Attention Bargain Shoppers! eBook Sale!

I LOVE IT! MY PUBLISHER IS GIVING READERS A BREAK! Some of you might remember that my book, An Uncommon Grace, was one of three finalists (out of several hundred entries by published authors) in the Carol Awards last month. The good news is–my publisher informs me they are only charging $1.99 for the ebook from now until October 25th. (Instead of the $10-$15 they usually charge.) These chilly fall days could be a perfect time for cozying up with a cup of cocoa, a quilt, and a bargain copy of An Uncommon Grace. ENJOY! -Serena Locations to grab a copy!

Writer Friends

One of the things that impressed me most when I joined Romance Writer’s Of America, was the support and encouragement women writers give other women writers. A seasoned author who has helped me enormously is Emilie Richards. One day, I had reached the point as a wanna-be writer where I decided to quit. Getting published, I decided, was just too hard. When Emilie heard this, she basically threw an e-mail fit and threatened to drive to my house from her home in Virginia and personally drag one of my unpublished manuscripts from beneath my bed and send it in to a publisher. I remember thinking two things: 1) Emilie did not make empty threats and 2) I did NOT want her crawling beneath my bed among all the dust bunnies. I promised her I’d stay in the game, and I signed a contract with a publisher soon afterward. Emilie is one of my favorite people in the world and one of my favorite authors. It’s an honor to have my latest book featured on her website today. Blackberry Moon featured on Emilie’s website

Day eighteen: (10-5) movie set of LFY Sugarcreek Ohio (Final Day)

Serena Love Finds You in Sugarcreek, Ohio (film) 6

Our grandbaby chose to ignore her delivery date after all, and so our family continues to wait with bated breath for this precious little girl to arrive. My son and daughter-in-law have wisely chosen not to share her name with anyone until she gets here (we are an opinionated bunch, and they are worried there will never be a consensus) and so we continue to call her “Twinkle-Toes” the nickname my husband gave her after seeing an ultra-sound where she was wiggling her little feet. In Sugarcreek, the bank robbery scene is being filmed. One of the local banks has been kind enough to allow the crew to film there. It is interesting to me that the last scene filmed will be the first one movie-goers will see. As a writer, I have the luxury of describing in as many words as I need, a characters’ back story and thoughts. But the director and actors must “show” everything. An emotion I can describe in depth, must be shown, in milliseconds, on an actor’s face. My heroine Rachel’s back story–the day her daddy gets shot and she stops being a little girl–has to be shown, not told. It is to be […]
