"Behind the Scenes"#6 Interviews, Quotes and Revisions, oh my!

A flurry of stuffs... Interviews, Quotes and... *scary music* Revisions!!

1. I have a comprehensive new interview up at Manic Readers!

2. I have author quotes for DARK NEST from REAL multi-published, award-winning authors!
Thanks, Colby, Isabo!

"Leanna Renee Hieber creates a fantastic new world full of endless possibilities in Dark Nest. Kristov is a hero to die for and Ariadne is a heroine that every reader can relate to. I can't wait to read more of this fascinating world." - award winning author Colby Hodge

"Fabulous read! Once I started I couldn't stop until the very satisfying end!" Isabo Kelly, award-winning author of Marshall's Guard

3. I have vertigo from revisions to my gothic victorian fantasy novel that I'm working my rear off to get published. Here's how I feel:


During massive restructuring of my narrative, shifting around whole chapters like rearranged puzzle pieces, I found that I sort of went into Matrix bullet-time. It was as if the text of my whole book was just scrolling, scrolling, scrolling down the pages of my mind like all those little green numbers... Am I alone here??


Authors? Tell me about your "Highway to the Revision Zone": Do you go to a zen place? Do you go into a tailspin? Anyone else have this matrix feeling? Or an Alice in Wonderland rabbit-hole and you're just ingesting things that say "Eat" and "Drink me" until your book is fabulous? I want to know. Tell me.

When DARK NEST characters sit down for a pint...

Two of my favorite DARK NEST characters, Sergeant Maric North and my heroine, Chief Counsel Ariadne Corinth, have come out to play outside of their novella
at the mysterious POND PUB....

Writers, the Pond Pub may be a neat place for your characters to come out and play too, it was a wonderful way to think outside of the structure of my worldbuilding. Just ask Clover Autrey for an invite.
