What readers may not understand, and I fell fowl of this before I became a writer, is how much work goes into writing one book. I've spent the last three years writing, rewriting, editing, publishing and editing again, Long Lost. I have six versions of my book and have edited it three times since it was published. So I hope everyone will realise, and I will certainly be more appreciative, of the love sweat toil and many tears that go into writing a novel people will fall in love with.

Today on AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT FRIDAY!.... Sonja Myburgh
Can you tell us a little about yourself?
My name is Sonja L Myburgh and I'm a 29 year old crazy Sagittarius, living in South Africa with my wonderful husband Mark. I'm a full time hairst...ylist, but I write as much as possible. I am a complete history nerd and I love researching almost as much as I love writing!
Can you tell us about your newest book?
I have just completed book #2 of a two part series called If You Only Knew. Book #1 is already out on Amazon. It tells the story of two people that are so right for each other that it would be wrong if they weren't together. There's only one catch, they're both married to their respective spouses... It's a slightly naughtier story of love, extra-marital affairs and two people who, under no circumstances, could stay away from each other. There are some steamy scenes, but the book doesn't rely solely on those scenes, still it is rated Over 18, due to the sexual scenes and the strong language. If You Only Knew: #2 will be released on 17 July, and as I mentioned before, If You Only Knew: #1 is already available at Amazon, in both paperback, and e-book format
Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I think the most important thing is to never give up! Never let anyone make you feel like you can't do it, never let anyone discourage you, because in the end, not everyone is going to like what you write. Be true to yourself; write about what makes you happy, what inspires you, what stirs you from the inside. Readers can feel when a writer puts their soul into a novel, so do it! Also, it's a tough world, so perseverance is key, so keep writing!

Today on AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT FRIDAY!!... Scott Borgman!
Tell us a little about yourself?
Currently I live in central Wisconsin with my wife Nyki, our three kids, our little kitty Aimee, and our loveable dog Jaena (who tends to be the reaso...n I have so many all-night writing sessions since she likes to take up my ENTIRE side of the bed!). I've loved to write since I was a child, but a few years ago I decided to make writing more than just a hobby. I can't explain it any better than to say that writing has become my passion. It's not just a hobby for me. I love to write, and having readers take time out of their day and allow me to be their storyteller is such an honor, I cannot thank them enough. I am always so pleased to get emails from my readers, so if anyone would like to get in touch with me, please don't hesitate! My email is snborgman@yahoo.com
I have a trilogy of novels, my Exiled trilogy, which is a blend of modern day beliefs, mythology, and I suppose even some fantasy within it. It's always hard to describe them *laugh*. I also have a short collection of poetry, as well as a short recounting of how I came to be where I am today on Smashwords. But my main focus is the fantasy genre... magic and dragons type fantasy.
Tell us about your newest book?
Well, as I said before, my genre of choice is fantasy. My first book that really planted my feet in the genre is titled 'Province of a Thief.' Because my focus is going to that genre, Province is available exclusively through http://www.amazon.com/, as will be the follow-ups. I realized after I had finished Province that the world I had created, and the characters... well, I didn't want to say goodbye to them, to be honest. So I am currently editing the follow-up to Province, which I am hoping to get out sometime in July 2014.
As for this one, which is titled Darkness and Dragons, it is actually Volume I of what will be a two volume set. It takes places a few years after Province, and has many of the characters from that book making a return, as well as introducing new characters. The storyline behind D&D is that a new threat has risen up in the southern part of the world, and is bent on conquering the entire world. Dragons have returned to the world, and there seems to be no way to stop them.
Besides the threat of the dragons, there is a rebellion in the Province, dwarves and humans that must rekindle an old alliance, Shadow Walkers that must undertake their own seemingly impossible quest, amazing magical spells that are cast, stunning displays of swordplay... the list could go on
Darkness and Dragons is by far my biggest undertaking yet, and I'm really excited to have it so close to publication. I've been a bit lax lately on my Author page since I've been busy editing, but I try to keep updates coming at least once a week. You can find that here: www.facebook.com/saborgman. Feel free to give it a like
Any tips for aspiring writers?
I think the best advice I could give would be that first and foremost, believe in yourself. If you really want to write, then the only person that will ever stop you from doing it is yourself. Write with your heart as much as your head. And write for you. I think most of us can attest that as authors, we are probably more critical of our own work than anyone else. And remember: We're storytellers. We're entertainers. We're magicians that create images in our readers' minds using nothing more than words. Our sole purpose is to weave a story with words that brings out the emotions of the reader. I don't believe our job is easy... in fact, it's very difficult. But I think it's also one of the most rewarding jobs in the world.
