00Inspiring the Muse I just returned from an annual writers retreat in Vermont feeling relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated. We brainstormed story ideas, set goals, laughed a lot, cried a little, and ate way too much.
There's nothing like being with women you consider sisters and friends to nourish the soul and inspire the muse. When those friends are all writers as well, it's a special gift.Linda Bleserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01112723948467556632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31470172.post-1156283065630014362006-08-22T17:30:00.000-04:002006-08-22T19:20:54.703-04:00Recommended BooksI have two new books to recommend this week.
The first is THE TAO OF WRITING, Ralph L. Wahlstrom - Imagine. Create. Flow. This is a great book for musing about your muse. This book will help you get in touch with your creativity and remind you why you started writing in the first place.
The second is EATING IN THE LIGHT OF THE MOON, Anita Johnston, Ph.D. - How women can transform their Linda Bleserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01112723948467556632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31470172.post-1154879035314031332006-08-06T11:04:00.000-04:002006-08-06T11:43:55.350-04:00Right Brain / Left BrainI hate editing because it puts both sides of my brain in conflict and that's a battle neither side is capable of winning.
Rosie Rightbrain is a playful sprite. She flits from word to word sprinkling fairy dust all over the page with no regard to logic or reason.
Lance Leftbrain is a literary hit man. Nothing is safe from his killing tools. Imagination is simply a word to him - unless it’s Linda Bleserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01112723948467556632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31470172.post-1154614298303228462006-08-03T10:03:00.000-04:002006-08-03T10:11:38.323-04:00If you build it...My dear friend and online publicist, Carla Arpin, has set up a readers/fans chat loop for me. All I need now are readers and/or fans. Is it presumptuous of me to drop a note to people asking them to be a reader and/or fan? I know there are at least four people out there who've read my books, not counting my mother and best friends. We've built it, now lets see who comes:

I guess that's the question today. Do I really need one more thing to clutter up my "to do" list when I really should be writing? Or will blogging open up a channel to tame that fickle muse? Either way, writing is what I do. Whether I do it here or on the manuscript page, I'm inviting the muse to come and visit - to laugh and sing and play, to find the magic and mystery Linda Bleserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01112723948467556632noreply@blogger.com
