Although my writing guides are a pair of spirits named Heather and Henry, (Really, I discovered this when I went to a psychic this year.) I’m not referring to them this time around.

Instead, I’m talking about the wonderful and FREE on-line writers conference known as The Muse Online Writers Conference.

I’m presenting there on Thursday, October 6th about considerations for building a multi-volume fantasy series. I’m not sure whether it is too late to register, but for those already registered, please feel free to drop by. I am part of the great number of Crescent Moon Press authors hosting seminars throughout the week. Search for us under Crescent Moon Press.

Congratulations to John Marani for winning my contest from the fabulous Crescent Moon Press Memorial Day Blog Tour event. John, you win a gardening kit. I’ll contact you with shipping questions.

The scavenger hunt was loads of fun for myself and all of the other CMP authors and I hope everyone who sent in answers had a blast. Thank you for playing.

Crescent Moon Press Blog Tour! The Fun Continues Here…

Welcome to the continuation of the Crescent Moon Memorial Weekend Bash! This three day blog tour is wrapping up its final day, Thursday, May 26th. I’m Michelle Picard and I hope you enjoy taking a look around my virtual home to help you on your way to winning lots of cool prizes. The grand prize drawing for the blog hop is your choice of Nook or Kindle, so I’ll cross my fingers for you. If you’re joining the tour late, you can still win. Just visit the CMP blog for the list of all the participating authors and visit each site to face their quest challenges. Don’t worry, you have until the very end of the day to visit all the sites.

Below is the scavenger challenge from my site that will qualify you to win your very own gardening kit–just the thing to grow your own Garden of Eden. And because my novels are set in Eden, I’m always thrilled to encourage fellow gardeners to grow their own magic.

Steps to Quest Success:

1) Follow me on Twitter or friend me on Facebook.

2) Email me at michelle@michellepicard.com with the answer to this question: What are the seven magical races that Rachel (my heroine) leads? HINT–visit my books page on my website at www.michellepicard.com  and read the book blurbs to find the list.

3) Visit the next stop on the blog hop, the virtual home of the lovely Penelope Marzec www.penelopemarzec.blogspot.com. After Penelope there are just two more stops to go, with the last at the CMP blog itself. You’re almost there.

Good luck and thanks for playing!

Michelle

Visiting FF&P

I’m at the Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal chapter website of RWA today blogging about flat characters and what I do about them. What’s my short list of MUST KNOW information about my characters? Share your thoughts.

My friend Mia Marlowe has a friend Bonnie Vanak (who writes Egyptian-set historicals as well as wonderful Nocturnes!)who  alerted her to the plight of Harlequin author, Olivia Gates. Here’s the info from Bonnie’s blog:

As you know, protests are taking place in Egypt and the government has shut down internet communication. Author Olivia Gates, who lives in Egypt, has a February 1 release by Harlequin Desire called To Tempt a Sheikh. We’d like to get out the word about her book since Olivia cannot.

Let’s support an author who cannot access the internet to promote her book.

To Tempt a Sheikh by Olivia Gates

He rescued hostage Talia Burke from his royal family’s rival tribe and swept her into his strong embrace. But Prince Harres Aal Shalaan soon discovered there was more to the brave beauty than he knew. Talia held information vital to protecting his beloved kingdom…and she had every reason not to trust him.

Marooned together at a desert oasis, Talia couldn’t resist Harres. Yet even as his sizzling seduction entranced her, his loyalty to his family and country would always make them enemies. Falling for the sheikh would be her heart’s greatest mistake…but she feared it was already too late….

In stores February 1!

Available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Borders, Books A Million and bookstores everywhere. Also available at eharlequin both in print and as an ebook.

Life is Strange

I’ve blogged over at the Quirky Ladies this morning. I wish I could write in fiction with the same impact of the most riveting mystery of real life.
