Interview with Author Heather Harlow

 


1. Give us a brief synopsis of your latest work.
I recently published my first book, a sci-fi romance action-adventure.  It tells about the aliens from the planet Argon who've come to our planet looking for a new home.  They're helping the humans on Earth survive themselves.  In the book, there's been a code breach at the high-tech company Susan has just started working for.  People on her team are being killed and she finds herself having to rely on Christoph, the CEO to protect her.  Little does she know he's the Argon alien commander on Earth.    
My next book will be a continuation of the story and will tell more about the Grogans.  The Argon nemesis from the former universe, Baldacon.
 
2. What got you into writing?
I've always wanted to write books since I started reading them at the age of 10 while on vacation with my family.

3.  What genres do you like to read?
I like to read romance, action adventure, and historical.

4.  What is your process for developing characters? Do you people watch and base characters off of what you see? Or are your characters complete figments of your imagination?  
I believe my characters are complete figments of my imagination.

5.  How much time and effort do you put into marketing?
I put a lot of time into marketing.  Lately, I've been putting 20-30 hours a week into marketing.  However, I really need to write more.

6.  Do you have any works in mind that you've not yet written? If so, what are they?
The Argonians series which are stories about the Argon aliens.  One specifically is The Commander and the Pirate Princess which is about the first integration between Argonians and humans.

7.  If there is one thing that stands out about your writing or your stories, what is it?
It is a bit risque at times and hopefully brutally honest.

8.  What inspired you to write your most recent story?
My friend signed us up for a class about how to write a bestseller in a weekend. 

9.  Where can potential readers find your work?
My book, The Argon Factor, is for sale on Amazon and Kindle eBooks

10. Where can readers connect with you socially online?
Twitter:  @HeatherMHarlow
I also have a Facebook page, Pinterest boards, and I'm on GoodReads; all under my name.

Creating Your Story Title by Mary Deal

Something writers of multiple stories will experience: Titles may come to you in a flash. Some will take a bit of thinking through. Say you’ve written your first and only story thus far. You may feel you have a great title for that one piece of prose. However, caution should be taken due to lack of experience in titles. You can only know how easy or how difficult choosing a title will be after you’ve written a few stories. For the person who writes many stories or many books, again, choosing a title may come easy, or it may be one of the most difficult aspects of writing. Some writers are unable to start a story unless they have a great title lined up. Then, with that title in mind, they set out to write, only to change the title once they see where the plot and characters lead them. Some authors cannot title a story till it’s written and rewritten for the umpteenth time. Then they decide. Whatever your preference, titles are just as important as the overall story itself...

On Writing Chase Scenes

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of  The Frugal Editor,  the winning-est  in her award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers This article is excerpted from some editing I did for a writer of experimental fiction when I was on a Greater Los Angeles Writers Society panel writer of any genre can apply these suggestions to the chase, getaway, or high action scene in your script or manuscript before you send it to an agent or publisher or, better still, while you are writing the first draft.  Sometimes even the most fascinating, interesting and irresistible  detail can slow down the forward movement of your story. So as much as writers are told that detail is important, purge as much as you can from your action scenes and put it somewhere else or dribble it into narrative in other places in your manuscript. In the process, ask yourself if your reader really needs to know the color of the protagonist’s eyes. As important as detail is, ...
