Hi all, You may have noticed that we have not put out any new releases in March. That was because I was off for a few weeks visiting the US, where I got to meet two of my very long-time authors: Robert Beers and Will Greenway and two of my cover artists: Laura Shinn and Josh Shinn and catch up with our editor and print formatter (my daughter) Jenna Cummins. It was great, they are all as wonderful in person as I had expected from our long-time email communications. Below are some photos taken during the trip of my meeting the staff. I don’t yet have the one with me,…

Hi everyone! It has been a while since I have updated the Writers Exchange blog, I have to admit, I am not too good as a blogger:) But I am hoping to change that. So I thought I’d start by updating you all on a few things coming up in 2014 that I know about currently. I would also like to create a bit more community around Writers Exchange, so if anyone has some suggestions on how they would like to do this, please comment on this post. We have two large series that are getting a complete overhaul at the moment, new covers, fresh edits, restructuring etc. The first…

I realised this morning that Writers Exchange E-Publishing has been going 14 years this month! I hadn’t even thought about it, but a couple of people congratulated me on LinkedIn, it must be in my profile… I really want to thank Will Greenway and Victoria Heckman for staying with me all these years – you guys were the first two authors I ever signed up! Rounding out the VERY early authors who are still in our ranks we have Lauralee Bliss, Michelle Levigne and Mrs Mouse (Chris Williamson). We do have a lot of others who came on board in the first year, but these were our earliest:) We would…

Wow, what a few months we have had! As you know from earlier news posts we have been updating all our books to the latest formatting. We have been replacing a lot of covers while doing this, and updating bios to have our authors’ latest books included, PLUS other books in their genres by other WEE authors! Because of all this our new releases have suffered a bit, but the end is in sight! Other than books that need new covers or have minor erratas being done to them, I am down to 29 books to go! I still have to do these around our new releases, so perhaps we’ll…

Reviews: 5 Stars! “Highly recommended new book to bring your novel writing ‘ALIVE‘! Karen S. Wiesner has yet again written a stellar book for writers at all stages looking for new energy in their storytelling with CPR for Dead or Lifeless Fiction: A Writer’s Guide to Deep and Multi-Faceted Development of Characters, Plots, and Relationships (Writers Exchange Publishing, 2020). Every paragraph teems with good points to savor and use in planning a novel or revising a manuscript-or even resuscitating an author’s career if a series becomes stale. The list of ten ways to spot dead or lifeless characters, plots, and relationships is a book within a book and priceless. I…

Top Reviews: 5 Stars! As usual, Karen Wiesner draws her readers right in and doesn’t let go. I have no idea how she always manages to handle a complex plot and such a huge cast of characters. It’s totally jaw-dropping! I love the way the characters develop. All the descriptions are vivid, the interactions between the human and alien cultures are fascinating. This would make an amazing TV series because it has the right mix of suspense, romance and special effects. I for sure would binge-watch it! ~Author Christine Spindler http://www.christinespindler.com/ 4 ½ Stars! Main and secondary characters return and are accompanied by new characters in this episode of…

Top Reviews: 5 Stars! IMMUTABLE, Book 1: Arrow of Time Chronicles by Karen Wiesner is one of the most unique, creative, and captivating stories I have read in a long time. I can’t wait for Book 2. The galactic world she has created is so multilayered that I can easily visualize it as a series or movie. The plot has ongoing surprising twists and turns that keep you guessing as a reader and startling you with new possibilities. At the heartbeat are the themes and characters struggling with good and evil, love and rejection, broken dreams and hope; ends, new beginnings, and the unfathomable unknown cloaked in extreme danger. Get…

Amazon Reviews: 5.0 out of 5 stars Writer Wendy Laing has taken an actual lighthouse where she has been a guest at the lighthouse keeper’s cottage: The Cape Otway in Victoria, Australia as the starting point for her nicely wrought tale, and she has woven an entertaining book of eight chapters for early readers. Through the magic of a time tunnel children Aaron and Gracie Brandon are taken to a long ago time where they meet a marvelous old Scottish sea captain’s ghost. The pair had been less than enthralled while vacationing with their parents to discover the old lighthouse where they are staying has no video games…

Amazon Reviews: 5.0 out of 5 stars Things get complicated... As the bad guys get more desperate, the fights get bigger and more apocalyptic, is there even a chance they will survive this onslaught? And how do you hide thrashings like this with all the politic enemies that are eager to represent outside help as unwanted meddling and worse? Kindle Customer 5.0 out of 5 stars Another great read Bannor is really turning into a powerhouse. I love that he is still overshadowed by more powerful characters, but still manages to play a pivotal role. He always seems to pull out a new trick. Love the melding of tech and mythology.…

Amazon Reviews 4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth a read After a rather slow start, the book got better and better. I will definitely look out for the next in the series. Problems with the copy-editing prevent me giving 5 stars. There were random question marks in little boxes scattered throughout the ebook text, which I found distracting. Also felt it got a little bogged down when the same event was told from different character’s viewpoints. This felt unnecessarily repetitive, and could have been shortened. Not to be faulted on characterisation and research into the period. Amazon Customer 5.0 out of 5 stars The lead up to…

Amazon Reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Romance! I enjoyed reading Regina Andrews’ outstanding debut novel, Light of the Heart, in her Sterling Lakes Series about the talented stained glass artist Cascade Preston and project manager Dan McQuay. Andrews has created wonderful characters and a lively, interesting plot in Book One. Cascade’s unhappy childhood gave her a strong reason for not wanting to return to Sterling Lakes to design and make stained glass windows for St. Luke’s Church. Fortunately, her cousin and employee, Abby, turns a bid in for the job and forges Cascade’s name. Abby realizes Cascade needs to face her past, even though it will…

Amazon Reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars Mark one up for the good guys! This is a very fast moving, plot twisting, edge of the seat sort of read. Woodruff skillfully leads the reader through a chilling and ever-so-real crime story scripted in a contemporary setting of America’s northern heartland. The characterizations, the situations, the author’s style, all casually center the reader amidst masterfully foreshadowed and dangerously developing circumstances. Though a rich palette of schemes and themes brilliantly develop, full and complete resolution of many interwoven and layered curiosities are settled. This is a riveting novel of fear, courage, determination, triumph, thugs, creeps, cops, heros and yes love.…

Top Reviews I give this novel ****1/2 out of five stars. A funny thing happened to me while I was reading Ghost of a Chance by Dee Lloyd. You see, I don’t read romance novels–it’s not that I don’t respect them, and it’s not that I don’t know that it has been, and remains, one of the most popular fiction genres out there–it’s just that I never got around to reading one. What I know of romance came pretty much from the front covers of the “bodice rippers” my mother used to read back when I was a kid which showed well-endowed young women swooning into the arms of…

Reviews: 5 Stars! “Dee Lloyd is gifted with more than mere writing talent. She can see into people, love them just the same, and put that all together with skilled words. A charming read.” ~ Buzzy for Buzz Review News 5 Angels! …Mine by Dee Lloyd sure is one of those books where you wish it were a movie because of all the action and suspense in this one story. I mean from the beginning you have the suspense with someone killing George then you have Cadie’s return that brings in more action, not to mention a gorgeous ex-detective Marc Banachek. Here is a man, who becomes a writer…

Top Amazon Reviews: 5.0 out of 5 stars Psychological thriller to keep you reading on. One serial killer would make an interesting read, but two, and from the opposite sides of the world. Fascinating scenario with a doctor on a mad mission, from Australia, and a rejected lover in the USA. Intriguing from beginning to end. Amazon Customer 2.0 out of 5 stars Too violent and disturbing Carol Bradford 5.0 out of 5 stars Gruesome and Compelling – Highly recommended Max Overton’s graphic paranormal thriller, A Cry of Shadows, is one of those books that I loved, and was compelled to obsessively read late into the night, and devoured every…
