INK Sisters Write

Dear Alison, I have a confession to make. Well, I already confessed it to you the other day, but I need to confess it to the world. I need to get this heavy weight off my chest. Sherman Alexie's book, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian , sat on my #TBR list for years. Years . I am ashamed. I am embarrassed. I am upset. I don't know why I never bought the book. I looked at the book every time I went to the bookstore. Every time . And I'm not talking about just glancing at it. I picked it up. I touched it. I flicked through the pages. I pulled it into my chest. Then I set it back on the shelf. Every damn time. Hell, I know I even looked at it when I was with you at New York's Books of Wonder. Well, I guess you can't blame me for that one--after all, I had Rainbow on my mind, but back to the Kim bashing. Call me an idiot. Call me an asshole. Do want to know the worst part? The magic that sits between the black covers was no mystery to me. For...

Dear Alison, Yesterday, we revealed our #AtoZChallenge theme, #AuthorApril. Today, I get to kickoff our campaign with a book review of BOOKISHLY EVER AFTER by Isabel Bandeira--that's quite a few B's, isn't it? In this post, I have a few special surprises too, so keep reading because there might be a free book at the end...(I've never been very good at surprises.) Book Blurb:             In a perfect world, sixteen-year-old Phoebe Martins’ life would be a book. Preferably one filled with magic and a hot paranormal love interest. Unfortunately, her life probably wouldn’t even qualify for a quiet contemporary.             Everything changes when Phoebe learns that Dev, the hottest guy in the clarinet section, might actually have a crush on her. So, Phoebe turns to the heroines in her favorite books for advice on a personality overhaul. Becoming as awesome as her book characters isn’t a...

Hi everyone! If you've been hopping around the blogosphere and came across my site, you might have noticed some changes. First, the new name: INK Sisters Write. Then, the new address: http://inksisterswrite.blogspot.com. Then the disappearance of some pages and the addition of some new pages. Well folks, I'm not always the most regular blogger--shocking I know, but I love the blog and have a lot of fun working on posts, but I needed to find a way to make blogging even MORE fun. The solution was simple: Ask my Ink Sister, Alison Green Myers, to join me and guess what?!?! She agreed to become my online partner in crime.  THE TRUE LOVE STORY WITHOUT ALL THE MUSHY GUSHY DETAILS: Alison and I met at the New York SCBWI Conference in 2012, and we've been together ever since. We call it Writer Love at First Sight, and that's what we plan to do on the blog: share the writing love with each other and all of you!  INK SISTERS Donna Boock, Kim Briggs, and Al...
