Goodbye, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu… ending a book series

September 30, 2019 by Autumn Macarthur

I love writing books in series. I love seeing characters reappear in other stories. I love that characters who may not play a huge role in one book get to shine in their own. I love being able to have a series story thread that links books together. I love creating as many connections as […]

Author newsletters – welcome gifts and more!

August 23, 2019 by Autumn Macarthur

I hope you’re having a lovely August so far! One thing I’ve been thinking about lately is my reader newsletter, and how I can make it offer better value for my subscribers. I’d love to hear from you about what you like best in author newsletters. Many authors offer readers a welcome gift ebook – […]

Multi-author series – love ’em or loathe ’em?

July 23, 2019 by Autumn Macarthur

Happy July! I hope yours has been a good one, whether sweltering in summer or wrapping-up-warm in winter. Or somewhere in the middle like England, where the weather doesn’t seem able to make its mind up about the season! I realized recently that all my new books this year will be in multi-author series. Oops! […]

Bodyguards and scientists and cowboys? Oh my!

June 21, 2019 by Autumn Macarthur

Heroes! Gotta love them, and we can’t have romances without them! I recently asked my review team who their favorite character was out of all my books, and all the replies so far mentioned heroes. I didn’t expect that, but maybe I should have done! We all love our book boyfriends! There are so many […]

Love sees with the heart

May 23, 2019 by Autumn Macarthur

In reader groups, I’ve seen many readers complain that there are very few romances with less-than-model-perfect heroes and heroines. I’ve written a romance with a plus-sized heroine (Teapots & Tiaras), a highly unconventional heroine with a stuffy upper-class hero (Least Expected), an eighty-something heroine (Innamorata), and a couple of stories where the heroine needs a […]

If music be the food of love?

April 23, 2019 by Autumn Macarthur

Okay, I promise those of you who know the quote, I’m not going to misquote Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night! When Duke Orsino says If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die, he wants so much music played he gets sick of […]

Ask an author (almost) anything!

March 1, 2019 by Autumn Macarthur

If you’ve ever wanted to ask me a question about writing, my books, publishing, almost anything, here’s your chance! Okay, I confess. The weeks since my last post here seems to have disappeared sooooo fast, I actually had no idea what to post about this time! Well, I DID get an idea, thought “Oh, great, […]

Gemstone or pebble?

February 13, 2019 by Autumn Macarthur

About this time of year, many of us are thinking how we haven’t done so well with what we hoped or intended for the shiny new year! I didn’t make New Year’s Resolutions, but I did set some intentions. God also gave me a word for the year. This year’s is “discipline”. LOL, I’ve flunked […]

Help an author – download their free ebook!

January 14, 2019 by Autumn Macarthur

Free ebooks. Like them, or loathe them? Readers mostly seem to love them. As a reader, I do! Free books can feel like a gift from an author you know and enjoy, and a low risk way to discover new-to-you authors or start reading a new series. And for an author, there can be surprising […]

Christmas Gifts and Seasonal Blessings!

December 12, 2018 by Autumn Macarthur

We’re now well and truly into Advent, a wonderful season of anticipation. And of shopping, too! I love buying Christmas gifts, though it’s not always easy choosing just the right thing (hopefully!) for the people I love. Almost all my presents are now purchased, just wrapping and posting to do. Phew! Still all the Christmas […]
