This week’s Behind The Book guest blogger
This week’s guest blogger will be Anna Louise Lucia.
I’ve known the very talented, funny, and extremely gracious Anna (cyberwise) for several years now, from back in the days when eharl was a tightly-knit community with only a few message boards.
A large number of my writing friends come from that time (Cat Brown of Romance Junkies, Amie Stuart, Sasha White, Raine Weaver, Dee Tenorio, Julie Cohen, Sela Carsen, Linda Winfree, and Kat Glover (who’s working on my website) just to name a few.
There’s a reason why I suspect many–if not all–of those names ring a bell; they’re a group of very talented ladies who were (are) very generous with sharing any writing/publication knowledge (or experience) they might have come across with the rest of eharl group.
We’ve drifted to different online communities, writing for different publishers, but we managed to keep in touch, so you can just imagine how THRILLED I was to hear Anna sold! She’d been >thisclose< on several occasions with Harl/Sil but in the end her debut romantic suspense RUN AMONG THORNS came out this week with Medallion Press.
Anna has an awesome command of the language and her descriptive passages re setting, emotion, and action are sure to knock your socks off. You can check some excerpts here.
So come back on Wednesday and join the Southern Fried Chica when Anna comes by to guest host.




I’m looking forward to it, Vanessa!
And while I’m here, I must use this emoticon - which is just how I am at the moment!
It’s a great post, Anna, with some great advice! Congrats, again, luv.
