How To Bring Your Book’s Setting To Life — K.M. Allan
When writing a book, plenty of effort goes into building our characters or working out our plots that sometimes the setting of your book world gets a little lost. This can happen if you’re afraid of bogging the reader down in too much detail, worried you’ll slow the pace by stopping to explain things, or […]
Ninjas!!!
Ninjas can be everywhere! I just finished reading this boo, Ninja School Mum by Lizzie Chantree.
From the author:
“Obsessive-compulsive school mum, Skye, is a lonely elite spy, who is running from her past whilst trying to protect the future of her child. She tries hard to fit in with the other parents at her son’s new school, but the only person who accepts her unconventional way of life is new mother, Thea.
Thea is feeling harassed by her sister and bored with her life, but she suspects that there is something strange about the new school mum, Skye. Thea has secrets of her own and, although the two become unlikely friends, she hesitates to tell Skye about the father of her own child.
Zack’s new business is growing faster than he could have dreamed but, suddenly, he finds himself the owner of a crumbling estate on the edge of a pretty village, and a single parent to a very demanding child. Could he make a go of things and give his daughter the life she deserved?
When three lives collide, it appears that only one of them is who they seem to be, and you never know who the person next to you in the school playground really is.”
My review:
“Ninja School Mum,” was a nice book to read and it mixes love into the fabric of a story that I’ve never read before. I liked the British way of using slang and I googled some slang just to sure of what the words meant to convey. The characters are strong and LUCAN made me ponder the USA’s CIA. It is understandable that the two main female leads want to help their child and niece in learning how to help their kids from being bullied by a classmate. I leave it to the reader to find this part out as well as how the rest is woven into place. Thank you Lizzie for a book with plot twists and a well woven mesh of mystery.
A Golden Era for Content Marketing — Nicholas C. Rossis
Content Marketing is a fancy word for promoting a product or service using web content–i.e. writing. Unlike, say, Influencer Marketing, which uses celebrities and other influencers to market a product, content marketing is exactly the sort of thing that we, writers, excel at. I realized how big a part in marketing it has become when […]

Originally posted on Uninspired Writers: This week I’ve been spending a lot of time on query letters. They’re an essential part of your pitch to an agent/publisher, because it’ll be their first impression on who you are, and what your book is about.
