Woo-hoo! Here I Am!

Posted on November 10, 2013November 9, 2013 by Carla Swafford, Author

Lately, I’ve been thinking about that episode in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV) where a girl has been ignored by everyone especially her classmates to the point she disappeared. That’s how I feel recently. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve waved my hand (almost figuratively) and been looked over.

As a writer, I do lots of positive things for attention, hoping that people will remember my name and maybe, just maybe, buy my books. I won’t go into details because it’s really so silly.

Okay. Pity party over. (No need to slap me.)

I came across this today and whoever did it, did an excellent job. Plus after reading so many Jeaniene Frost books this year, I’m reminded where she got the idea for Bones. Love it! Enjoy!

Yesterday, I had to drive through downtown Birmingham to avoid a horrible back up on the interstate. As I’m driving along, trying to avoid as many red lights as I can, low and behold what do I pass on the side of the street? A Maserati!

I swear I physically got excited. Why I love that type of car so much, I have no idea at all. They just ring my bell. Here’s a picture of it. *sigh* If I had stopped, I swear I would’ve licked it.

My Books, Odd Observation

Writing A Real Book

Posted on October 15, 2013October 15, 2013 by Carla Swafford, Author

The other day people were commenting (loop or Facebook) of how people they know and some strangers would come up to them and ask when they plan to write a real book. Or ask, why do they write filth?

Really? 0~o Huh?

My books are real and have three-dimensional characters. Besides, why is good sex filthy? Well, if you do it in a mud puddle because you couldn’t wait to get somewhere more convenient, you would end up dirty. Good for you!

I’ve never had anyone to ask me those questions. Truthfully, I’m not a scary person but I’m known for being blunt. But even I respect people’s choices in what they write or the job they hold. There are times I’m speechless when people are rude.

If a person had the guts to ask me, I believe I would laugh in their face.

Really.
