Guest Post: Don’t Taint Your Author Brand by Brita Addams
Authors, are your sales down? Have you taken to social media to weigh in on the political war that’s raging? There may be a connection. As we’re all aware, a contentious political season is upon us. Facebook is full of prickly rhetoric, with posts aplenty to spark anything but civil discussion. And that brings me…
Guest Post and Giveaway: Redundancy Is Repetitive by Brita Addams
Redundant – characterized by verbosity or unnecessary repetition in expressing ideas. I’ve witnessed a great deal of bad grammar throughout this writing journey of mine, and marvel when I hear the same errors in everyday speech. A particular pet peeve is the piling on of intensifiers that turn a simple word into a poorly thought…

The Prose Speak: A Holiday Guest Post (and Gift) by Brita Addams
Well, it’s that time of year again. For some it’s Christmas (me too,) but it’s also a time of reflection. Every year has its share of sadness and joy, and 2015 was no exception. We had loss and health setbacks, but here it is nearly Christmas and we’re still here, slightly slump-shouldered, but standing. Here’s…
Guest Post: Beloved Unmasked by Brita Addams
Happy Fall! Those of you experiencing cooler temps, please send some south. While I have been relatively quiet on social media, I haven’t been idle. I’m pleased to say that my Tarnished series continues with a standalone spinoff, just released on October 16th. Beloved Unmasked takes place in New Orleans at the turn of the…
Here’s a Sneak Peek at the Coming Week!
Greetings from somewhere over the US, everyone! :) I’m flying home from San Diego right now—I’m sure GRL was a lot of laughs. Just a guess since I’m typing this before I’ve even left home, but let’s just go with it, shall we? Thanks so much for dropping in to see what we have in…
Release Day Spotlight: Beloved Unmasked by Brita Addams
Brita Addams’ Beloved Unmasked is a story of second chances set against the backdrop of a bygone New Orleans where Storyville—the city’s former red light district—flourished with legalized prostitution and a regulated drug trade. NOLA herself is a character in this book, as it is in nearly every book I’ve ever read set in this…
Guest Post: Don’t Be Offended by History by Brita Addams
My writing often requires I research the obscure as well as the blatant. I’m also an amateur genealogist of over twenty years, so I’ve dug into many a family history, including a thorough, if incomplete exploration of my own. You’re never done. I’ve learned how people lived and died over many centuries, discovered things I’m…

Guest Post: The Newbie Blues by Brita Addams
As I approach my sixth year as a published author, I’ve thought a lot about the things I’ve learned and the growing pains of being a newbie. And yes, I was president of the club. We all feed from the same trough in the beginning, until we learn to eat from the table of knowledge….

Guest Post: Beneath the Surface – Caitlin Jenner – by Brita Addams
On April 24, 2015, I, like millions of people, watched Bruce Jenner’s interview with Diane Sawyer. I’d heard the rumors about his desire to transition to a woman, and I wanted to hear what he had to say, rather than getting the information tabloid style. Over the years, like all of us, Bruce had aged,…

Guest Post: Change Is Good by Brita Addams
I’ve written every book from on our sofa, surrounded by my mountain of index cards on the middle cushion and end table, and files stacked on the back of the sofa. I loved my space, save for the resultant mess, but the comfort provided all the excuse I needed, until back problems developed, making that…

Monday – Kicking off…
Guest Post and Excerpt: Tarnished Souls by Brita Addams
Much has happened personally this last month, including older daughter’s brain surgery and an unexpected visit from my beloved sister due to a death in her friend’s family. Our daughter is fine and hopefully on the way to a recovery sans horrific headaches which have plagued her for the last couple of years. Needless to…

Guest Post by Brita Addams: Promotion Help – Did I Mention It’s Free?
Promotion is a never-ending job for authors, but I have a great avenue for all my author friends. Are you a member of Marketing for Romance Writers? If not, you are missing out on a great avenue of promotion. I’m a newbie myself, but this week, they did a Tweet Fest and my notifications didn’t…
