In the hands of best-selling horror author Algernon Pierce, however, it all goes horribly wrong.What would you do if you found your life http://fickle-muse.blogspot.com/2008/01/rage-wins-dream-real-award.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Linda Bleser)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31470172.post-8230853586054115533Fri, 16 Mar 2007 16:23:00 +00002007-03-16T14:58:04.796-04:00I'm thrilled to announce that EAST OF EASY won the EPPIE in the Contemporary Romance category at the EPIC conference in Virginia Beach. 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 http://fickle-muse.blogspot.com/2007/03/east-of-easy-wins-eppie-award.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Linda Bleser)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31470172.post-116630249675770630Sat, 16 Dec 2006 20:49:00 +00002006-12-16T15:54:56.783-05:00I'm delighted to announce that EAST OF EASY has been nominated for a 2007 EPPIE award in the Contemporary Romance category.Winners will be announced at the EPIC conference in Virginia Beach, March 2007.http://fickle-muse.blogspot.com/2006/12/eppie-nomination.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Linda Bleser)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31470172.post-115713135526262575Fri, 01 Sep 2006 17:13:00 +00002006-09-10T18:57:42.620-04:00 HEAVEN AND LACE(previously published as A Little Piece of Heaven)Available now from Cerridwen PressBest-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 books, http://fickle-muse.blogspot.com/2006/09/new-release-heaven-and-lace.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Linda Bleser)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31470172.post-115642773473591594Thu, 24 Aug 2006 13:44:00 +00002006-08-24T09:58:13.273-04:00 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.http://fickle-muse.blogspot.com/2006/08/inspiring-muse.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Linda Bleser)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31470172.post-115628306563001436Tue, 22 Aug 2006 21:30:00 +00002006-08-22T19:20:54.703-04:00I 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 http://fickle-muse.blogspot.com/2006/08/recommended-books.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Linda Bleser)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31470172.post-115487903531403133Sun, 06 Aug 2006 15:04:00 +00002006-08-06T11:43:55.350-04:00I 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 spelled http://fickle-muse.blogspot.com/2006/08/right-brain-left-brain.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Linda Bleser)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31470172.post-115461429830322846Thu, 03 Aug 2006 14:03:00 +00002006-08-03T10:11:38.323-04:00My 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:http://groups.yahoo.com/http://fickle-muse.blogspot.com/2006/08/if-you-build-it.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Linda Bleser)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31470172.post-115351531368994131Fri, 21 Jul 2006 20:24:00 +00002006-07-21T16:55:13.696-04:00To blog or not to blog? 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 http://fickle-muse.blogspot.com/2006/07/why-blog.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Linda Bleser)1
