I literally wanted curl up in a ball and cry. I have had <i>so</i> much rejection with this particular project. But I believe in it, and refuse to give up. I'm doing one more round of contests and agent queries and then I'm self publishing this thing.<br /><br />
I made a plan yesterday to send out 10 queries if I didn't get into PitchMadness--I am now turning this into a challenge for all writers (especially those who didn't get chose in the PitchMadness contest).<br /><br />
<h1>You have 24 hours to send out 10 queries</h1>
<br /><br />
<div id="tc_41596"><a title="#10QueryChallenge" href="http://www.tickcounter.com/countdown/20150302020000pm/w2320/1/%2310QueryChallenge_Time_Remaining">#10QueryChallenge</a> <a title="Countdown online" href="http://www.tickcounter.com">Countdown</a></div><script type="text/javascript">(function(){var s = document.createElement("script");s.src = "http://www.tickcounter.com/widget/countdown/20150302020000pm/w2320/1/41596/625/000000ffffff3b5998/%2310QueryChallenge_Time_Remaining";s.async = "async";s.type = "text/javascript";var x = document.getElementById("tc_41596");x.insertBefore(s,x.lastChild);}());</script>
<br /><br /><h1>If you can't do it 24 hours--Make a plan and comment here or Tweet it.</h1>
<br /><br />You can contact me here--or through <a href="https://twitter.com/KristaWayment">twitter</a> if you want to swap or need help finding agents. I already have my list ready to go and will be starting to send out shortly.
<br /><br />
<h1>Query Tips from a Non-Pro</h1>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Research the agent/agency on places like <a href="http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/">Absolute Write Water Cooler</a> and <a href="http://pred-ed.com/">Predators and Editors</a>. You want a <b>good</b> agent. (also a google search works well too)</li>
<li>Look up the submission guidelines and <i>follow them</i></li>
<li>Google the agent for tidbits that might help you stand out.</li>
<li>Remember that MOST agents don't accept attachments, paste extra material in the body of the email.</li>
<li>Have someone else read your query and submission materials.</li>
<li>Here's how to write a <a href="http://www.tickcounter.com/countdown/20150302020000pm/w2320/1/%2310QueryChallenge_Time_Remaining">One Page Synopsis</a></li>
<li>Double, Triple, Quadruple check for typos.</li>
</ul>
<br /><br />
<h1>Places to Find Agents</h1>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Google Search (my personal fav)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.agentquery.com/">Agent Query</a></li>
<li><a href="https://mswlparagraph.wordpress.com/">Manuscript Wish List</a> (also the twitter hashtag #MSWL)</li>
<li><a href="https://www.querytracker.net/">Query Tracker</a></li>
</ul>

<h1>About the Book</h1>
<br />
Rho has awakened. Its acolytes will tear worlds apart to release their deity from its prison. Any hope of Rho's defeat lies with two people lost in a strange universe. Kaden and Aren must learn to harness all their unique gifts if they are to rival the god of darkness reborn.
<br /><br />
They will not fight alone. A brilliant geneticist, a furry dwaro, two less than friendly elves, dragons, and a spunky red-haired computer stand with them. But if Kaden and Aren fail to reach their full potential, all of reality will be devoured until nothing remains but Rho.

<h1>About the Book</h1>
<br />
Sacrifice. The single act capable of bringing both death and life simultaneously.
<br /><br />
Thannuel Kerr is handsome, young and brash, fumbling through childhood toward his inevitable inheritance: the next Lord of the Western Province. He struggles to accept his arranged marriage and to grow into the man he must become. The journey toward that end, however, is fraught with more peril than he could possibly imagine. In the remote reaches of the Realm, an unknown, silent threat is growing. The Thoulden-sha of Mari-shaden is gathering his disciples, those who have relinquished their bloodlines to the Ancients and embraced Those Not Remembered, a forgotten race that inhabited Våleira long before the Age of the Ancients.
<br /><br />
As Thannuel learns more about his heritage, he begins to understand why powers that seem greater than anything the world of Våleira has ever seen are targeting him. As a young man, he and his beloved intended, Moira, will face assassination attempts, civil war, and foreign invasions that could tear the Realm—and Våleira itself—apart.
<br /><br />
Sacrifice. It is what the Thoulden-sha demands. It is what the world desperately needs. To save all he loves, Thannuel will be called upon to lay himself upon the Altar of Influence.
<br /><br />

But to do so, Parker and Kaelyn must heal broken friendships and unite an army of children who are brave enough to conquer their fears.

<h1>About the Book</h1>
<br />
Lands Die<br />
The Living Light Fades<br />
An Ancient Darkness Awakens<br />
<br />
The Living Light that sustains Arlethia is dwindling.
<br /><br />
An unknown, vicious enemy approaches in stealth from beyond the northern glaciers, a wasteland of ice that spans hundreds of miles. A clandestine brotherhood of assassins, held in check by the Light for millennia, seeks to break their maledictive shackles and unleash their bloodlust upon the world. Those that should stand with Arlethia clothe themselves in betrayal, desiring her secrets for themselves, leaving Arlethia to stand alone.
<br /><br />
The rebirthing of lands ceased decades ago. The world of Våleira is dying. Only Arlethia, the Western Province of the Realm, remains untainted by the Ancient Dark’s Influence.
<br /><br />
Reign, the young daughter of Arlethian Lord Thannuel Kerr, becomes entangled in a perilous web of deceit, greed, and assassination plots after witnessing something horrific, something that will destroy all she knows and loves. As threats culminate, she and her twin brother, Hedron, must battle demons on every side, both external and internal, to try and save Arlethia from extinction as they reach for their own personal redemption. But they have become pariahs to their own people. There will be few that dare to stand with them in the dimming Light…even fewer that will survive.
<br /><br />
The world of Våleira cannot endure without Arlethia. And the Living Light is fading…

<br /><br />
For my entry in the Something Wicked Blogfest I wanted to write about one of my favorite villains, the shadow from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wizard-Earthsea-The-Cycle/dp/0547773749">A Wizard of Earthsea</a> by Ursula K. Le Guin.
<br /><br />
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
<br /><br />The shadow in the book follows the main character Ged. He is responsible for its creation through an act of folly when he was young, reckless and arrogant. He runs from the shadow and attempts to hide from it well into adulthood. Until finally he decides to turn and face it. That is when he learns what the shadow really is. The dark side of himself.
<br /><br />
In order to defeat the shadow, Ged simply has to accept that it is a part of him and give it his name.
<br /><br />
That is why I think the shadow is one of the best villains. Because, let's face it: the most difficult enemy we face is the darker side of ourselves. We cannot remove it from being a part of us. It is always there. But we can accept it and conquer it to become the strongest version of ourselves.
<br /><br />
Along those same lines, one of my favorite books is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Taran-Wanderer-Chronicles-Prydain-Company/dp/0805080511">Taran Wanderer</a> by Lloyd Alexander.
<br /><br />
WARNING: MORE SPOILERS AHEAD
<br /><br />
In it, the main character (Taran) goes on a quest to find out what kind of man he is by finding his true heritage. What he learns instead is that it is not where you come from that makes you who you are--but the choices you make in your life.
<br /><br />
Here is a quote from A Wizard of Earthsea that I especially love:
<br /><br />
"Ged had neither lost nor won but, naming the shadow of his death with his own name, had made himself whole: a man: who, knowing his whole true self, cannot be used or possessed by any power other than himself, and whose life therefore is lived for life's sake and never in the service of ruin, or pain, or hatred, or the dark."Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10348921731053503531noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210845144949499297.post-31993530784443396432014-10-28T11:13:00.000-06:002014-10-28T11:13:16.849-06:00Cover Reveal: Endless by Jaclyn Weist<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<br /><br />
You can <a href="http://www.amazon.com/NIGHT-ONES-LEGACY-Gwen-Bristol-ebook/dp/B004YKVB3W">Buy it on Amazon now</a>
<br /><br />
<h1>About the Book</h1>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/813saq0HUwL._SL1500_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/813saq0HUwL._SL1500_.jpg" style="width: 50%;"/></a></div>
When Lily breaks the most serious law in her village, she unwittingly unleashes an army of Night Ones, fierce creatures who are rumored to eat children.
But as she struggles to make things right, she realizes that not every story she’s been told is true…
In order to save her people, Lily must find a stolen treasure, uncover the truth, and restore a lost emperor to his throne—and she has to do it before time runs out and thousands of innocent lives are lost.
THE NIGHT ONES LEGACY is a fantasy in which the heroine foils a plot to commit genocide on a suppressed minority race, discovers who she is and ultimately regains the family she thought she had lost forever.
<br /><br />

day, Monique tries very hard to enjoy<o:p></o:p></div>

the journey that is her life.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Twelve-year-old BFFs,
Ginnie West and Tillie Taylor, are matchmaking geniuses. Together, they
maneuvered Ginnie’s widower-dad into proposing to Tillie’s divorcee-mom. Sweet!
Certain they are well on their way to sisterhood, each girl is floored when
Tillie’s lousy-excuse-for-a-father puts in an appearance after a six year
absence. Too bad “lousy dad repellant” doesn’t come in a can. Even though
Tillie’s dad has sobered up and is determined to make amends, Tillie would rather he just disappear again. If he stays, “Operation:
Secret Sisters” may need to be renamed “Operation: Not Gonna Happen.” If that’s
not bad enough, the biggest bully in seventh grade comes over often and wishes
he could call the West’s farmhouse “home.” When the bully’s abusive dad shows
up as well, Ginnie thinks it’s time to change her family’s motto from “When
you’re here, you’re family” to “There’s no more room at the West’s.”</div>

mythology that Mikey has created to life. There is a sense of innocence,

Mikey provided some kind of description of the character that would inform the
choices I would make. Age, gender, body size/ shape. I imagine how the voices
sound when I am reading and do my best to apply those changes when I get in the
booth. I would like to think that all of the choices that I made were informed
by the text. I did my best to fully imagine what Mikey created and trust that
when he is satisfied with the result I have done my job. </span></div>

incredibly helpful. The fact that I am not in front of an audience doesn't make
a lot of a difference to me. The act of storytelling is the same no matter what
the medium. Many of the skills needed: articulation, breath support, vocal
flexibility, emotion (to highlight a few) all come into play when recording.
When you are in the booth you have to be hyper aware of every movement and
sound. Even though nobody can see what you look like, any extraneous movements
can cause sounds which can be picked up by the mic. It is essential to have the
physical and vocal awareness to keep those sounds to a minimum. At the same
time you can't allow that to keep you from bing expressive and energized when
telling the story. It can be a tricky balance sometimes. But the years of
training help to balance those factors.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I think
Gladamyr was the easiest to relate to, even though he is a Dream keeper. I love
the tortured heroes. Plus, Gladamyr's powers are the coolest! Many of my
favorite fantasy characters have been Shape-shifters or have had an ability
similar to Gladamyr. It probably appeals to the actor in me, being able to
shift and morph would be like the ultimate costume change.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Absolutely
terrifying. Probably something similar to Minion, a monster made from a swarm
of spiders. When I have nightmares they are the worst. I am usually being
chased by a dark formless, shifting shadow (not unlike Gladamyr now that I
think about it). There are always lost of teeth and it is fast; constantly
changing throughout the dream. The worst nightmares know when to change and get
worse when you think it can get any worse. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A friend
encouraged me to pursue it. He made the transition from actor to narrator full
time and thought I would also be good at it. So, he gave me the initial push. I
haven't been able to make that transition fully, though. I am still working and
audition for gigs in bother careers. As well as working at a coffee shop and
doing odd work as a ranch hand and landscaper to make ends meet. I am still at
the begging of my narrating career but what has prompted me to continue to
pursue it is the flexibility to create my own hours, work from home, and the
complete artistic control of the storytelling.</span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Mikey Brooks is
a small child masquerading as an adult. On occasion you’ll catch him dancing
the funky chicken, singing like a banshee, and pretending to have never grown
up. He is the author/illustrator of the best-selling middle-grade series <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Dream Keeper Chronicles</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Stone of Valhalla</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and The Gates of Atlantis: Battle for
Acropolis</i>. His picture books include the best-selling <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ABC Adventures: Magical Creatures</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bean’s Dragons</i>. His art can be seen in many forms from picture
books to full room murals. He loves to daydream with his three daughters and
explore the worlds that only the imagination of children can create. Mikey has
a BS degree in English from Utah State University and works full-time as a
freelance illustrator, cover designer, and author. As a member of the
Emblazoners, he is one of many authors devoted to ‘writing stories on the
hearts of children’ (</span><a href="http://www.emblazoners.com/"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">www.emblazoners.com</span></a><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">). You can find more about

<div style="line-height: 20px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There was absolutely no way a black dragon hovered outside of Newtimber. Sianna rubbed her eyes, but the dragon was still there, clutching a round object that looked like a spotted egg. And then the egg fell, hitting the ground like an atomic bomb, sending out waves of a slow-moving fog that distorted everything it touched.</span></div>
<div style="white; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The citizens of Newtimber change. The old man down the street stretches into a screaming tree. Sianna’s skateboarding friend, Matt, transforms into a giant green dragon. Pegasus. Sirens. Griffins. Vampires. Zombies. Creatures from the myths of every culture come to life through the people.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Even Sianna changes, her skin becoming stone hard, and she gains the ability to travel from the human realm into the dimension of the fae, using it to free her father from prison and enlist his aid in battling the evil bent on taking over the world.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Karen E. Hoover has loved the written word for as long as
she can remember. Her favorite memory of her dad is the time he spent with
Karen on his lap, telling her stories for hours on end. Her dad promised he
would have Karen reading on her own by the time she was four years old … and he
very nearly did. Karen took the gift of words her dad gave her and ran with it.
Since then, she’s written two novels and reams of poetry. Her head is fairly
popping with ideas, so she plans to write until she’s ninety-four or maybe even
a hundred and four.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Inspiration is found everywhere, but Karen’s heart is fueled
by her husband and two sons, the Rocky Mountains, her chronic addiction to pens
and paper, and the smell of her laser printer in the morning.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Krista asked me to talk a little about how Torn Canvas came about. This book is the second book in the Safe Harbors series, and Jori was a secondary character in the first book, A Change of Plans.<br />
<br />
Jori wasn’t in the first draft of that book. I wrote him in because I needed his character to serve a purpose—but it didn’t work. Then I had to decide if I should write him out.<br />
<br />
I couldn’t do it. So, of course, I had to write a book about him.<br />
<br />
Jori was a model before the cruise. Then he’s injured during a modern-day pirate attack that ends in death and shipwreck.<br />
<br />
So what happens to a man who has relied on his looks and suddenly becomes the stuff of nightmares? Huge character arc here because Jori was already broken inside. Now he has to face what his beauty used to hide.<br />
<br />
It was fun to craft the romance part of the story. Readers of A Change of Plans know Jori doesn’t meet Olivia until near the end of that book. Not in person anyway. <br />
<br />
I can thank Krista for the title of the book. We’re both part of the iWriteNetwork chat room. I was complaining because I couldn’t think of an appropriate title. She popped out with, “You should call it Torn Canvas or …” I hardly heard the rest.<br />
<br />
Jori had always wanted to be an artist. When he couldn’t be a model anymore, he had a chance to give art a try. I loved the double meaning of the title. Thanks, Krista!<br />

Not only does the twenty-four-year-old former model have to confront months of reconstructive surgery, he discovers his previous life was as superficial as his looks. Jori struggles to make a new life for himself as an artist while evading the press. They expect a hero, but he knows the truth. His beauty masks a beast.<br />
Olivia Howard’s given up a normal life for her job, and the sacrifices are finally paying off. The twenty-six-year-old talk-show host’s ratings are heading to the top of the charts. Her dream is to make a difference in people’s lives, but the studio wants mind fluff—like interviewing hot model Jori Virtanen. When Olivia learns the guy helped rescue passengers on a cruise excursion from kidnappers, she knows this is the story she needs to make her case. The only problem is the hero was injured, and now he’s disappeared.<br />
The more Olivia learns about the man behind the scar, the more intrigued she becomes. But Jori is no girl’s happily ever after. Once she finds him, Olivia has to free his heart and heal the beast.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div></div></blockquote><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21463980-torn-canvas?from_search=true" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3AKim50LaNfLjfp2rlrVhcwnJLNhAEphhHhqCqssawe5NMnOoGnXT149nXQP3G72sV4w6a6kcV67G6lYl28YSdyt7Q3z23wD1q8pDQpX8IOzylcror21fCdEygncVbi4DiJtoDyHX-YUB/s1600/AddtoGoodreads.png" /></a><br />
