Rating: 5 Cups

Have you ever wondered where a writer’s muse comes from? It is an age old question you might not want the answer to. Olivia is a Recorder, whatever that is, and a crazy, sexy man has declared himself her Watcher.

Olivia is unsure she wants to believe the truth. Gage’s declarations seem so far beyond reality but when her gram starts talking about the same thing she is forced to realize it is her reality and she has pissed off her muse.

Olivia comes to understand she cannot hide from who she is and what Gage is to her; though he has become much more than her Watcher. Pissing of her muse leads her and Gage down a path she is unsure they will survive, but she is determined her story will end differently than that of her ancestors.

All I can say about Evil Speaks Softly is wow. From the very first page I was intrigued by the unusual story line. After all, muses are what people speak of when it comes to writing but Ms. Bonatch puts an insane spin on the writer’s muse. I love the relationship between Gage and Olivia because though the connection is immediate it grows at a more natural rate. I fell in love with this book and the writing of Ms. Bonatch; she has converted me to a reader who will dabble in the scary from time to time. I highly recommend Evil Speaks Softly though if you have a muse it may make you wonder if the voice is really in your head.

AI & Seasonal Marketing Note from Dee #PMInc
Book Marketing is this… People need to remember your name… Not the title of your newest book, well at least not just the title alone.

Join NY Times Best Selling #author @angela.knight.7161 for Master Class: Spells of the Heart: Editing Your Romance for Maximum Magic Nov 11-Dec 18 https://bit.ly/AKMasterClass #writing #class

You’ve just typed The End. Sigh! You’re done…

Not so fast. You can be absolutely sure that somewhere in that stack of pages are: embarrassing plot holes; limp love scenes; sentences that clank instead of ring; conflicts that go nowhere; colorless cardboard characters; and fight scenes with absolutely no punch.

But don’t despair. That, my dear romance novelists, is why God made rewrites.

In this month-long online class, New York Times bestselling author Angela Knight will demonstrate how to excavate the outstanding book buried under layers of dreck. She’ll cover everything from finding and plugging logic holes to transforming a dull love scene into something that will make your reader’s toes twitch.

What’s more, you’ll be able to email your work to Angela for private critique and help figuring out how to fix problematic scenes.

Topics include:

Introduction -- What the class will cover
More than Storytelling -- A terrific story does you no good if your writing is limp, confusing or so illogical you break your reader’s suspension of disbelief. This lesson will explore why rewrites are crucial to excavating and polishing your gem of a story.
Merciless reading -- Spotting problem scenes and deciding on a solution.
Hunting Holes -- Plugging pesky plot holes. “Oh, my God, this makes no sense! How am I going to fix this without throwing out the book?”
Razor Blade Fangs -- Using emotion to give a dull scene big, sharp, pointy teeth.
The Dance of Dialog – Adding interest and sparkle to flat dialog
For God’s Sake, Tell a Joke – Snark, smartassery and sarcasm.
Spicing up the sex – What to do about a love scene that just lies there.
Tear Jerking – Depicting the character’s pain without getting maudlin.
Blood, Sex and Romance -- Giving a fight scene maximum punch
Down in the Dumps – Repairing info dumps.
Fixing a shi**y sentence: How to spot and fix sentences that stop readers in their tracks.
