Theme Reveal #AtoZChallenge

~ jrvincente ~ 5 Comments

Hello readers!

I am so excited to announce my Theme for the A to Z Blog Challenge!

Last year, I reviewed a book born from the A to Z Challenge by Rebekah Loper called The A-Zs of Worldbuilding: Building a Fictional World From Scratch. I was SO excited to learn how to Worldbuild that I was finally able to put my many thoughts and fantasies into an ideal world where there’s no money, no greed, and lots and lots of kinky sex. Isn’t that what we all want? Maybe not, but especially now, an ideal world sounds pretty damn good.

I’ve finished the first two novels in (what I hope) will be an ongoing series in my new world, and in April, I am going to share with you the A-Z background information about it, as well as excerpts from my novel, which I am in the process of editing now.

I look forward to sharing a little bit of Rebekah’s questions with you (with her permission, of course!), and if you have any interest in Worldbuilding, I encourage you to pick up her book. It’s phenomenal!

New Project!

Many years ago (more than a decade) I started a project where I would go to my local library and choose a random book. I started with an author whose last name started with A and worked my way up.

Unfortunately, I was in college at the time, and I don’t think I made it past B or C, but the idea stuck with me.

More recently, I have thought of attempting to do something like that for the A to Z Blog Challenge, but I don’t think I could manage to do it all in a month, or even in a year to prepare for that one month. Plus, I like to use the Blog Challenge to work on my fiction.

So, what to do… what to do… I’m going to do it on a monthly(ish) basis. I picked up the first book just before the new year, and I am going to pick up the next one tomorrow. The genres will vary wildly, but I think it will be a fun project. Stay tuned for book reviews coming your way!
