Blog postThis post is an adaptation of the Eulogy I wrote for my grandmother.My grandmother was a tiny woman who could make the devil cower in the corner. She raised five children, five step-children, and helped to raise too many grandchildren to count.Eulogies generally start out with, "She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother." We've heard it so many times it means next to nothing. While my grandmother was all of these things, she was so much more.My Gram taught me to sew and helpe

Blog post*Originally posted on Infinite House of Books http://www.house-of-books.comIB: What initially got you interested in writing?KMH: In my previous career, I wrote technical documents, training materials, and grants. Before that, I wrote really bad poetry and short stories. I’ve always been fascinated with what makes people do the things they do, and how they react in unthinkable situations. Getting some life experience under my belt helped me gain the courage to really dive into wr

Blog postWhen I woke this morning, I thought I’d dreamt the heartbreaking events of yesterday. The reprieve from my grief lasted only a moment before reality crushed my hope.My dear friend, Deborah Osment, passed away. It breaks my heart to think of such a tender spirit dying alone in her apartment, but I pray she has found the peace that eluded her most of her life.For those of you who don’t know, Deb and I worked together for a little over two years. She had a hand in each of my novels, proofread my bl

Blog postBorn and raised in the south. I learned some valuable lessons.1. When your grandmother sends you outside to pick a switch, don’t choose one that’ll break. She’ll be even madder if she has to go get one herself.2. In the summer, keep your flip-flops on until you reach the wet sand or you’ll burn your feet.3. “Fixinta” is a verb warning of intention to take action, usually involving cooking or opening a can of whoop-*ss. Examples: “I’m fixinta make supper.” “I’m fixinta send y

Blog postMe & my Uncle CharlieI had no idea what I signed up for when I decided to write these stories in which some of the characters and parts of the story come from my childhood memories.To protect the guilty, or to maintain some mystery, I won’t tell you which of the events are true. Instead, I’d like to share the inspiration for three of my characters. Most people have experienced the loss of a beloved grandparent or family member. We remember bits and pieces of events and fill in the gaps with

Blog postHi, I’m Kathryn M. Hearst, or Kate, and the author of “Twelve Spirits of Christmas,” Book 2 in the Tessa Lamar Novels, a paranormal romance series with a Southern twist. I’m also a self-proclaimed nerd. When the Harts asked me to write a post about what it means to be an author nerd, I didn’t know where to begin. So much of what makes me, me, is off-the-wall. So, I did what any nerdy author would do, researched it.Merriam-Webster defines a nerd as, “an unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept

Blog postI was born and raised in rural Florida—think down-home country, not Metro-Miami. I have a soft spot for honest to goodness Southern men. I don’t know if there’s something in the water, or it’s because these boys were raised by Southern women, but these men walk the line between perfect gentlemen and alpha males. Walk the line, get it? Johnny Cash?Southern men know how to rock a pair of jeans. Whether they’re old and faded or crisp and new, jeans should fit a man’s backside like a second skin, no

Blog postReaders often ask me, “Are the characters in your books vampires?”Early on, the question surprised me, though it shouldn’t have. I started writing “Feast of the Epiphany” as a vampire novel years ago and put it away in favor of being an adult. Needless to say, the adult thing didn’t stick. When I decided to rewrite the manuscript, I’d received a ton of feedback that the market was saturated with paranormal romance and urban fantasy. Some went so far as to say the genres were dead.I refused to be

Blog postI started writing “Feast of the Epiphany” with the intention of writing a vampire novel. Life happened, and I set the manuscript aside for almost a decade. By the time I returned to it, vampire novels had saturated the market. I had agents telling me that paranormal romance and urban fantasy were dying genres.I refused to believe that human beings had turned their backs on creatures that have haunted us since the beginning of time or, at least, since the beginning of recorded history. I did what

Blog postWriting the dedication is one of the most difficult parts of writing a book. The two sentence dedication in “Feast of Mercy” took over a week of tweaking before a friend told me to leave it alone.“For Tony, who taught me to trust my wings. I miss you.”My main male character in “Feast of Mercy” is Nick King. We first meet Nick in the first book of the series. He’s human, cocky, and sexy. Gia describes him as, “sex on two legs.” Nick’s the kind of guy we all love to fantasize over. He’s rich, educ

Blog postAs a new author, I struggled to find a creative process that worked for me. If you believe books on writing, blog posts, and other authors, there are two kinds of writers: plotters and pantsers. I’m an unapologetic pantser—sort of. When I set out to write “Feast of the Epiphany,” I knew it would take several books to tell the story. I didn’t bother to plan out the first book. I wrote, and wrote, and wrote. Originally, the book was told from six different point of view characters by rotatin

Blog postI sat on one side of the conference table, facing my son’s teacher, principal, school counselor, and a school district representative. A grown woman, healthcare executive, and mother of three, I felt like a third grader sent to the principal’s office for pulling the fire alarm. In a way, I’d done just that.“Mrs. Hearst, we understand what you are saying, but unless you tell us the name of the child there is nothing we can do.” I knew the name of the kid bullying my son, but I ha

Blog postWhat a wonderful surprise. Despite finishing grad school with a ton of English Language credits, I did not immediately recognize the word “Cocytus.” In fact, I’m still not one hundred percent sure I could pronounce it. The light bulb went on at the beginning of chapter one and the quotes from Dante’s Inferno. Cocytus is the lake in the lowest pit of hell. By the middle of the first chapter I was hooked. I lived in the same area of Western New York as the story opened, Fort Drum. My hubby was a m
