ACK! I'vebeen tagged
Mood:  suave

So, my (so-called) friend nominated me for the Creative Writer Blogger Award, which is ironic as I have worked hard for the title of "Laziest Blogger in the World." She even wants me to put a logo in here when she knows I'm borderline computer-illiterate. Oh, there it is. What do you know, I actually did it!

I have to do this because my (so-called) fiend friend has masochistic tendencies is so very dear to me, I can do nothing else but acceed to her demands wishes.

Apparently, this (so-called) award from my (so-called) friend - which is actually a heinous plot to make me blog twice in the same month - has rules.

1.  Thank the person who gave this to you.

Are you serious? You are? But of course I give thanks for this dubious wonderful honor!

2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.

Done, and it didn't hurt too much.

3.  Link to the person who nominated you.

Will do.

4. Tell up to six outrageous lies about yourself, and at least one outrageous truth.

1) I love snow and below-zero temperatures. Nothing like jumping naked into a snowdrift.

2) Me and Brad Pitt -  we go way back.

3) I see dead people.

4) That tall, slim, pale-haired woman on my Facebook and Twitter avatar? Yep, that's me.

5) I climb a mountain every day for exercise.

6) I auditioned for American Idol. It brought the house down.

7) I live in a very prestigious neighborhood. Sorry I can't tell you where; the neighbors would object to the swarm of fans who would descend on my house.

5.  Nominate seven three one “Creative Writer” who might have fun coming up with outrageous lies.

Coming . . . hee hee.

6. Post links to the seven three   one blog you nominate.

Coming . . . hee hee.

7.  Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know you nominated them.

Of course!

I would like to quote a certain saying. You may use "what goes around comes around," or if you're feeling biblical "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." But in my part of the world it's:

BACK AT YA!

I hereby nominate LK Gardner-Griffie for the prestigious Creative Writer Blogger Award.

She deserves everything coming to her it!

From the world's laziest blogger - answers for Whisperings fans

Readers have asked a few questions since the release of The Demon Hunters. I can't promise to answer them here, but I will at least tell you where the answers can be found.

 From Anna:  Will we see the Dark Cousins again?

A Dark Cousin will have a major role in Demon Demon Burning Bright, book four of Whisperings.

From Anna: . . . and will you ever come right out and say what they (Dark Cousins) are?

Book four.

From Anna:  How are the Gelpha and Dark Cousins related?

Book four.

From Rob:  Why can Tiff see dead people?

Book four.

From Darren:  Any more info on Tiff's past?

A modicum in Demon on a Distant Shore, which provides a clue to why Tiff has a problem trusting other people. A major revelation in book four.

From Maria: Why nothing about Royal's past?

You'll learn a little more in book three, but only an iota. You (might) discover what motivates Royal, and see some issues from his point of view, in book four.

From Maria: Are Gelpha elves?

No way! They are children of two ancient races, and I'll say no more than that. All will be revealed in book four.

From John:

How old is Tiff?

How old do you think she is?

From John B:  Of all the places in the world, why did you choose Russia for Tiff to visit?

Apart from those which are figments of my imagination, I write about locations I know. I've been to every place mentioned so far, apart from Russia. I wanted an exotic overseas location, and I have a pen-friend of 10 years who lives in Kazan, Russia, so know quite a bit about the city.

From Teresa:  I read a lot of urban fantasy and they have plenty of sex in them. Although I enjoy your books, I would like to see more sex scenes with Royal and Tiff, something more than foreplay and inuendo.

Um, well, that's just not Tiff's style, and she is the narrator. Sharing something that intimate would embarrass her. I've always believed that sensuality can have as much impact as blatant sex.

From Graham: What can you tell us about Demon on a Distant Shore?

The plot is a little more intense than the previous two books and there is more emphasis on the case Tiff and Royal are working on. You get to meet some British shades, one of which has an ability unlike any Tiff has known. I had fun playing with Tiff's confusion upon being in a country she presumed would be a miniature USA, only to find it is nothing like!

If anyone has more questions, I'd be happy to see them added here, but please keep them pertinent to the plot(s) of the book(s.)

Happy reading!

ME AND LK
Mood:  celebratory

We're warned about online relationships which can lead to disappointment, or as a worse-case-scenario, to dangerous situations. But if we're fortunate we find someone who fills a space in our lives which otherwise would remain empty. I've never met LK Gardner-Griffie face-to-face, we spoke only once on the phone, yet I couldn't wish for a better friend.

LK and I joke around, a lot. One of the things we joke about is that we've become a mutual admiration society of two. We promote each other and our books whenever we can - although as LK has more outlets than I, she does most of the promotion. We do that because each sincerely enjoys the other's work and wants to share that enjoyment with anyone who'll listen. We believe in each other.

We also joke about our screams bouncing and echoing around my mountain valley. We scream exasperation, joy, support, achievement and a whole lot more. We chide, we cajole, we encourage, because each wants the other to be the best she can be. One of these days we'll meet in the flesh and I have no doubt we'll be screaming with ebullience.

I "met" LK when she decided to review Along Came a Demon for the LL Book Review. She gave me a lovely review. When a fellow author takes the time to read and review my books, the least I can do is read their own, although I don't guarantee I'll review it. So I took a look at Misfit McCabe, the first book of LK Gardner-Griffie's young adult series. I don't as a rule read young adult fiction so didn't know what to expect. That was one of the easiest reviews I have ever written, because I loved the book from start to finish.

Our correspondence began, and shortly LK's humor came through, and let me tell you she has a wicked sense of humor. We're alike in that we're impatient, not only with people and situations but with ourselves. We're something of perfectionists. We love dogs. She's tech-savvy, I'm computer illiterate. In addition to being my friend, she's my ally, mentor and writing partner. LK is the best writing partner because she's absolutely honest with me and her criticism is 100% constructive.

As I said above, both LK and I like to share what we enjoy, so this is what I'm doing here, sharing - with you - my enjoyment of this lovely lady. Please take a moment to meet LK Gardner-Griffie. I recommed her, as an intelligent, entertaining author and the friend any person would be fortunate to have.

The Magic of Twitter
Mood:  caffeinated

I'm not the greatest networker. I'm a hopeless blogger. But I do try. I've been a member of Twitter for some time and my Tweets mainly consist of reTweeting other Tweeters Tweets (now there's a tongue-twister for you.) But Twitter actually worked for me in what I consider to be a BIG way. Here's what happened:

I was following Jacqueline Lichtenberg, a highly-respected, award-winning novelist. Ms. Lichtenberg is the founder of Star Trek Welcommittee, co-founder of Sime-Gen Inc., and creator of Sime-Gen Universe. She has written 19 novels, 13 short stories, two nonficton books, and reviews monthly for the Monthly Aspectarian. Imagine my surprise when she asked me, an unknown Indie author, about my books. I gave her the link to Along Came a Demon on Amazon.com. She replied that although it looked "darker" than her preferred reading, the reviews seemed upbeat and she'd like to take a look at it, although she couldn't guarantee she would review the book. I sent her the book, not expecting to hear from her again because she was correct in saying Along Came a Demon is not the type of book she favors.

Surprise - again - when I received a Tweet from her saying she loved the book. Her exact words were, "Ur bk Along Came a Demon is well written, well structured, rivetting entertainment. Will review in my column." Okay, Linda, come down from the clouds - because that's where I was. She followed that with a short review on Amazon.

A week later, I was well and truly back down to earth, when I received another invitation. Would I like to send a guest entry to the by-invitation group blog, Alien Romances? Wow! Of course I would like. That was Sunday and I got the entry off to her Sunday night. Again, I was thrilled, but not as thrilled as when I read her introduction to the blog entry.

 I will say no more, but ask you to take a look for yourself. The title of the entry is "Is that really you?"

 http://aliendjinnromances.blogspot.com/

If you would like to know more about Jacqueline Lichtenberg, and I encourage you to do so:

 http://www.simegen.com/jl/

So I had better keep up with this networking thing. Who know where it could lead to!

I am happy to announce that a second editon of Along Came a Demon will soon be on Amazon.com. Same book, different publisher, hence cheaper price. You will be able to get Along Came a Demon for just $6.55! (as opposed to $13.60 which is the asking price via Lulu Publishing.) Next up - volume two, The Demon Hunters, will also soon be on Amazon. Boy, am I excited!

If you'd like a peek at The Demon Hunters, read on for an excerpt. Note: Please forgive the formatting. My blog doesn't seem to like indents, and also has problems with spaces between paragraphs.

 

I haven’t always seen dead people. Until eleven years ago, I’d have looked sideways at anyone who told me they did. And of course, I was in a real public place, a popular little sidewalk café crowded with people on a Saturday afternoon, when it happened. I’d just finished my iced chai, and as I fished in my pocket for change, noticed a woman standing near the door of the café. That left her right out in the heat of the sun and at that time of the afternoon it burned, but she wore a gray plastic raincoat with the hood over her hair, and black rubber boots peeked from beneath her long black skirt. Another loony, but I envied her for her pale skin and the fact she didn’t sweat. I sat under a big umbrella and I know my face shone pink from the heat.

I laid two dollars and some change on the table, got to my feet and walked past her, and noticed her tears. They streamed down her face, and she held her hands clenched tightly at chest level, obviously in some distress.

 

I went on past, but I turned my head and caught her eyes, and she stared right at me.

 

I couldn’t help myself. I stopped and half turned to her. “Are you okay?”

She looked fixedly back at me and shook her head. I guessed she was saying “no.”

    

That’s when I saw the big red patch on her chest just above her clenched hands, where the raincoat fell open.

    

She’d been shot, or stabbed.

    

“Oh my God!” I turned and found every person outside the café looking at me.

 

“Someone call 911!” I yelled.

 

I turned back to the woman. “Don’t worry, help is on its way.” I stepped nearer to her. “Let’s get you out of the sun.”

 

It registered that I didn’t hear any movement behind me. I looked back over my shoulder. They were still watching me, and as I looked from face to face, each dropped their eyes or turned their head the other way, or became interested in their lunch.

 

I could not believe what I saw. “Did someone call emergency services?” I asked.

Not one person looked my way. I couldn’t understand it. I know a lot of people in big cities tend to mind their business, which is why the police often have a hard time finding witnesses to a crime, but this lady stood right in front of them and they were ignoring her. They were ignoring me.

 

"What is wrong with you people?" I yelled.

 

I had never been angrier in my life. I took a couple of steps to the door of the café and stuck my head inside. “Hey! Someone call an ambulance. You got a wounded woman out here!”

 

Several customers looked up, startled, and two waiters went for the phone on the host’s desk. I wasn’t in there more than five seconds, but when I backed out, people at two of the sidewalk tables were walking away and those at another were getting to their feet. I glared at a couple stupid enough to meet my eyes, and one tall guy got to his feet so fast his knees hit the table and shunted it a foot, making the umbrella tilt. 

 

I was going to raise hell when this got over, but the woman needed my help, since nobody else seemed inclined.

When I stood in front of the poor woman again she started moving her hands and fingers in an odd way. She was signing, which meant she was mute. I didn’t know handsign.

 

I put my hands to her shoulders and spoke gently. “I think you should sit down.”

 

 My left hand went through her shoulder and hit the wall behind her, the brick grazing my knuckles. 

 

My brain stopped working properly. My hand, wrist and part of my forearm were inside her body. I had just stuck my arm through someone. There should be blood. She should be screaming. I should be screaming. She must be in shock and I wasn’t far behind her. A heard a siren. The paramedics were a block away. I couldn’t pull my arm free because then her blood would come gushing out, wouldn’t it? My arm plugged the gigantic hole I’d made in her body.

Inches from her white face, I saw the tears on it were static, like strings of clear wax pasted to her skin.

Although my knuckles burned where they hit the wall, I didn’t feel anything other than hot Californian air. I felt nothing of substance, nothing at all. My right hand shook as I put my palm to her cheek and it started to sink into her flesh.

I guess I couldn’t process anymore because I blacked out. I came to in the ambulance, thinking, I fainted? Wow! So that’s what it feels like. Laying still, my eyes closed, I thought about the reason I passed out. I didn’t imagine the insubstantial weeping woman, I knew that. The café staff called emergency services for a wounded woman and instead carted off a loony, the same loony who yelled at their customers and talked to thin air. This loony had better keep her mouth shut if she wanted out of the emergency room.

 

I didn’t argue when the doctor diagnosed sun stroke.

I returned to the cafe a week later. She still stood there, to the right of the entrance, hands clenched at her chest, tears streaking her sad face.

 

He faced her ten feet away, and she cried because she was going to die and couldn’t call out for help. She didn’t know him, just a guy who popped up in front of her as she sheltered from a fierce downpour. He didn’t look like he hated her, or killing her would bring him satisfaction. He just stared, and stared, and for an instant she thought he was only trying to scare her. Then he pulled the trigger.

That just came into my mind, the way it does now when I see a shade for the first time. But that first experience knocked me to my knees.

 

I found articles about the murder in the library. Nineteen-year-old May Wentworth worked as an assistant teacher at a private school for the deaf and blind and lived with her grandmother. They never found her killer. I learned to sign. I “talked” to her, but I couldn’t help her. 

 

I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve wished meeting May Wentworth was an isolated incident, but after that it seemed I couldn’t turn a corner without seeing dead people. I packed up and came back to Utah.

 

It’s universal, I suppose: when you’re in trouble you go running home, and Clarion was my home. My foster homes, the foster-parents and the other kids meant nothing to me, but the city itself. I knew Clarion, I knew the people there and their mentality. I felt safe in Clarion and I wouldn’t see many violently slain people in my little old hometown.

 

Except the two in my house and a couple more down the street.

 

She still stands outside the Sun and Bun Café. I spend a little time with May Wentworth whenever I go to San Francisco, but I see her in the early hours of the morning when few people are about, and I always carry my gun.

OPERATION EBOOK DROP UPDTAE

I received this email from author Edward Patterson.

"The 70 authors on Operation Ebook Drop asked me to say:

More Troops please.

We have dropped approximately 4000 Free discount coupons linking our brave men and women deployed in the Armed Forces to some of the finest Indie novels in the industry to keep their reading devices filled with a variety of genres and styles. If you are a troop who has received an ebook drop, sound off here, so your comrades can step up and request our gifts.

If you want to participate and are a deployed member of the coalition Armed Forces, just drop me (edwpat at att.net) an email with your name, unit and location (and a little feedback - our authors enjoy some feedback), and I'll set you up on the program.

If you're an author and want to join the ranks of the givers, publish your book(s) on Smashwords and set up a 100% discount coupon and then drop me a line at edwpat at att.net and I'll forward you the troop list and set you up for all new incoming troop book requests.

This program is only a month old and happened by chance here in the Kindle community. Indie authors care and we want to make a difference by thanking our troops for their efforts.

Edward C. Patterson former Sp5 E. Patterson, USAR 6th Batallion, 60 th Artillery (1966-68)"

Follow Operation Ebook updates on:

http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php?topic=13352.new;topicseen#new

4,000 copies seems a lot for a month-old program. But we could do so much better. If you know a deployed service member, or the family of one, let them know about Operation Ebook Drop. FREE books are available in a number of electronic formats from Smashwords. If the service member does not have a reading device, such as Amazon’s Kindle, or Sony, they can download the book to their PC as a Word document, or a PDF. If they don’t have access to the internet, their family can download the books, put them on a USB device and send that to them. This may be one of the simplest ways in which we support our troops - it’s so easy! Just contact Ed Patterson at edwpat@att.net.

OPERATION EBOOK DROP

It began when author Edward Patterson met a US soldier stationed in Iraq who was unable to download ebooks to his Kindle. Ed offered to email the soldier his books (all 13 of them) at no cost. The soldier accepted with gratitude. This started Ed thinking and he asked other authors on the Kindleboard forums if they too would like to offer free books to our troops overseas.

 

The idea snowballed. With Ed at the helm, ebooks started on their way to our troops. Authors used Smashwords to distribute the books, creating 100%-off coupons which let the troops download the books free.

 

When Mark Coker, founder of Smashwords, found out about it, he and Bill Kendrick brainstormed on how they could help with the campaign. They began Operation Ebook drop, which allowed troops to download not only to Kindle, but to multiple ebook formats.

 

I think we have about 46 authors involved now and I’m excited to number among them. This morning I received a thank-you email from one of the troops to whom I sent the free coupon and a link to Along Came a Demon on Smashwords. It made my day!

 

If you have family in the armed forces anywhere overseas and they’d like to receive free ebooks, check out the Smashwords blog for instructions. If you’re an author who would like to participate, do likewise. Here is the link:

 

http://blog.smashwords.com.

 

And check out Ed’s books on Smashwords!

Lulu Reviews

I’m back after a not-too drastic gap in communication!

 

Because this blog appears on my Amazon.com author page, I’m going to take advantage of that to share some Lulu reviews for Along Came a Demon which do not appear on Amazon.com, because they were written by persons who live overseas, or otherwise do not want to purchase from Amazon.com just so they can put up a review.

 

These reviews can be found by going to my Lulu Storefront at http://stores.lulu.com/lindawelch.

 

 Bring on the rest of the series! 13 Dec 2008
by Drew Dale Daniel Bryenton.

When Tiff Banks is asked to help the police with their investigations, it's never good news for the victim... because it means that they're already dead!
She's not a forensic psychologist or a crime-scene investigator - her talents are much more unique and bizarre. Unlike the many charlatans and pretenders on TV Tiff really CAN talk to the dead - the violently deceased whisper to her, and that can make it difficult to lead a normal life!
Enter a sinister world just beyond the everyday streets and homes of quiet little Clarion - a world inhabited by the souls of the slain, awaiting justice for their murders. And other, darker beings not of the mortal Earth... things that Tiff calls Demons, but who have their own Machiavellian hierarchies and intrigues.
And when the ghost of a drowned woman breaks all the rules of the afterlife and leaves the place of her death, be prepared for two worlds to collide. Suddenly speaking to the dead is the least of Tiff Banks' problems, and the Demons are closing in....
This is a great read - punchy, engaging and flowing prose which outlines a novel approach to the psi-thriller genre. Plenty of twists and turns, humor and tension, action and intrigue... and the best part is, this is just the first of a planned series!
Go on, get this into your hard drive, your book shelf, and your head!  

 

A great and capturing story! 15 Feb 2009
by  Valerie Long

The protagonist and storyteller, Tiff, is not just a tough and fearless, but an extraordinary woman: she can see and hear the violently slain. This would be enough substance for more than one book, but it’s just the beginning. As strong women go, she has some trouble with her love life, and she seems to tend to collect unusual friendships.

The story starts as an easy read with some funny and surprising ideas, but quickly takes up speed and tension becoming an edge-of-the-seat thriller that refuses to be put aside unfinished.

The most scary thought about this book is that it might be partially autobiographic.

I can’t wait for the next sequel (or prequel!) - luckily one is already available!

 

 A fantasy story set in the real world 21 Jun 2009
by Carol Townsend.

I love a good ghost story and this is far more than that. It is an easy read that is impossible to put down from the very first sentence: "'There's a naked woman in the garden,' said Jack."

Tiff Banks may have special powers but those powers do not make her Superwoman, nor do they enable her to have an easy life - quite the contrary.

She has unusual housemates and a tricky love-life, and though she can speak to the dead and to non –humans she is all too human herself, and the reader sees the world through her eyes and empathises with her from the outset.

I devoured this book in three evenings and am hungry for more!   

 

What you should know 30 Aug 2009 by Dana Donovan.  

 

Right from the get-go, “Along Came a Demon” by Linda Welch, grabbed me. “There’s a naked woman in the garden.” Okay, you have my attention. What follows is a fast-paced drama, built on suspense, wrapped in mystery and sealed in the uncertainties of the paranormal. In her character, Tiff (don’t call me Tiffany)Banks, Welch convincingly conveys the reluctance of an ordinary woman, driven to exploit her uncanny ability to talk to dead people just to pay the bills, and in the process, maybe help solve a crime or two. Tiff is a casual narrator, leaving the cold, impersonal prose for the hard-boiled detective genre. Instead, her personable approach of articulating her case makes it easy to relate with her, giving the reader a sense of familiarity in her cause, and fostering an emotional attachment with the other characters in the story that carries all the way to the end.
It is my humble opinion that few in the self-published world of novels and novellas are truly ready for prime-time mainstream publishing, though most think they are. With just a nudge or two from a professional editor, I think Linda Welch and her Whisperings series definitely is.

A Message From the Laziest Blogger in Existence.
Mood:  cool

I’ve read that Blogging is the most successful marking tool for an author.  I believe it, and I know I’m a totally inadequate blogger. I hope I can be forgiven?

 

I have submitted The Demon Hunters to CreateSpace and should receive the proof copy in a few days. I decided to go with CS over Lulu for a number of reasons. After tracking my sales, or lack of sales, on the many national and international internet book sites on which Lulu placed Along Came a Demon, I see that I only made sales on Amazon.com. I can (hopefully) get those results by publishing through CS, plus CS gets a book onto Amazon.com a lot faster than by using Lulu, the Look Inside feature comes up sooner, the cost of the book for purchasers is cheaper, and I can purchase copies vastly cheaper from CS than I can from Lulu, with a lower shipping cost. I will still publish on Lulu; the same book but probably in a different size and lacking the ISBN. Why? Because I value the feedback I receive from other Lulu authors.

 

I also put Along Came a Demon up as an e-book on Amazon Kindle. That was quite an adventure in formatting, especially as I don’t own a Kindle. Now I know what I’m doing, formatting The Demon Hunters for Kindle will be a breeze. I hope.

 

The LL Book Review recently reviewed The Demon Hunters. Thanks LLBR and LK Gardner-Griffie! My review for Nicole Tanner’s The Red Fog went live on LLBR this past Monday. My review for Tightening the Knot by Amanda Hamm is upcoming. I will be the featured author on the Meet the Author discussion, on Lulu’s General Discussion forum, on Tuesday September 1st.

 

Now, I must get back to Demon on a Distant Shore. I am about half way through and there are many additions and alterations in the works. One of my readers made a suggestion for the Jack character. I can’t imagine why I didn’t come up with the idea myself. When I look at Jack, I know that idea must have been lurking in the back of my mind. Obviously, the reader clearly saw what I had been missing. So, thank you, Ryan. Your suggestion is PERFECT! I am going to have SO much fun with this!

 

On the home-front, the days are winding down. The sun disappears behind the westward mountain peaks at 7 PM, and after that, temperatures drop fairly drastically. Late August is a strange time of year temperature-wise, with highs in the near 90s and lows in the 40s. I see that some of the trees are already changing color and many of my plants are starting to wilt. Soon be time to get out into the garden and tidy it up for winter. Winter is, for me, the best time to write, with nothing much happening to take me away from it.

 

The child abuse prevention agency for which I work is in the process of purchasing a big, new building. I will have a lovely new office!

 

Be sure to check out the Whisperings Facebook page for little tit-bits about The Demon Hunters. You can also follow me on Twitter if you so wish! Links to the above are to be found on my website www.lindasworlds.net.

 

I will try to be a better blogger. Really I will!
