Coming Soon: Author Interviews and Guest Posts
Just wanted to drop a quick line here (I do that a lot, don’t I?) and let you know about some stuff coming up that I’m a little excited about.I’m still trying to work the kinks out, so I don’t have an official date yet, but sometime in the next couple of weeks we’ll be having interviews with authors, and probably some guest posts by them as well.
Don’t worry — I’ll let you know the details when they come up ;)
Aside from that, Like Glass is still making the rounds on the reviewer circuit, and we should have at least one more review for you to check out within a week or two. So stay tuned — who knows what tomorrow shall bring!

Update: Starting Over with Shattered
It’s been a while since I posted anything on Shattered, and with good reason — there hasn’t been anything to post. The book kinda died on me. It just wasn’t going anywhere — the direction I wanted it to go, nor did it choose it’s own direction. It just kinda stalled out, and I wasn’t able to revive it.However, all is not lost. I’m restarting it from scratch, and I’m going about it differently this time. I probably won’t post as many status updates as I did before, because I’m a bit superstitious on that and I think those killed it (it’s a bit hard to explain why; just accept it as reasonable in my mind for now). I’m also trying to plot it out more than the last attempt, so hopefully this one will be better organized.
I’m also probably not going to be moving quite as fast, either. I want to take my time with this one and get it right (well, as right as a rough draft can be). The past attempt was just writing from the seat of my pants — almost free writing, actually — with very little … hmmm … impression? of what each scene was supposed to be like. If you’re a writer, I’m sure you know what I mean: those times when you’re just dead to the world because you’re so involved in the scene? Yeah, I didn’t have that many of those in the last go-round, and I’m going to try and keep what writing I do without being in the zone down to a bare minimum.
So, that’s what’s going on with Shattered.
Like Glass, on the other hand, is starting to get some killer reviews in. You can read all of them at Amazon.com, or go to the CFD home page here to read some snippets and get links to the originals (seriously, the originals are on some book blogs you should really check out). It’s garnered about 3.5 stars at Amazon so far — two 4-star reviews and one 3-star (Amazon’s rating system shows 3.5 to my eyes), which is much higher than I ever let myself expect. Special thanks to those who have reviewed it so far, and those who haven’t: what’s the hold up?! (Just kidding — take your time).
Anyways, need to run. Make sure to get your questions in for the mailbag for your chance to win a free digital copy of Like Glass — remember, it’s rated at 3.5 stars now!
Another Review of Like Glass Up!
Be sure to stop over by Lover of Books to check out the latest review for Like Glass (go straight to the review here)! Thanks for the great review!If I may once again be so bold as to steal a quote:
For a first novel, there is depth, emotion, and a story to tell whether in the past or the present. Janet, Lisa, and Rob have to deal with the now. The brother he knew seems to be such a good guy. Things are changing all the time and Rob has to figure out how to keep up. Mr. Cory keeps things light at times but there is healing that needs to be done.
First Review for Like Glass Is In!!!
Just wanted to post a quick note here: the Book Escape has just posted a review for Like Glass. Make sure you stop by and check it out: http://nbbaker1102.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/like-glass/!Thanks Nicole!
If I may be so bold as to steal a quote:
Overall, this is a love story. But, it doesn’t follow the typical love story formula. There are many twists and turns and it is quite intense, at times. The characters do some surprising things and that doesn’t stop until the conclusion.
