As an Irish author, I’m always on the lookout for new and upcoming fellow Irish authors I can help and support. Today, I want to tell you all about new Irish steamy romance from Penny Best.

Character Profiles – My New Writing Experiment

I’m looking at character profiles today and starting a new writing experiment to help me determine if this is something I should be doing. The idea came about after reading some interesting character profile questions that writers should know and I kinda liked the idea of doing something like this. I’m also trying to stay focused while I decide what story to write next.

Visions Chapters 2 and 3 Now Available on Dreame

It’s been a busy week but I’m delighted to say that Visions is being read and enjoyed over on Dreame which is fantastic. Dreame is an excellent app for young adult readers which is the target audience for my Cursed Angels duet, and that is why I decided to publish book 1 there first. So far the experiment is going well and I’ve just added the next two chapters to the site.

First Publication of the Year at Visual Verse

I love Visual Verse and the picture prompts they post at the start of every month. I discovered this site last year and started doing the monthly prompts. I missed out on a couple of months where I was busy or the picture didn’t inspire me, but this year I am hoping to do the prompt every month. I’m delighted to say my piece for January was accepted and is now live on their website.
