To celebrate the Sucker Literary Volume 3 release, the writers, readers, and friends of those who worked on the volume are participating in a blog hop. A huge shout-out to Justine Manzano for tagging me in the hop!
As a reader, I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed these stories. The creativity in this volume is amazing. You are going to love them!
As a writer, I’m thrilled to share something about my own writing process. I’ve been enjoying the posts from other bloggers, and can’t wait to read the ones to come. We are all so similar and yet so unique! I’m convinced that even if two of us had the same pitch or story concept that we’d end up with two completely different stories in the end.
Next up are the three writers I’m tagging! Check them out and get ready for their posts next week!
Charity Tahmaseb has slung corn on the cob for Green Giant and jumped out of airplanes (but not at the same time). She spent twelve years as a Girl Scout and six in the Army; that she wore a green uniform for both may not be a coincidence. These days, she writes fiction (long and short) and works as a technical writer for a software company in St. Paul. Her novel, The Geek Girl’s Guide to Cheerleading (written with co-author Darcy Vance), is a YALSA 2012 Popular Paperback pick in the Get Your Geek On category.  Find her on her blog  and on twitter.
Michelle Mason is a full-time writer focusing mainly on middle grade and young adult fiction, with some freelance PR writing and editing on the side. When she’s not reading or writing, Michelle hangs with her husband and two kids, watches too much TV, cross-stitches, bakes amazing brownies, and plays the violin in her church orchestra. Find her on her blog and on twitter.
Julie “J. C.” Phillipps is an author/illustrator who lives in West Hartford, CT with her husband, son, and an anxious cat that licks the fur off its belly. Her books include Wink: The Ninja Who Wanted to Be Noticed, Monkey Ono, and The Simples Love a Picnic. Julie has a nice hot cup of cocoa every day while she sits down to work. Find her on her blog and on twitter.
Hi Kip!
I also find it very interesting how we all come from such diverse backgrounds with such differing ideas and somehow manage to maintain some common thread that links us together.
I love hearing about what you have in store for us! I want to know more…so I will eagerly await your novel. 😉

Oh, what a cool sounding work in progress! The premise is fascinating.
Your new story sounds wonderful. I love a trace of historical stories that bring a world to life. Looking forward to reading more! And yes, Setting! My second favorite part of the story (Character is my #1).
