Lost In The Crowd…But Not For Long

Lost In The Crowd…But Not For Long

By LK Gardner-Griffie on December 7, 2011

Those who know me mostly see the upbeat, almost to the point of perky, side of me. I’m everybody’s cheerleader in a business which is rife with rejection and disappointment — at ALL levels.

Tattered Cover Reveal

Tattered Cover Reveal

By LK Gardner-Griffie on November 7, 2011

I am very excited to have a cover for the third book in the Misfit McCabe series, Tattered, for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that I love the cover. And secondly, it means the release of Tattered can’t be far behind.

Tour of Secrets Contest

Tour of Secrets Contest

By LK Gardner-Griffie on August 26, 2011

I love book releases. There is something special about all of the efforts the author made finally coming together and having them share their inspiration with the world. And the release of a debut novel is even more special. Knowing the writer is finally seeing the end product and is sharing something so intimate with the world for the first time. Because the book writing process is an intimate one and I know from personal experience, the blood, sweat, and tears that go into the process.

Writing Challenges

Writing Challenges

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 8, 2011

Sometimes writing a particular story gives us challenges. What am I saying? In every story I’ve ever written, I’ve faced one challenge or another on the way to completion. This is a good thing. With each challenge, I learn something in getting over the hurdle.

Good Grief, Charlie  Brown

Good Grief, Charlie Brown

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 5, 2011

I just finished writing a rough (and I mean very rough) synopsis of No Boundaries and in the middle of it, I realized Good Grief!! I packed a lot of crap stuff in this book!!!

A Perception of Young Adult Fiction

A Perception of Young Adult Fiction

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 22, 2011

Today was errand day, as is my usual Saturday. But I added an additional stop to my normal Saturday running around; a beauty supply place.

And All Because of Toilet Paper

And All Because of Toilet Paper

By LK Gardner-Griffie on January 14, 2011

I’ve been having a bit of an off week… you know the kind. Nothing really wrong, but not feeling quite 100%, the day job a little tough to take. Yet there were bright spots to the week, like getting a text message from my friends Drew and Branli about getting together for coffee as they passed by my workplace. So not all bad, not all good, just not feeling quite myself.

The Love Hate Relationship

The Love Hate Relationship

By LK Gardner-Griffie on December 2, 2010

I have a love / hate relationship with my editing software. I go through and do all of my edits, do a read through, and when I think things are in good shape, I bring out the evil editing software. I call it evil S.

Don’t Buy My Books

Don’t Buy My Books

By LK Gardner-Griffie on November 10, 2010

This is how I felt when I heard this morning that Amazon.com had a book available for sale on Kindle that goes against the grain of moral and ethical decency.

The Downhill Slide

The Downhill Slide

By LK Gardner-Griffie on November 7, 2010

There comes a point in during the creation phase of a book when you hit the downhill slide. The point where you are getting close to your ideal word count goal… when you know where the book is headed and all you have to do is reach the finish line.
