HaPpY BirTHdaY to IWSG!!!

Thank you to our awesome co-hosts 
for the September 6 posting of the IWSG: 

September 6 question - The IWSG celebrates 12 years today! When did you discover the IWSG, how do you connect, and how has it helped you?

Doing my math here: 2023 - 2011= 12 years. My first book came out in  2011, so I may have joined in 2012. I kept seeing IWSG popping up on my laptop on what I would assume was my social media, so someone I knew belonged to the group, but I cannot recall who that person would have been. Maybe someone in my publishing house? 

When I figured out SG stood for Support Group, I jumped in to see what this first Wednesday of the month blog post was all about. I really, really, really needed support. And did I ever find it from such a generous group of bloggers/writers. 

I was in the retail flower business for 20 years. My small town had 3 floral shops. Yes, 3! I looked at them as our competition, not friends. But on IWSG, the authors had no competitive attitudes at all. Everyone supported their fellow author even if they wrote the same genre. I was surprised and delighted to find friends among the group.

I think IWSG contributed to my drive to write stories and to publish them. Writing is a lonely game. I felt a part of a group at IWSG, no longer drowning in a sea of publishing mania. I found my life-savers. Thank you!

I am thrilled to welcome L. Diane Wolfe to our Recipe and Reads series on Wednesday, September 20. We'll be celebrating her latest release, In Darkness: The Werewolf. Plus, Diane shares a pizza recipe with a bit of a twist and the reason why she chose this particular one. 

In Darkness: The Werewolf
by L. Diane Wolfe

On her own in England, Vicki trains at a prestigious fencing school. Face marred by a birthmark, she’s suspicious of Nicholas’ attention. A dinner date reveals his genuine interest and they begin to connect. Nicholas is attractive and she wonders why he’s so shy and reclusive.

Then one evening she happens upon him changing into a lycan. Every werewolf legend is shattered by the gentle, fearful creature before her. Vickie accepts his secret, but Nicholas knows he’s an unpredictable beast. Can they trust love enough to overcome their physical challenges?

Congratulations, Diane on this new release! Love the premise of this book.
