Every once in a while you're reminded that social media can be a really good thing. Like when you stumble upon an author you had never heard of because of a writer friend you met on Twitter long ago. Thanks to Tracie Banister, I've been introduced to Melanie Summers who writes irresistible rom-coms and women's fiction.
NYC. Paris. Los Angeles. London. San Francisco. Rome. These are where so many of my favorite novels take place — and with good reason. They're incredible cities where the setting itself becomes its own character. But for my last three novels, I've eschewed these popular locales with good reason.
Every once in a while we're reminded that social media can introduce you to delightful people you'd never meet otherwise. Case in point? I connected with author Anita Chapman as part of the #WritingCommunity on Twitter.

One of the most delightful aspects of securing agent representation— besides, you know, having an amazing advocate for my work—has been meeting the incredible authors who signed with Susan @ Golden Wheat Lit long before I did.
Author Rachel Mucha and I happen to share a few things in common. A literary agent, for one. Studying journalism in college. And a deep, deep love for likeable, memorable characters. Rachel's latest novel Bad Press hit shelves recently.
Suzie Waltner is one of those incredible authors who not only writes her own books but is just as generous about sharing her expertise with fellow novelists. All while rocking a full-time day job.
Mallory Pierce is the pen name for one of my all-time favorite rom-com authors Tracie Banister (no relation). In our recent Q&A she discusses the new chapter of her writing career.
While we live several states away from each other, my conversation with author Brandy Bruce felt like we were chatting over dinner. So it only made sense to continue the conversation with part two...
