It's here! My big blog giveaway where 3 lucky followers will be chosen tonight at 7.00 PM Mountain Time through a random drawing to receive a variety of prizes, including the brand new Now Write! Mysteries; Suspense, Crime, Thriller, and Other Mystery Fiction Exercises from Today's Best Writers and Teachers published on December 29, 2011.
And (drum roll, please...) I am so thrilled and honored to tell you that I have been included in this collection. My article "Deep Motivation: Characters Have Feelings, Too" starts on Page 267.
Edited by Sherry Ellis and Laurie Lamson, Now Write! Mysteries is the fourth volume in a series that includes Now Write! Fiction and Now Write! Screenwriting. Right now I'm totally enthralled with this book (and not just because I'm in it...) and I'm happy to report I'm also doing each and every one of the exercises as per my recent post on staying creative every day. I'm up to page 20 and, people, I am inspired. This is an amazing book full of great advice. I think it's going to keep me happy and writing for the rest of the year and beyond.
If you'd like a free copy, there's still some time to follow my blog today and be included in the random drawing tonight via Random.org. Note: Anyone who has signed up to follow my blog through my page at JacketFlap.com is considered a "follower" too and will be included in the drawing.
