Some things always surprise me. I was really concerned about The Designated Drivers' Club. For me, the book had special significance. It represented the importance of family, love, resilience, and how we often find joy when we least expect. It was a story of letting go of the past and living in the moment, even [...]
At the San Francisco Writer's Conference this weekend, I attended a session called "Meet the Fiction Agents". It had a panel that included Kimberley Cameron, Liz Kracht, Jill Marsal, Taylor Martindale, Laurie McLean, Michael Neff, Rayhane Sanders, Ken Sherman, Nephele Tempest, Becky Vinter, and Gordon Warnock. These Agent gave information on what they were looking [...]
Today I'm back to Texas after a fast paced few days at the San Francisco Writer's Conference. It was a wonderful experience and very informative. One of the sessions I attended was presented by Constance Hall (I will link to her information in a moment). The session was titled "Vex, Hex, Smash, Smooch: How to [...]

Here's the detail: http://harlequinjunkie.com/review-bring-it-on-by-shelley-k-wall/ Oh, and keep your eyes out for my next Crimson novel, The Designated Driver's Club. It comes out the first of March. That should keep my blood pumping for a while! Have a great day. Shelley
