I had the honor of being interviewed this month by the lovely Dante Craddock. I appreciate you taking the time and effort it took to get the questions out to me and working with the answers that were given.

The questions made me sit back and think on how to answer to the best of my ability and also how to make me shine. Being interviewed is no small task. It takes a lot of time and effort for the interviewer and the one being interviewed. Dante did a marvelous job

Jasper Amazon Parrot: A Rainforest Adventure, Sharon C. Williams, Tagline

Your book in ten words

Elevator pitch, do you have one for your book? Something that states your project to the best of its ability in two sentences or less to the point you can say it in 20 seconds. You know, how long it takes for someone to get to their floor if they use an elevator. This is something we hear all the time how we need to have one. For the chance to toss it out at a conference, to an agent, to a publisher anyone who is in the position to listen and decide if they want to hear more.

Yet I read an article the other day that stated you should explain your  book in ten words. That’s it, no more or less. Hmm, really? I did cheat and went to my book that is online and read what the publisher wrote for first  book, “Jasper, Amazon Parrot: A Rainforeset Adventure.”

Jasper learns the importance of family and friendship through a rainforest adventure.

Okay this is 12 words but I still think doable.  Would these words inspire someone to want to learn more?  Maybe. I am fortunate that this book is not a long in depth novel which could make it easier to come up with the wording. Onward to my other books as I try to come up with their tagline, their pitch, the words describing them in a way that will astound you. 🙂

Book review: A comment back from the author

Paper_with_pen

As some of you know I review books for a few sites and also on my own. I do an unbiased opinion of what I read. Now and then I get a response from an author on what they think of what I came up with. I received this in the mail and it made me feel pretty good. This is just one of the reasons I do this but it is high on the list: helping other authors out.

Here it is.

I wanted to send you a quick note of thanks for your kind review

Your constructive criticism was well taken.  It appears that I did occasionally “telegraph” a succeeding scene or chapter.  Reviewers like you are teaching me so much about how to sharpen my writing skills.  My 2nd novel should be so much the better for it.  I’m very grateful for that.

So, please accept my thanks for your well-done review.  I wish you good health, peace, and success in all of your endeavors.

 

I’m glad to help other fellow authors. It makes the effort worthwhile.
