The Link Back

Fantasy and freelance writer, K.N. Lee, nominated me for this awesome award. Her Tweets and daily writing prompts are pretty amazing, as well as her short stories and fan fictions. The Galloway Lake is still my favorite and I will shamelessly say I wish it were at least a novella so we could learn more. Click on over and check out my review for her debut novel, The Chronicles of Koa.

You can find K.N. Lee at Write Like A Wizard, The Chronicles of Koa, Facebook, and Twitter.

7 Random and Writerly Things About Me

1) I graduated culinary school in North Carolina a few years ago, yet I refuse to work in a restaurant. Why? The Man tries to hold me back on the creative front, so I work out of my house when I’m not bogged down with nursing school.

Dobos Torte

2) My first piece of fiction was written in first grade. The teacher instructed the class to write something interesting about our summer. Even back then I was boring, so I made up an entire 6 weeks’ worth of goodness.

3) I am an Army wife . . . no, it’s nothing like the show.

4) A question I'm always asked is why don’t I put my writing “out there” more? The answer is: Because I am, essentially, a weenie. You can judge me now. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

5) There are 2 things you cannot do in my house: 1) Speak hateful words and 2) Leave hungry . . . I am a southerner, you will gain 3 lbs before you leave. You're welcome.

6) I have soundtracks for every short story, novella, and book I have written/am writing. I make a playlist page so anyone who reads them can get a feel for the moods of my characters. I also reference scenes on the aforementioned playlists.

7) I am extremely shy. I'm that person who turns beet red at any little thing. I bite my lip when I'm concentrating really hard. Yeah. Not proud of either one of those.
