Featured Author: Jeffery Deaver

To date, Jeffery Deaver has written thirty-two novels. He is an international, number-one bestselling author whose novels have made just about every list there is to make. His newest release, The Skin Collector, part of his infamous Lincoln Rhyme series, has over four hundred, five-star reviews on Amazon.


His newest novel, Solitude Creek, is releasing May 2015.

At the beginning of 2011, I emailed several well-known authors to ask for their advice about writing. At the time, I was writing the first novel in my Sloane Monroe series, Black Diamond Death. Since then, I've penned five additional novels in the series, one stand-alone, the first in a paranormal suspense series, and a few novellas here and there. I've also been fortunate enough to make the New York Times bestsellers list myself as part of a collaborative effort with the amazing thriller group, The Twelve.

In my humblest of beginnings, Jeffery Deaver was gracious enough to reply to my blog request. giving his advice for new authors. Here's what he had to say:

"I can tell you that I truly look at writing as a business. That means I get up each day and go to work for eight to ten hours, whether I'm in the mood to write or not. I never wait for inspiration. If I did, I would never write anything.

I'd encourage new writers to read as much as possible and write as much as possible. The more we write, the better we become at the craft of writing. Remember not to be discouraged if your work meets with rejection at first, because all writers--even published ones--have work rejected all the time. You just have to keep trying.

Some readers want to know if I plan my books out or if I just start writing. Because my books are so plot-driven, it's important for me to know exactly where I'm going before I begin writing the book itself, so I spend the better part of a year writing a detailed outline that runs hundreds of pages. Creating the outline is the hardest part of the writing process, but the most necessary.

Good luck to all my fellow writers out there!"

All best wishes,
Jeff Deaver

Happy New Year!




Last night I snuggled up in bed with a nice cup of tea on my nightstand and caught up on the new season on Downton Abbey, one of my favorite shows on television. The new season of Celebrity Apprentice also premiered, and I have to admit, I'm addicted to that show. If I was ever going to be on reality TV, that would be the show I would excel at (if it weren't for all the cat fighting and egos among some of the celebrities--which would make my head spin off faster than a ballet dancer doing pirouettes at full speed).

I love the beginning of a new year. After taking time to reflect on what goals I'd like to accomplish, I'm ready to dive in and get 2015 going. I can't tell you how amazing it feels to be back at my desk again! It's really a testament to how much I enjoy my job, although for me, writing is so much more than a job.

Speaking of new beginnings, I've started a new series, so look for book one later this year. I've fleshed out the main character in the series, and I'm happy with what I've come up with so far.

Whenever I begin something new, I always get fan mail asking if I will continue the Sloane Monroe series, and when and if the Addison Lockhart series will continue. The answer is, I'll continue writing them both. I have no intention of ending the Sloane Monroe series at the moment. I'd like to see it continue for years to come. As for the Addison Lockhart paranormal suspense series, there will be at least two additional books in that series before I'll consider it done. Look for book #2 titled Rosecliff Manor Haunting later this year.

At the end of 2014, I finished a stand-alone romantic suspense novel that is currently in negotiations for a book deal, and I hope to see it released later this year as well. Lots of irons in the fire at the moment, just the way I like it!

If you're new to my books, you can see a list of all of my current novels HERE.

And I wish you all the best in 2015!!!

Join My Street Team/Fan Club!

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR JOINING! WE ARE NOW CLOSED AND WILL ADD NEW MEMBERS NEXT SPRING. TO THOSE WHO EMAILED, WE'LL BE IN TOUCH! 



Thank you for your interest in joining Team Bradshaw, my street team/fan club for avid fans of my books. We are now open for new members, but will only take the FIRST 5-10 who sign up for this round. In other words...you better sign up posthaste!

WHAT IS A STREET TEAM?

The Team Bradshaw Street Team is basically a fan club where I offer some really sweet perks to my biggest fans in exchange for their help in spreading the word about my books. Sound like something you'd be interested in? Great! Now let's get to those perks...

WHAT ARE THEY?

For starters, just for joining Team Bradshaw, you'll receive a welcome kit in the mail. By mail, I mean, the snail kind, the one that involves the postman stopping by your house. The kit will include signed bookmarks for you to pass around to anyone you like. You will also receive some really fun author swag for YOU to keep to show my appreciation for becoming part of my team.

And that's not all...!

Exclusive for street team members only, you'll be invited to join a private Facebook team page (for team members ONLY). On the Team Bradshaw Facebook Page you can interact with me personally, ask questions, and be the first to find out about upcoming projects.

And that's not all...!

When new books are released, Team Bradshaw street team members will get the chance to read them FIRST, and most will be gifted to you FREE.

And that's not all...!

As a member of Team Bradshaw you'll want to check your snail mail throughout the year because you never know when you'll receive a little something extra just for being a member of the team. Over the last year team members received books, swag, mugs, calendars, etc. I really like giving back and interacting with my team!

HOW DO I JOIN?

For this round of sign-ups, I'm accepting the first five to ten fans who complete the three following tasks:

1. Read a digital copy of my most recent novel, Hush Now Baby, and leave a review. (You can go ahead and sign up now to get a spot on my street team, but just make sure you've reviewed it within the next ten days). My assistant will check and add you to the team once this is verified, or you can let us know--that's even faster!

You can find all the links on where to purchase by clicking HERE.
(The buttons under the books take you to the different retailers)
(And if you've already read/reviewed it, GREAT! This one is done.)

2. Leave at least one review for any of my other novels that you have read.
(If you have already done this one in the past, just let my assistant know when you sign up which book you reviewed and where).

3. Follow me on Facebook by clicking HERE. And be sure to sign up for my author newsletter as well by clicking HERE


Once you've completed the three tasks above EMAIL ME.

In the subject line write: JOIN TEAM BRADSHAW

In the body of your email, let my assistant, Lily, know what you have done to complete the tasks. Also include your full name and home address for our mailing list and your email address so we can invite you to join our secret team Facebook page.

Once we have filled the slots, I'll mention we are closed for new members at the top of this post and on my Facebook author page, so if you don't see that yet, go ahead and sign up. And if you didn't make it into the street team this month, we'll have sign-ups again in about six months.
Once we've received your email, you'll receive a reply so you know we received it.

READY...SET...GO!!!
