Meet Devon McKay

Wednesday is guest day at The Writing Corner and today we have joining us new author, Devon McKay, whose new book Cowboy on the Run has just been released for Kindle by The Wild Rose Press.

Devon, tell me a little of your writing journey? How did you get started? Did you always want to be a writer?

Actually, I wanted to work with animals. But, I’ve always been a story teller. Although, it had to be my version of the story. Even as a child I can remember reinventing the ending of classic bedtime stories with my own rendition of happily ever after. As far as the starting of my writing career, I always wrote. As a matter of fact, I can remember several short stories in the early stages of my writing career. None worth mentioning, unless I count my 4^th grade book The Cat Did It! To this day, just the thought of the story turns back time and makes me laugh like a silly nine year old! It wasn’t until I took a creative writing course in high school with an insanely inspiring teacher that I felt as if I actually had a future in writing.

 On your webpage you say you see romance in everything you see. Do you find yourself composing stories in your head of some of those things – like old buildings or lonely roads?

Absolutely! What could possibly be more romantic than an old building or a lonely road? Oh…the possibilities are endless! I think everything, and I do mean everything, has a story.

 Who are some of your favorite authors in your genre?

I have so many. Mary Balough, Lisa Kleypas, Julie Garwood, Jude Deveraux, Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, and several of the authors writing for The Wild Rose Press just to name a few. Honestly, the list goes on and on.

 Why did you choose that particular genre?

That’s easy. I’m a hopeless romantic. I’ve always been intrigued with the ups and downs of relationships and why people do the things they do when they are in love. Humans are a funny species…most of the time the turmoil is self-inflicted and it’s a bumpy ride. However, the outcome is always worth it. I’m a happy ending kind of gal.

 Your first book, Cowboy on the Run, has just come out. What gave you the idea for this story?

I got the idea from a verse in a song by Lady Gaga. “I’m not leaving here without you.” At one point, my hero actually used it in my book. The line got stuck in my head and I couldn’t make it go away. It’s quite a statement.  [ID1]  

Tell us a little about this book and what made you want to write it?

First love, lost love and two little secrets a mother can no longer hide. How could I not write it? I couldn’t help myself. Once I got the idea in my head, I simply couldn’t stop. Cowboy on the Run is about life and families. A modern twist on the knight in shining armor rescuing a damsel in distress. In this case, it’s more like a tarnished shell. And the damsel? Not so distressed. Although, I have to admit, a man coming back to reclaim his first and only love and refusing to take no for an answer certainly makes my knees weak. Finding out he’s a father to a twin boy and girl gives the story an interesting twist.

 What did you like best about your hero?

He’s flawed. There is no doubt about it, the man is screwed up. Oh sure, he’s sexy as hell with steely blue eyes and a devil may care attitude, but he comes with baggage. Raised singlehandedly by an abusive, alcoholic father, Nate learned at an early age how easy it was to run from problems. It takes him a while, but he figures out running isn’t the solution. Even with this newly found insight, he’s far from perfect. And the itch to run never goes away. It is always just below the surface.

What about your heroine?

Jessie has grit. Endurance. No matter what knocks her down, she’s able to somehow pick herself up and face the world again. Although, such a hammering doesn’t come without a price. She’s extremely guarded. In fact there’s very few people she does trust, defending her family with the fierceness of a lioness. Whereas Nate struggles with the urge to run, Jessie is the opposite – stubbornly fighting until the bitter end. She’s resilient. However, beyond her tough exterior, lies a vulnerable girl harboring a broken heart.

 What are you working on now?

I’m always working on something. I can’t go an entire night without snippets of new ideas for novels forming in my head and keeping me awake. Often times I am up at 4 am jotting down notes. It drives my husband crazy. I recently submitted a story to The Wild Rose Press about an overly ambitious advertising executive making a travel brochure on Alaska and the territorial Alaskan who plans on making her endeavor anything but easy. Fingers crossed my editor enjoys the story as much as I did writing it.

 What genre would you like to write if you had the time to research?

I’m toying with writing a crime novel and have written several short horror stories, but I like romance. I always return to the love stories. I think I might try my hand at a historical western. I can’t seem to stay away from those cowboys for too long.

 This is your first book with The Wild Rose Press, any advice to beginning writers?

Keep writing. Never give up the dream. Write a great book and submit it to The Wild Rose Press. TWRP is absolutely amazing!

 Is there anything else you would like reader to know about Cowboy on the Run?

My book is about family. Oh, there’s plenty of romance and I can’t say enough about the turbulent steamy affair between Nate and Jessie, but there is so much more to the story. There’s the big secret Jessie’s kept from Nate. The children. On opposite ends of the spectrum they are both charming and endearing, yet adventurous and impulsive. Not to mention the rest of Jessie’s family who are just as protective as she is. And did I forget to mention a villain? Yes, every great story must have an evil, untrusting sort lurking around in the background and up to no good. I don’t want to give away too much. Just a taste, so you will read the book.

Thank you so much for having me Rebecca. I had no idea that being a blog guest could be so much fun! We have something in common. Your book – Dead Man’s Rules is coming out at the same time as mine. Now that’s exciting! And I can’t wait to read it!

Thank you, Devon and good luck with Cowboy on The Run.

Setting the Story Stage

When I am asked where I get my story ideas, I never have a set answer. Having worked in TV news for many, many years I have always been an avid news follower so news stories have always gotten my interest. I take an interesting story and play what if as I develop characters.

But people too can catch my interest, either with a story of something that happened to them or someone they knew and then I begin considering how to twist it into something else.

But my main source of ideas seems to be places. A location grabs my interest and I want to set a story there. From the first moment I set foot in an old abandoned Victorian house when I was in grade school and thought of a story I became hooked on writing about locations.   

My first book, Love on Deck, was based on my spending time at a baseball Spring Training camp. I’ve often told the story of how a walk on the Vancouver Sea Wall gave me the idea for my book, Deadly Messages.

  And that brings me to my latest romantic suspense novel, Dead Man’s Rules, just released on Kindle. This book was based on another of those scary trips into the unknown with a bunch of friends. We were scoping out an old company store that was said to have bloody handprint on the wall. No one knew where it came from or how it got there. It was spooky, even if it was barely visible, but it got me to thinking…  Before long I concocted the tale of Marco Gonzales, a dying man with plenty of secrets and a reporter who wants to find out the truth about his violent end.  

It turned out I couldn’t tell the whole story in just one book,  because I fell in love with the little town I created and I found new characters with their own stories to tell.  So far I have written one book and parts of two others set in the little town I made up of Rio Rojo, NM

Setting plays a critical part in this story – not just from the standpoint of the old dance hall (which is what I turned the company store into). And I find it plays a big role in all my stories, whether it’s a spooky old house (like Red Fern Manor in Shadows from the Past) or a sunny baseball field.

But writing a good setting can be a challenge. Sometimes I think you need to be at a location, but I also think you need to pay attention to any location you visit. Any place can be a setting for  your next book. When I was writing Dead Man, I drew on my roots in a small town, remembering the old drug store with its soda fountain, remembering how you could walk from one end to the next and back in a little more than an hour, which shows you how fast you can drive through it. And I called to mind what you might see as you drove through it as well as the houses in the better part of town and in the  more rundown sections and how close they all were. I also recalled the people you might meet in that town, the friendly drug store owner, the grocery store owner who remembered your name.

What I have done over the years is not just bring all my memories back to my stories though, when I travel, I keep future stories in mind. A drive through the mountains means inhaling the mountain air for its particular bite or even a walk on a Denver street means soaking up all the sights, sounds and smells around me so that next time I sit down to write about a city street I can conjure that up. Sitting in Los Angeles traffic not too long ago had me thinking about my next book, Blues at 11, as did a visit to the beach and one of my favorite restaurants there.

Any place you visit can turn into a scene setter in one of your books. Pay attention next time you visit… well anywhere! It could become a location for your next book. By the way, that old company store is still standing though you can't get into it these days and my last visit there to take pictures prompted a whole new round of different story ideas.

 

 

Getting off to A Late Start

The year 2014 is barely underway and I already feel like I’m way behind. February is already looming and I haven’t even finished my list of New Year’s resolutions that I started at the end of December. I set lots of great goals for the year but lost them within the first week.


Yesterday I found all my charts I’d started last month with everything I was going to accomplish this year and realized nothing was filled in. So now I am facing the second month of the year without having accomplished my first month’s goals.

Oh well, it is never too late to start and that’s what I am doing now. One of my goals this year is to be more constant with my blogs. Why? Well, I find that blogging, like teaching, helps me as a writer too. Here are a few points to consider:


Any sort of writing can lead to more writing.  What I find is that for me any sort of writing can be helpful because it gets me in the writing mood. It makes me sit down at the computer keyboard and start to put words together. Before long, even if I am writing something nonfiction, I start thinking about my characters and my stories and what I want to say next.

Blogging can make me do research at times. If I am working on a blog about writing, I find myself more apt to pick up one of my many writing books and look through it for  inspiration or ideas.  Usually I end up finding things I can apply to my own work or ideas I can incorporate into my classes.

Blogging has also introduced me to new authors and new genres. In the past I have had guest authors at my blogs or appeared as a guest on other author’s blogs. To do that I have had to research those authors and in reading over their blogs I’ve found some great books I didn’t realize were out there.  I also found inspiration to work on my new historical novel and just yesterday I read a blog on writing history and science fiction and why they are similar. It made me think and gave me some ideas for the future.

Blogging lets me get things off my chest and my mind. We all get frustrated in our writing at times and blogging about something that irritates me allows me to discuss those things and move on.

Blogging also allows me to express excitement too. It lets me share conferences or events I’ve attended where I learn things or discovered new ideas about writing. Again, that can lead to increased production on my own fiction. 

So now I’ve finished step one. I am going to work more on my blogs – look for The Writing Corner on Wednesday and my Champagne Daze celebrations on Friday. This Wednesday I will be blogging at Savvy Authors on how to even out the writing roller coaster.


Starting next week I will also be doing a Write That Novel blog on Monday. It’s Kindle release day for my Dead Man’s Rules suspense book and I’ll be writing about why I enjoy working with a small publisher, The Wild Rose Press.

Meet the Author - Donna Michael

All this month we have been featuring a number of my fellow authors from The Wild Rose Press.  Today my guest is Donna Michael, whose sexy cowboy heroes really caught my attention.

Donna, you write in a number of genres.  Is there any one in particular that you like better than another?   Why?

~Thanks for having me here today, Rebecca. My mind is constantly going and to pin down one genre is tough because I never know when the fancy strikes me. But I have discovered I really enjoy writing hot, humorous and heartwarming, and picked that up for my tagline. If that can be considered a genre, then that’s what I like because it can be applied to all. lol

How do you keep them all straight when you write?

~For me, it’s easy. Even though they may all have a common thread in the humor and heartwarming aspect, they all have a different tone and that is the key for me.

Where do you come up with such a wide variety of ideas for each genre?

 ~As it states on my website, it’s all my mother’s fault. Lol Actually, my parents. I was exposed to all kinds of books and movie genres, and every one of them sparked my imagination. And it just never stopped. Every day life sparks a story idea. I can remember sitting outside my son’s basketball practice watching birds sit on a wire. One bird in particular was always by itself, the others would land in different sections of the wire and stay away from him. I wondered why he was ostracized and a paranormal idea formed right there.

Yeah, it doesn’t take much. Ideas are everywhere!

Cowboys make great heroes and you include a good many in your books.  What do you think makes them so special?

~Cowboys, to me, are so male, so sexy, yet so chivalrous even when they’re frustrated with the heroine. And of course, I take great pleasure in having the heroine frustrate that man! I also enjoy writing a military hero, and when I can combine the two (cowboy and military), like in Cowboy-Sexy, it’s such a treat for me!

You mention on your blog that your mother read a lot to you.  What were your favorite stories when you were growing up?

 ~Fairy Tales with Happily-Ever-After endings, of course. J

Please tell us a little about your journey to publication.

~That which doesn’t get us published makes us stronger. lol Rejection, rejection, rejection. I have a nice drawer full, but I am proud of them. They helped me to persevere, grow and look for a publisher that publishes the type of stories I write. I had waited until my last child hit grade school, before I settled down to pen my stories. My first sale was Thanks For Giving, a midlength story published through The Wild Rose Press. This was back in 2006. Since then I have over fifteen books published through two publishers and several I self publish, with more waiting on my hard drive...and in my head. I am a big fan of going both routes in my career.

What advice would you give an aspiring writer that you wish you knew when you began writing?

 

~None. I know that sounds terrible, but in order to grow as an author, you need the ups and downs. And since the publishing world has changed so much since I first started, my advice would be obsolete. So, just write what you love, be true to your voice, and get a critique partner with a similar voice.

What is your latest book or the next book you have coming out?

~ The third book in my Harland County Series, HER UNIFORM COWBOY is due out in early December. Kade is a sheriff, part owner of a horse ranch and a First Sergeant in the Texas Army National Guard. He has some lingering issues, but so does my heroine, Brandi. She has a thyroid disease and is a designer, but used to be a violinist in the philharmonic and in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, which she keeps to herself for a bit. I like to keep my protagonists real with real issues.

HER UNIFORM COWBOY will be FREE for the first three days of release. Please keep an eye on my website to look for the download link.

 Cowboy-Sexy Blurb:

 
Finn Brennan was used to his brother playing practical jokes, but this time he’d gone too far--sending him a woman as a ranch hand, and not just a woman, but a Marine.

When Lt. Camilla Walker's CO asks her to help out at his family's dude ranch until he returns from deployment, she never expected to be thrust into a mistaken engagement to his sexy, cowboy twin--a former Navy SEAL who hates the Corps.

The Corps took Finn’s father, his girlfriend and threatened his naval career. He’s worked hard for another shot at getting back to active duty and won’t let his brother’s prank interfere. The last thing he needs is the temptation of a headstrong, unyielding, hot Marine getting in the way.

Cowboy-Sexy is available in eBook, Audio and now in Print. Here are the buy links:

Meet the Author - Presenting Susan Macatee

This week I am continuing a special look at some of my fellow Wild Rose Press authors. Today my special guest is Susan Macatee, who will be discussing her work and her book, Thoroughly Modern Amanda.
 

Welcome Susan. You specialize in writing historical romances, especially around the Civil War. What interested you about that time period?

 

First I'd like to say thanks for having me on your blog today, Rebecca.

 

I got drawn into the Civil War period when my husband started watching the Ken Burns series. Afterward, we took family trips to visit battlefields and museums and our ultimate Civil War location was Gettysburg. Since we live in Philadelphia, we were able to visit there more than once and we met a few reenactors. My husband was fascinated and wanted to participate, so he found a reenactment group in Philadelphia. We joined as a family and spent about ten years while our sons were growing up, camping out, dressing up and living as if we were in the 19th century during the Civil War. My husband, and later the boys as they grew older, played the part of soldiers. All the research that went into making reenacting authentic trickled down into my writing.

 

Your blog has some fascinating historical information about Victorian women writers. Is there anyone in particular who really intrigues you?

 

All the women writers I've researched fascinate me, but in particular, I loved the story of Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women. She worked as a volunteer nurse during the Civil War in one of the hospitals and contracted typhoid fever. The drug they gave her to fight it gave her mercury poisoning that affected her for the rest of her life. I actually modeled part of the heroine's story in a young adult novel I had published in 2002 on Alcott. The heroine, a teen in the story, worked beside her physician father in a Washington hospital, became ill, and had to be sent home. My character didn't contract a life-long illness though, and that same character was resurrected at a later age in my American-Victorian romance, Cassidy's War. But I loved the idea of a Victorian woman novelist so much, that a few of my heroines in other books and novellas have been writers. Both Erin's Rebel and Thoroughly Modern Amanda feature women writer heroines.

 

Your blog also lists some interesting historical facts. Where do you come up with them?

 

Most I learned while reenacting and reading non-fiction books about the period. I've used a lot of that information in my romance stories.

 

 Where do you come up with the ideas for your historical stories?

 

My first full-length romance, Erin's Rebel, is partly autobiographical. When I was in college, I thought about going into journalism, but decided I liked writing fiction better. My heroine in that story is a newspaper reporter. And, since it's a time travel story, I used my own experiences as a reenactor in describing my heroine's reactions to being trapped in the 19th century in a Confederate army camp. The other stories I've had published were primarily based on real life people in non-fiction books I've read about the period. Everything I read filters down into my stories in one way or another.

 

 Historical romance has always been a favorite of some many readers. What do you think draws them in?

 

I think, like me, it's fun to be swept away by a romance and no matter how bad the twists and turns take the couple, a reader always knows they'll get that happily-ever-after. For me, and I'm sure for them, it's pure escape. Who wouldn't want to get lost in a great romance after a hard day?

 

 Tell us a little about your journey to publication?

 

It was long coming. I'd always wanted to write and took journalism and creative writing courses in school, but it wasn't until I'd been a stay-at-home mom for about eight years that I finally took a correspondence course in creative writing with the ultimate goal of seeking publication. This was years before the Internet existed. While still finishing up the course, the instructor encouraged me to submit the stories I wrote for the course. I was ultimately published in a few small magazines that paid only in copies. I then decided I wanted to write a novel and took a novel-writing course. My first novel was a children's book that was never published, although I did submit it. Just racked up a slew of rejections.

 

But I persevered and finally joined Romance Writer's of America. I took a lot of online workshops with RWA, and entered my initial work in contests to get feedback. I finally published my first romance, a time travel, with The Wild Rose Press. I now have seven books and novellas out with them and one coming out this January.

 

What do you like best about your current release? 

 

I like that the heroine in Thoroughly Modern Amanda is a Victorian writer with big ambitions and a feminist streak. And the hero, who travels through time, is a construction worker in love with Victorian houses.

 

Tell us about it and your inspiration for it?

 

Thoroughly Modern Amanda was inspired my Civil War time travel romance, Erin's Rebel. Amanda is the daughter of the hero in Erin's Rebel, Will Montgomery, a Confederate army captain. In Thoroughly Modern Amanda, she has her own story as an adult woman working as a writer for a small town magazine. In the original book, Erin's Rebel, Amanda's step-mother, time traveling Erin Branigan, was a newspaper reporter, who finds work in the past writing for a magazine, then ultimately settles into writing novels. Amanda aspires to be a writer like her step-mother. And the hero, Jack Lawton, is a construction worker who wants to restore an old Victorian home. Research on Victorian homes for my other stories had a direct influence on the creation of this new story.

Guest Blogging This Week

Hi All,

I am away from my blog this week, but I'll be appearing as a guest on several other blogs. I hope you'll stop by and visit.  If you leave a comment at any of them, you might win a free copy of Shadows from the Past, my novella that has just come out in print from The Wild Rose Press.

Today, I am guesting over at fellow TWRP author, Dylan Newton's blog, discussing Shadows from the Past, among other topics, including the reasons why I love to participate in NaNoWriMo every year. It's an intensive month of writing, but I'm already on track to finish 50,000 words.


Tomorrow I will be a guest at Victorian writer, Susan McAtee's blog. I'll be talking about how I develop my many characters and what they meant to me, plus why I chose to write a gothic suspense story.

Finally, later this week, on Thursday, Stacey Moreno from Shadows will be interviewed at Donna's Dish.  Find out what she's hoping to achieve as she sets out on a journey of discovery.

Again, you could win a print copy of my novella if you leave a comment at any of those blogs. I'll be selecting a different winner every day.

I'll be back next week with a look at my visit to the Tony Hillerman Writer's Conference in Santa Fe New Mexico.  

Meet the Authors

For the next two months I am going to introduce some of my fellow Wild Rose Press authors who write suspense and whose books have just come out or will be coming out in the near future. I'll also be featuring the opportunity to win a free copy of their books or one of mine for those who leave a comment.

Today we are talking to  Dylan Newton, who is from upstate New York. She's always loved reading and writing but got sidetracked by the real world, like so many aspiring authors. She is married to her high school sweetheart, raising a family and writing romance and paranormal romance. Her latest book is titled, ANY WITCH WAY, and is available in print this week from The Wild Rose Press.

Welcome, Dylan, and please tell us a little bit about your book and how you came up with the idea?


ANY WITCH WAY  is a paranormal romance that features a graduate student with a devastating curse who encounters a Wiccan with a secret of his own. Together they battle an ancient evil, struggling to save their lives and their new-found love, ANY WITCH WAY they can.

The idea for the novel was actually a writing challenge issued by my critique partners: we were to write a story based on Halloween. In researching the holiday, I discovered October 31 is the Wiccan New Year ‘Samhain.’ That led me to researching Wicca, and the rest is in my book!

You seem to specialize in books dealing with the supernatural.  Where did you get that interest?

I was always sort of a morbid kid. My family used to call me “Little Miss Blood and Guts” because I had a fascination with all things creepy. After my school day was over, I hung out at our local library—mostly because I hated the school bus and had to find a place to wait to be picked up. Our library was this old, building that had a basement for the outdated books called ‘the stacks’—it was a spine-tingling, creepy labyrinth full of books that held every paranormal topic my little blood-and-guts heart desired.

How did you get started in your writing career?

I did it the old-fashioned way—by cold query letter. My first novel, DESPITE THE GHOSTS, was my NaNoWriMo project. I finished it, edited, and then sent query letters to my top agents and publishers. My query worked (click here to see a copy of my query letter), and I got several partial manuscript requests, finally accepting a contract with The Wild Rose Press in 2008.

What advice would you give a would-be writer wanting to get published?

1.    Finish your novel.
2.    Edit it to within an inch of its life (or yours)
3.    Query, Pitch and submit—try all avenues and be persistent! Many times it’s not magic, it’s mathematics!

Who are your favorite authors and why?

Ooh, there’s so many! I adore Stephen King (of course) but I also love Elizabeth Berg, Gillian Flynn, Gena Showalter…my list could fill pages. I love authors that paint vivid pictures in my mind—things that stay with me well after the last page is turned.

What comes first for you -- the character, the plot or the setting?

That’s a process of elimination. I don’t plot (although I’d like to!), and setting is usually driven by the character’s story. So, character, character, character for me!

 

Please tell us what you are working on next.

My third novel, “Despite the Fangs” is due out in 2014. This paranormal romance features a foul-mouthed werewolf heroine with overactive follicles, a lab-created, sexy hero who’d do anything for his son, and a world that—for the time being—doesn’t know they exist.

That sounds like a fun read. Thanks for being with us today, Dylan! We wish you the best of luck with your books. They sound fascinating and I know I am ordering a copy of "Any Witch Way" and I'll be watching for the others in the future.

 

Thanks again for having me here today, Becky! I’m thrilled that my second book, “Any Witch Way” is finally out in print! While I love the convenience of e-books, as a reader (and author) there’s something about physical books that is so gratifying! In fact, one lucky commenter will receive a SIGNED COPY of “Any Witch Way” (US only) as a thank you for visiting! J Comment below and good luck!
