Word Clouds: How to Turn Your Books Into Art
How to Turn Your Books Into Art I’ve had a lot of fun playing with word clouds on a website called Tagul. It’s pretty easy to turn your book into art for your readers, and it doubles as an editing tool by letting you see how many times you’re using those pesky repetitive words, such as always, like, and very. Here’s How it Works Once you finish your manuscript, open the website and click create. Import your text where it says “words” and scan through the list. The program automatically eliminates apostrophes so you’ll have to manually delete all the …

Tiger’s Quest Quotes
Tiger’s Quest Quotes Why was grandfather allowing Kelsey to leave? She was the chosen one after all. It surprised me that the prince allowed it. #Nilima I watched the sky. The plane taking Kelsey to the other side of the world passed overhead. How did Ren mess this up so badly? #Kishan I too was saddened to see her go, but now that she had it was time to give the princes a crash course on living in the modern world. #MrKadam Running through the trees I raced alongside the car and then stayed hidden in the treeline as she …

Happy Valentine’s Day
Roses are red, violets are blue . . . we’ve all heard and most likely written one or two of these poems for a past valentine. Since most of you may be busy celebrating with your friends and loved ones today, I’d like to keep this post simple, sickly sweet, and utterly romantic! For those of you who love romance, I thought we could refresh our minds to that special night when Ren asked Kelsey out for their first Valentines date ever (from Tiger’s Quest). Leading up to this romantically unparalleled Valentines date, Ren and Kelsey were officially and …
Tiger’s Quest Deleted Scene Lhasa Apsos
This is a short scene that was cut about the Lhasa Apsos in Tibet. It was fun research but ultimately didn’t add anything to the story. Chapter 14 Yin/Yang Mr. Kadam had been unable to secure a meeting with the Dalai Lama himself but had scheduled a meeting with his Tibetan office. He was frustrated because he didn’t want to reveal more details than were necessary with the staff and his vagueness didn’t seem urgent enough for them to bother His Holiness. Our appointment with the office staff was set for Monday which gave us three days to cool our …
Tiger’s Quest Deleted Scene-Ren & Kelsey in Oregon
Tiger’s Quest Deleted Scene-Ren & Kelsey in Oregon I really loved exploring Ren’s and Kelsey’s relationship right after she made her decision to finally be with him. Ultimately my editor thought I put in too many scenes of them enjoying their time together and several scenes were either cut or moved. Here is one of my favorite chapters in the series. This is from what was originally chapter 8 in Tiger’s Quest titled “Kishan.” “Unfortunately, my time is almost gone for today. So we’ll have to save our poem study for tomorrow.” I clutched his hand, “Will you still …
Tiger’s Quest Deleted Scene-Rules for Courtship
Tiger’s Quest Deleted Scene-Rules for Courtship This deleted segment was one I went back and forth with my editor on. Ultimately it was changed to the version it is now. This is how the scene went in the self-published Tiger’s Quest. It’s from chapter 6 & 7. She squeezed my arm, “Your Ren is wonderful. And absolutely yummy. I can see why you had a hard time letting him go. If I were a couple of years younger and wasn’t happily married, I’d lock him up with me and swallow the key. What are you going to do?” “Ren …
