The slit represents open paper because when I write, I give my all!

Very Rainy May Afternoon

Thinking outside the box with Limelight Publishing

Book Expo and Book Con next week!

Being hosted by Lulu Publishing once again for the incredible Book Expo America and Book Con, was a dream. No wait, it was better than a dream! It was a rel life unforgettable experience I will never forget!
 
Thank you to the fans who told me they would come and did. To all the fellow authors who praised me and showed support for my chosen craft. Thank you to everyone who walked up to the table with a bright smile and friendly handshake. Thank you to all the people I met before, and after the shows, who have sent messages, liked posts, followed my social media, and bought books.
 
And a HUGE humble Thank you to the Lulu staff for making this possible.
 
I love writing. I will always be a writer, no matter how much recognition I get. But to be supported in this way deserves words of thanks that have not been invented yet.
 
The Lulu team have been behind me from day one. And without them, while I would have continued to write, I would not be where I am today.
 
The BEA and Book Con are two days for me that make me feel accomplished and proud of myself. I can look at these photos on my challenging personal days and know that everything is actually alright.
 
When I was a child, my mother used to always tell me that I should have a few days of something, that I can look forward to. That it is important, necessary, and vital to inner strength, and peace. She was right. And for me, these are those days.

Write Publish Repeat,  by Lynette Greenfield

What happens when you write half a book, then decide to scrap it?

Interview with Tyler Greenfield - Limelight Publishing

Today, I had the opportunity to sit with Avril Swanson, to talk about my book, The Night Birds.  Avril is my mother, and she is portrayed as a character in the book.  It was interesting to talk to her about her view on the story and her unique perspective, as a woman and as my mother. 

The Night Birds is a story about finding balance.  Syden is a young girl who suffers from migraines and through her pain management, she cannot decipher what is real and what is not. When her father suddenly dies, nothing in her life seems logical and when she decides to leave her home town, figuring out life on her own, seems impossible because she is slowly going insane. 

But what if you don’t know you were sick?  How does one measure illness against the rest of society?

With many twists and turns, emotional ups and downs, The Night Birds takes you on a deeply emotional journey.  Avril, my mother, opens up about her own experiences and we talk about how our relationship is portrayed in this novel, reflecting on our friendship now.   I am deeply appreciative of my mother taking the time to chat with me, for her acceptance of my artistic expression of our past, and a willingness to move forward with me, with love and acceptance.

A discussion with Avril Swanson about my book, The Night Birds

One of the ways I write, is with the ending first. And there are many reasons for this.  This technique has developed over a long period of time and works for me. It may not work for you, but consider the following reasons why you might want to consider doing it!

Why do I write the ending of my novels first?

This page is about writing, publishing, and everything in between.  Here, I discuss everything I know, new book announcements, tips and tricks to get YOU published, and challenges I face in my own writing path and literary career. I hope I can draw on all my knowledge and wisdom to help you on your own path and fulfill your own dreams of writing a book!
