Guest Blog About Character Development
FEBRUARY 2020
Honored to be asked by editor Karen Aroian to write a guest blog for her site at aroianeditorial.com. I chose to blog about character development in a post called “What’s My Motivation.” This is a light-hearted look with serious suggestions. Check it out here.
Kar
en had provided a high level developmental audit of my first title, Tory Roof. Her input was extremely helpful and her experience, a definite ‘plus.’

How exciting! Our name is now “in lights” at the Fine Arts Theatre Place in Maynard, MA. We’re running 3 flights of pre-show, on-screen ads to let people know about our books and to remind them that books make great gifts. Ads are designed in two versions each month to fit their large and small screens. Fun to see, and nice to be supporting a community business.

We’re excited! Tory Roof is appearing as a “to-be-discovered book” on Reedsy’s Discovery platform. This is a great resource for authors and readers alike — celebrating new work, bringing it to the attention of the public, and giving book enthusiasts an inside scoop.
This week, Tory Roof is being introduced under Historical Fiction. (If the cover image does not appear, simply click “Recent” at the top right)
Readers can enjoy a chapter by clicking through, can follow the author, buy the book, or simply Like it. The more “up votes” an author receives, the better the chance for additional publicity.
So, folks, please give us an Up Vote if you’re so inclined. Here’s a link to my personal Reedsy page if you’d prefer to go there directly. Thanks!
Publishers Weekly indie arm, BookLife, invites authors to submit the first lines of their books for consideration. Each month, they select a few examples that are particularly intriguing.
I’m honored that the opening of Silver Line was chosen for recognition. The content is referenced in the tease, as the editor writes, “This month we’ve got soiled doves, symbolic assassinations, and more.” The book begins this way:
“Let me be perfectly clear. I was never a soiled dove, a lady of the night. I was a dance hall girl, an entertainer — there’s a distinction.” You can read more of the intro in Media Mentions: Excerpts.
In 13 towns west of Boston, Jill C. Baker and Tory Roof are being profiled in Patch, for four days leading up to Patriots Day. This is a state holiday in Massachusetts, celebrated on April 15th this year. Reenactments are scheduled in dozens of communities to commemorate the American Revolution and events leading up to it. On the 19th of each year, at 4:00 in the morning, contemporary Militia & Minutemen march from Wayland and Sudbury to Concord as they did in 1775.
March, 2019 — Always nice to be recognized. Please scroll down to Recent Publications as we introduce Silver Line. Thanks, WW, for the opportunity to be included! For aspiring poets and authors, this is a great place to get the scoop on contests — prizes, deadlines, eligibility — and, maybe most importantly, ranking as to recommended or not. https://winningwriters.com/whats-new/subscriber-news-march-2019
