Women Crush Wednesday: Missy

written by Betsy Flak on 2017-09-20

Previous WCW: Scarlet Benoit, The Lunar Chronicles (book series)

This week: Missy, Doctor Who (TV series)

Let it be known that I'm a Doctor Who fan. Maybe not a *huge* Doctor Who fan because, let's face it, there are some absolutely monstrous Doctor Who fans out there, but a fan nonetheless.

Motivation Monday

This week, I'm starting something new...Motivation Monday!

Being a new writer hasn't been easy. I mean, sure it's my "If I had a million dollars" job, which is great. But that doesn't mean it's always easy. It doesn't mean I don't get frustrated. It doesn't mean I don't sometimes wonder if maybe I shouldn't have chosen this path after all.

During times like those, I look at quotes or listen to a song or even sneak a quick peek at a favorite scene from a movie or TV show. Essentially, I've got my own private pool of motivation that I dip into from time to time.

And now I'm going to share it with you! Every Monday, I'll share a new quote that helps motivate me when I'm feeling down and/or discouraged. I hope it will help you too. :)

More Reviews = More Free Books

written by Betsy Flak on 2017-08-07

The ratings and reviews for The Unleashed Creation are so sad and lonely. As of the end of July, there were only four of them on Amazon, eight on Goodreads, and none anywhere else!

I'd like them to have a few more friends. So, for every 5 new reviews* of The Unleashed Creation during the month of August, I'll give away 1 FREE copy of The Impossible Creation (the next book in the series) to a lucky Troupe member** in September. This number includes reviews that are copied and pasted onto multiple sites (ex: if you post a review on Amazon, Goodreads, and iBooks, that counts as 3 new reviews, not just 1). So that's:
