Friends
When you get an agent or editor should you tell them about a friend’s work? As J.A. Konrath says, ‘writers should help other writers.’ I totally agree with this. I did this for a friend that feels like a sister to me. I believe in her work and if I can help someone so dear to me than I’m happy too. Would every writer do this for another writer they believed in? I don’t know but it would be nice if they did.
I talked to my agent today. She is such a great woman and she has some changes that she wanted me to make and I think that it will make my book better. I value her input more than anything. I may not be around very much because I intend to be finished with Storm of Magick in six weeks. It will be a tight schedule but I want it done.

I think friends should help each other out - whether those friends be writers or not. Now, I wouldn't recommend an author friend the instant I got an agent, but I would definitely mention said friend to the agent.
Good luck with Storm of Magic! Progress and goals are good things.
Thanks I think that I'm going to need it.
Hey - just noticed the new "contests" section on the website. Any hints as to what might be going in there?
I was thinking that a fan can answer a question from the first book and win. What do they win you ask? Well to be a minor character the next book.
They can be a vashon or a lycanthrop or even a witch. I use the first name and description in the book. I got the idea from JA Konrath about the name.
Good luck with Storm of Magick!
Thanks Mel.
Sounds pretty cool!
