Favorite Writing #IWSG πŸ“šπŸ’™ an Email Scam and Banned Books


Shout-out to Alex and the awesome co-hosts for today: Beth Camp, Crystal Collier, and Cathrina Constantine!


Oct 1 question - What is the most favorite thing you have written, published or not? And why?



I still love my (Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Myths and Legends, Speculative Fiction, New Adult, "Superhero Fantasy") Existence series, the first of which is Fractions of Existence. I still get giddy on the rereads at certain scenes. (My favorite being when Xavier and Wend are at the pier.)

  1. I was thinking if they were going to charge for it, yes it's a scam - and they do! Never pay for stuff like that.

  2. Yes, it sounds like a scam. I've been getting lots of scam emails offering to help me promote my nonexistent book.

  3. Goodness, people are crazy! Yeah, scam 100%. You know, urban fantasy used to be my go-to genre. Still quite fond of it.
