I'm a Hustler Baby, I Just Want You to Know (+Giveaway, Ends 12/16)

11/30/2016

 
This month, Brenda Drake’s blog is doing something special. The Pitch Wars mentors are sharing specials moments of the past year and what our hopes are for the new year.

Mine are about books and family. And more importantly, how books are helping me live the kind of life I want with my little family.

I’m in awe of those overnight-success authors. I’m also in awe of the authors who have to claw their way to their publishing goals....

So Many Thanks To My Book Village

11/24/2016

 
This Thanksgiving week, the Debutantes are expressing their thanks. 
​
Like Crystal mentioned in her post, the acknowledgments at the end of BECOMING BONNIE are going to give some specific shout outs, but on this day of thanks I wanted to acknowledge the fact that this book has been touched by so many wonderful people and groups.

Becoming Bonnie is featured as a 2017 Most Anticipated Novel

11/21/2016

 
A big thank you goes out to Kathy Coe from A Glass of Wine for including Becoming Bonnie in her 2017 Most Anticipated feature! Click below for a Q&A, excerpt, and a giveaway!
It's already time for me to begin showcasing my 2017 Most Anticipated titles. I love this annual event because it not only allows me to talk about books I am super excited about but it lets me feature some pretty awesome authors. I have a bunch of amazing sounding books to share over the next couple weeks so I hope you are prepared for your 'to be read' pile to grow.

The first book is technically an adult novel but one with tons of  YA crossover appeal.  It introduces us to the young lady who would become half of one of the most recognizable crime duos in history.

A Complex Cover for a Complex Book + An Excerpt from BECOMING BONNIE

11/17/2016

 
This week's Deb Ball topic is book titles and covers!

Like many authors, getting my cover for BECOMING BONNIE was a moment I eagerly awaited. But, unlike a lot of authors, I didn't have a strong visual of what I wanted. This is weird for me; I'm a really visual person. But, nope, my imagination kept coming up empty. I think, in part, my blank slate of expectations was because the cover had to capture so many different elements: Bonnie and Clyde (obviously), the flapper/speakeasy atmosphere of the 1920s that crashes with the stock market, a hint of danger but also Bonnelyn's initial innocence, and of course, appeal for the historical women's fiction reader...

The Day Jenni L. Walsh Quit Writing

11/10/2016

 
This week's Debutante Ball topic is about big decisions we've made as writers. I'd like to talk about that time I decided to quit writing.

Back in 2015, I wore many hats. I was a stay-at-home mom of a feisty toddler. I was a wife. I was a full-time advertising copywriter, who worked remotely while also caring for my daughter. I was growing another human being. I was trying to become a published author. All at once. And I felt like I kept dropping the ball..

Jenni L. Walsh Has All the Excuses This #NanoWriMo

11/3/2016

 
This week, in honor of National Novel Writing Month (#NanoWriMo), the Debs are talking about our feelings about external challenges, deadlines, writing contests, and more.

I’ll just cut to the chase: I’m not doing #NanoWriMo. I like the idea. I do. And really, I thrive on pressure and tight deadlines...
