Authors – why you shouldn’t ignore bad reviews #wwwblogs #bookreviews
A very interesting post by Alison Williams on bad reviews. If a lower rated review gives helpful, constructive criticism then pay attention to what it has to say. But nasty, silly, or malicious reviews should always be ignored.

The Yak Guy Project, on #LisaBurtonRadio
A wonderful opportunity to be interviewed via Lisa Burton Radio. Pop over to Craig’s blog to find out more.
Welcome all you lost wanderers, and those without purpose. You’ve found Lisa Burton Radio, the only show that brings you the characters from the books you love. Except for this week, that is.
This week you get me, talking about Craig’s book, The Yak Guy Project. I’ve run out of guests right now, and want to keep the slot open for everyone.
It’s okay though, I was there through the writing of this whole story. I can wing it enough to pull this off. As an example, see this poster.
It’s about this rotten kid, who leeches off his friends, and brings nothing to the table. At the beginning of the book he wakes up having been dumped in the desert. Guess people grew tired of his crap.
He gets rescued by a talking yak, but the whole thing is a setup. He’s been relocated to an alternate reality, and…

Guest author: Anita Dawes ~ Days Like That
Wonderfully inspiring guest post by Anita Dawes at Sue Vincent’s blog. It is never too late to follow a dream.
I don’t know what I want any more.
I think it’s whatever I am doing at the time, be it watching tv or reading a book but I might as well be reading it upside down for all the good it is doing me.
I want to be everywhere at once, doing ten things at the same time. It doesn’t matter where I am, indoors or outside, nothing holds my mind for longer than five minutes.
There are days when I would like to be someone other than me. Someone who can sing and dance or stay out late at night. At the same time, I know it’s not going to satisfy my wanting for long. My mind is fragmented and there seems to be multiple parts of myself.
Maybe it is old age, thinking about things you could have done, or wish you had done?
Thank God these days…

Elusive realities: M. J. Mallon ~ Strange encounters
Thank you so much to Sue Vincent for featuring me in her Elusive realities and strange encounters series. Perhaps you might be interested in being a guest too?
We were chatting in the kitchen at the time. Through the window I glanced to the right and I saw a momentary striking image, an indeterminate shadow of black and white twirling, pirouetting on the spot. My eyes couldn’t keep up with the speed of this strange sighting and within seconds it was gone.
I know what you might be thinking. Is she crazy? Did she imagine it? Had she been drinking?
An emphatic ‘No,’ to each of these!
I swear that I saw it and I wasn’t the only one to do so. I have witnesses. My two daughters were in the kitchen with me and they noticed it too and even more extraordinary my daughter’s boyfriend (at the time,) has seen it as well.
These sightings were so extraordinary that I wrote this passage in my novel.
