Thought for the Day: Five Things Not To Say To Authors, with Michael Jecks.

Thought for the Day

"Everybody seems to earn more than you when you're an author. It's a very painful fact but it's true."

~ Michael Jecks, author

Guest Author April - Michael Jecks

 Michael Jecks is a writer of historical mystery novels. Indeed he is known as the master of the medieval murder mystery.

Probably best known for his Knights Templar Mysteries, his latest book is FIELDS OF GLORY,  the first in his new Hundred Years War series, from Simon and Schuster (available in paperback and ebook format), with the second, BLOOD ON THE SAND, coming out in June as a large paperback and ebook.

Why not check out Michael's website for more information? I can also highly recommend the videos he posts weekly on YouTube. In these he not only talks about his books, but also about the nitty gritty business of being a writer, and he has some great pearls of wisdom for anybody wanting to follow in his footsteps.

Michael Jecks: Busy, busy, busy

Things are a bit busy right now, in the lives of Family Green, so over the next few days I'll be handing over the blog to wiser minds than mine and sending you to read their blogs instead.

Today it's the turn of historical crime novelist Michael Jecks, who seems to be juggling about as many different projects as I am at the moment.

Michael Jecks on Modern Books, eBooks and Writing

As I recover from the Sci-Fi Weekender and get back to some proper writing work, for the rest of this week I'm handing my blog over to other blogs, as it were.

Today, I'd like to direct your attention to Michael Jecks' Writerly Witterings, and a blog post in which he talks about modern books, ebooks and the joys of writing.

What we have here is a video of Michael Jecks promoting his latest book King's Gold. However, what I particularly like about it is what he has to say about writer's block at the end.
