For those of you who haven’t heard yet, my father-in-law has been fighting cancer for the last year. Unfortunately, he’s fought the good fight but due to masses of blood clots in his head, they cannot finish the job. So he is now in hospice care at home. As you can imagine my wife, myself, and our family are devastated and are trying to spend as much time with him as we can. So I won’t be posting as much, but I don’t want my readers to be left without much new here.
So I’m offering you all the chance to post articles about writing here on my blog. Feel free to push a book or books of yours, but please offer some tidbits or story about an aspect of writing and how it affected that particular book(s). I’m looking for insights into plot, editing, characters, development, rewrites, cover art, publishing, agents, self-publishing, etc. Again, all I ask is that if your pushing book, make sure the article connects to it.
I look forward to hearing back from those who are interested. And by the way, if you have an old entry from your own blog that fits what I’m looking for and would like to update it or just reproduce it for the audience here, that would be okay as well. Just let me know.
Thanks and take care of yourselves everyone. I’ll be posting and keeping you all updated on what’s happening with my father-in-law and the family.
If I haven’t done so already, I’ll be happy to do a guest post regarding my transition from writing commentaries for a community newspaper to writing my first YA Paranormal/Time Travel/First Kiss romance novel entitled “I Kissed a Ghost”

I am so sorry to hear about your father-in-law. How heart breaking. I’d be happy to help. Send me a private message on Facebook (for Marla). I can share a short story or something about writing or fantasy (as my human self, not the Vampire alter ego.) And YOU take care and do what you need to do to take care of the people you love.

Hi Allan,
My prayers go out to you and your wife. I am so sorry to hear about it and will be praying for the both of you to receive new strength during this extremely trying time.
I am working on my own book , and therefore, I am not able to write a blog post, but I sincerely hope that you will receive more offers than you can ever imagine.
Take care of yourself.
Ciao,
Patti

Prayers going out to you and your family at this rough time. I am smack in the middle of getting ready to edit my proof and have a daughter visiting that I haven’t seen since Christmas. I will check back in. And you readers will be here when you are able to write. Take care.
