News Flash:
I just received a great response from someone I consider a mentor. Barbara D'Amato graciously offered to read and comment on my new work in progress The Smudge. Here's what she said:
Trisha Morgan is a great character, believable, strong, yet
vulnerable, and her buddy Shaniqua is a hoot. The reader is rooting for them
both in this fast-paced story.
By the way if you want to read some great mysteries check her books out.
I am now a part of the Author Island family of authors. Check out their website. Author Island
I'm a finalist for a 2008 Eppie in the mystery category for Moon Over Chicago. How cool is that? This is a tremendous honor.
*** Hey, I didn't win but just being nominated is an honor. I'm very blessed.
I'm now a proud member of Sisters In Crime (SinC). This organization was formed to promote those great female mystery writers and I'm more than happy to join the effort.
I attended a SinC forensic workshop in St. Loius the first weekend in November. It'll help me when I want to be authoritative on crime investigations.
I'm so very honored to have been awarded a Golden Wings Award from my publisher, Wings ePress, Inc. for Shepherd's Pie.
The Golden Wings Award is presented twice
each year, in May and November, to the one book that the Senior Editor
of the department feels best exemplifies wonderful story telling
ability, great characterization and exceptional writing skills.
My department included Romantic Suspense; Romantic Mystery; Gothic; Inspirational; & Encore L’Amour:
I'm so thrilled with the covers for my books. Marvin Mann designed my first two and what great covers they are. Marv is a wonderful graphic artist and has done quite a few book covers for Wings. Visit his website here
Her Name Is Mommy has a cover designed by Pat Casey. It really refelects the sense of the book.
FREE CONFERENCE:
A fantastic FREE online writers conference will be held Oct 6-11, 2008. Here's a link to look at the website. This is a week-long conference and on Wednesday the 9th I'll be presenting a workshop on writing suspense.
