Writers' Tools of the Trade

Tools of My Trade – Bonus Day! Pic Collage

It’s not because I’m procrastinating and this newest work in progress (WiP) is kicking my ass…much. It’s mostly because I discovered something new last night I love, love, LOVE! I wanted to throw together a quick header for my FB page because I was jealous of some of my fellow authors’ headers. I put away the MAC and booted up the 6 year old, slow as a slug PC (because my only copy of Photoshop lives on the PC).

A good indication about what’s in a book is what research the author does to write it, so for FLANKED (Studs in Spurs, Book 5) I have looked into the following topics… Body Piercing (specifically nipple, clit & hood) Tattoos Marriage License Laws in various states in the US Centrifugal Force in bull riding Building a Tree Stand for deer hunting Shoulder injuries requiring surgery in bull riders Health insurance The sports medicine crew in the arena at bull rides So, does that give you some kind of hint as to what Garret James, the hottie pro bull rider from my Studs in Spurs series, might be up […]
