CI = Character Interview, not Confidential Informant. 🙂 Welcome to the world of Claire Davis, side-kick of Melanie Hogan in the Melanie Hogan Cozy Mysteries, and co-owner of Melanie's hair salon, A Cut Above. Can you provide a physical description of yourself? Hmmm…that’s kind of awkward. Let’s see…I’m taller than Melanie, but that doesn’t… Continue reading CI – Claire Davis

And in the Beginning…
For those who have read my bio, you know my writing years began at the tender age of four. I took my fat little crayons in my fat little fingers and decided to experiment with words on the knotty pine walls of the living room. My parents were not impressed! But even back then, I… Continue reading And in the Beginning…
Mining for Ideas
I’m confident that everyone who writes has been asked on more than one occasion, “Where do you get your ideas?” Even when I expect it, that question always makes me freeze. When I finally thaw, I hem and haw, shift from one foot to the other, scrunch my face, followed by a long exhale…you would… Continue reading Mining for Ideas
Traditional Publishing vs. Indie Publishing
Indie publishing used to hold a certain stigma, but that’s no longer so. It’s become more widely recognized as a legitimate publishing option, and rightly so, as there’s a lot of work that goes into it. An indie author doesn’t just throw words on the page and hit “publish.” Well, they shouldn’t anyway. Not if… Continue reading Traditional Publishing vs. Indie Publishing
Book Signing
This Saturday, September 5th, 1:00-3:00, I'm scheduled for a book signing at Welcome to the Bookstore. For those in the area, I would love to see you there! For those who aren't in the area, your positive thoughts and prayers would be immensely appreciated. I love people, I really do, and I'm always up for good conversation… Continue reading Book Signing
Productive Thinking
When I'm running or biking is when ideas for new work, or my work in progress, flows. It's then that life seems to teach me what it wants me to learn, and when my thoughts are somewhat productive. Not only does running and biking exercise my body, but my mind as well. This morning I was listening… Continue reading Productive Thinking
Goodreads Giveaway
I've decided to become more active with Goodreads, "the" social networking site for bibliophiles. I've had an author page since my book was published last June, but I never took the time to do anything with it. In taking a tour of all Goodreads has to offer, I am so impressed! What a beautiful way to support… Continue reading Goodreads Giveaway
Back from the Land of NaNo
I'm back from the land of NaNoWriMo 2014. And what a trip is was! I'm already looking forward to Camp NaNo in July. There's something about knowing your part of a tribe of writers from all over the world that are all together in this journey of reaching the destination of 50,000 words in a month that creates… Continue reading Back from the Land of NaNo
T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
My top three for the week: 3.) An out-of-the-blue phone call from a childhood friend who now lives in Montana. What fun to catch up! 2.) My shipment of books arriving yesterday! Oh for the excitement! 🙂 1.) My son and his wife asking me to be a witness to their marriage. What an honor!… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
Vacation Highlight
Last week I disappeared off of the blog radar for a spell while I went on vacation. When I went back to work this past Monday I had three people ask me what the highlight of my vacation was. The same answer to all three people resulted in the same response from all three. Clearly these… Continue reading Vacation Highlight
