Darynda Jones: First Grave on the RightPosted by Shea Berkley Feb 1 2011, 12:01 am in Darynda Jones, First Grave on the Right, publishing, Shea Berkley
Today is release day for Darynda Jones’s debut novel, First Grave on the Right!! We’re here to celebrate with virtual applause and confetti, and find out all about Darynda and what makes her tick. Darynda and I have known each other for years. We belong to the same RWA chapter and have exchanged stories a few times. Nothing earth shattering, just the random, “Does this suck?” Mine? “Yes.” Hers? “Heck no!” *Shea seems to be “projecting” here, as she can write me under the table on her worst day. Blindfolded. With her hands tied behind her back. Oh, if that were only the case. (sigh) I’ve been lucky enough to read First Grave on the Right and loved it. I’m cross-my-heart-hope-to-die excited about Darynda’s book – I shall love it and pet it and call it my own, the cover is that pretty – and I’m equally excited about this interview, so let’s not waste any more time!

Yep, if anyone has noticed, I’ve been absent from the sisterhood blog. (Did anyone notice? Anyone? Okay, I’m going to pretend you all did ‘cause I’m into deluding myself like that.) I had the honor of teaching a writing class for Writers Online Classes for the month of April. I had a great [...] You Complete Me: A Guide for Agent HuntingPosted by Shea Berkley Apr 1 2010, 12:49 am in agent hunt, agents, helpful links, submission tips About 10% of you got the Call! You’re a Golden Heart Finalist! Congratulations! But even if you didn’t get the call and you think your baby is ready to enter the big, wide world of publication, you may be asking yourself … What’s next? Free-For-All FridayPosted by Shea Berkley Feb 12 2010, 12:00 am in Free-For-All Friday It’s Friday. The day we sit back, scratch our heads and wonder if our story is on track. Okay.

Shea Berkley has seduced men, fought vampires, boxed Irish mobsters, invaded siren waters, ran a covert military mission in the jungles of South America, killed evil Fae and far more on her journey as a storyteller. The world of make-believe is her preferred hang out, but when she's forced to associate with reality, she has been known to speak to writers' groups and mentor those interested in honing their writing craft. As a reward for her hours and hours of fun, she has finaled in RWA's prestigious Golden Heart contest (2006, 2009 and 2010) and several other contests. She writes primarily women's fiction and young adult fiction as her large and noisy family runs wild, terrorizing the neighbors.
