Seven. That is how many houses we have lived in since I started my writing career. Some moves we knew would be temporary because we have a habit of flipping houses. Some moves were far because my husband was starting an office up for his business on the other side of the country. One thing […]

There’s one thing all authors and artists have in common — we need a PLACE to create. And the wonderful part of that is that creative spaces are as different and unique as both the authors themselves and their books. How do authors’ workspaces influence and inspire their creativity? Do they like to write in […]

Where I write? More like where do I not write! I am always trying to find time in between the chaos of life to get those words in. My writing schedule is mostly at the mercy of two tiny mischievous little girls, so I write where and when I can. Sometimes, I’m on the floor […]

I’m an author but I also have a full-time job so you’ll catch me writing anywhere I can; whether it’s in between morning meetings at work or late nights at with my trusty sidekick (my 4-year-old Siberian Husky). ​ I like to keep my home a frigid 62 degrees so if I’m writing at home, […]

I find the place you write is incredibly important. I have tried over the last nine years to write in various settings, but I think having one place to focus my energy in, to really get the creativity flowing, is what works best for me. ​ I’m lucky enough to have been able to convert […]

The ease of changing digital vision boards is a frequently cited reason authors prefer them over physical boards. In addition to using Pinterest as a way to connect with readers and expand their fictional worlds, authors are inspired by the images they pin to the boards. Romance author Mignon Mykel finds inspiration for her book-specific […]

Hello, world, I’m Kira Seamon and I am a debut author. My book is entitled Dead Cereus and it was inspired by my daily visits to the Wellesley College greenhouses.
