I own Hunter Investments, a billion dollar hedge fund. I admit it, I’m a total womanizer.  A player, a serial-seducer, call me what you like. I enjoy a variety of women and I don’t do love.

KIM BRIGGS HAUNTING READS BOOK REVIEW: The Merciless by Danielle Vega

The Merciless author, Danielle Vega looks innocent enough. Don't be deceived. This Young Adult Author knows how to scare with a capital S! Don't let the pretty in pink book cover fool you either. GENRE: Young Adult horror When there’s a warning on the first page of a book for Mature Audiences only—you know, NO, you expect to be scared out of your mind.  The Merciless does not disappoint. The pitch: Mean Girl s meets Carrie ... I know, right?!?! Why even bother with back copy, just tear the book open. Danielle Vega brings the horrifying aspects of human nature to  The Merciless .  The Merciless begins like many young adults novels. New student in new town hoping to fit it. New student meets new group of Barbie/Martha girls who decide the social ranking of every student in the school, and new student becomes the 'it' accessory of the month, and of course, there's a cute boy who has potential. ...

HAUNTING FRIDAY READS BOOK REVIEW: Duplicity by N.K. Traver

                                     GENRE: Young Adult Contemporary Science Fiction Thriller (I think I just made that up but it works.) N.K. Traver is awesome. First, she took her knowledge as a computer programmer and combined it with her talent as a writer and voila’ Duplicity was born. Second, because she mentee’d Alison Green Myers, my kick ass Ink Sister in #PitchWars. Alison sings her praises and I do pretty much whatever Alison tells me to do;) Traver nails the Male Protagonist Point of View (POV) in Duplicity —and I don’t admit that often. I scrutinize dialogue, body language, and inner monologue when a female/male writes the opposite genders POV. Most times when an author tries a different gender he or she uses stereotypical characterizations that make me cringe, but when the author gets it right? Well, that’s time for a Happy Dance. ...

WRITE HABIT: What's Your Tense BY KIM BRIGGS

YOUR PAST, YOUR PRESENT, YOUR FUTURE **For the sake of brevity, I’m not going to give a Grammar lesson on all the sub-categories of tenses, but I will discuss each tense and provide a few examples of when it’s used well, as well as, useful tips to take your writing to the next level. PAST TENSE Most books, both fiction and nonfiction, tend to be written in the PAST TENSE. It began thousands of year ago with when hunters returned home with their kill slung over their shoulders. Following the feast, villagers sat around the bonfire and listened to stories about the hunt, and so began our oral tradition of retelling a past event. Eventually, inspiration struck, and someone decided to record these stories. First through pictures, then through words. If you pick up a book, whether it’s from the bookshelf at home, at the library, at the story, from your neighbor’s coffee table, it’s probably written in the PAST TENSE. It’s a writer’s GO TO POV. Rainbow Rowell weaves past...

ALL THINGS YA and NA NAME CHANGE

Times are a changing. Big things are happening in my writing life. My New Adult Thriller, And Then He, debuts Thursday on Amazon. Don’t worry—you’ll hear ALL about it. I will be shamelessly plugging myself on every social media outlet I’m a part of.  Don’t miss the cover reveal tomorrow. It’s sure to warm you up on a brisk fall day. Hell, you might even overheat. But there’s also more to my writing career then New Adult and Young Adult fiction writing. My writing and reading interests run the gamut of categories and genres—that’s why I’ve decided to change the name of my blog to ALL THINGS WRITING. I’m excited about the change. REALLY excited. ALL THINGS WRITING will allow me to interview and cheerlead for all my writing and illustrator buddies, and I’ve got A LOT of them. It’ll also gives me the opportunity to talk about different issues that don’t fit the old blog. So, get ready because big things are coming your way! Write on, Kim Briggs
