Starting January 19th, I’m going to be joining a stellar line-up writing each week about, yep, you guessed it, writing, at the Genreality blog. Now i know there are a ton of blogs out there about writing, including my own Storytellersunplugged, but what makes this blog different is that it is devoted to genre writing and written by authors working in five different genres – should make for some interesting perspectives!
Here’s the line-up:
MONDAYS: Alison Kent, Romance and Contemporary Fiction Author
A published author of forty works including single title and category romance novels, novellas, a Smart Pop essay on the television show Charmed, and The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Writing Erotic Romance, Alison Kent blogs for free as many words as she’s paid to write.
