ERIN BEATY
Erin Beaty was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, which means she can't drive a tractor, but she won't eat veggies that come from a can. She graduated from the US Naval Academy with a degree in rocket science and somehow always ended up writing her study group's lab reports. After serving in the fleet as a weapons officer and a leadership instructor, it still amazes her when other people want to hear the stories that come out of her head. She is the author of the Traitor's Circle Trilogy (The Traitor's Kiss, The Traitor's Ruin, The Traitor's Kingdom).
She and her husband have five children, two cats, and a vegetable garden and live wherever the navy tells them to go.

ReplyDeleteWow- all this talent in one spot! And all so generous with their time and expertise- thank you, one and all! But I do have a question. It just dawned on me that the MS I finished entirely rewriting last month is one I've been working on for years (like 14?) and entered in a previous contest under a different title maybe 8 or 10 years ago. Maybe more- how long have you been doing this? ;) I had to sideline everything to concentrate on getting well; the original MS was basically to teach myself to read and write again and I didn't want to lose the story line the illness gave me (when one is given lemons, make lemonade. When one is given mold hallucinations, write a novel!) Rereading it, it totally sucked. No way was it ready for anyone to read, much less publication! But being me, I had to have a goal, even if it was to write a sucky novel while healing. :) So while it's the same premise, it's an entirely different novel. But I did technically use it before, so if you rule no, I completely understand. It's up to you, and I'll enjoy the contest either way.
ReplyDeleteOh, honey, you can totally use it. It's been WAY long. And, like you said, it's a totally different novel! I had those rules in place back when I was doing almost-constant contests, and I had to make sure that the same excerpts didn't keep recycling. Not so much of a problem anymore!
DeleteBy all means, enter. And I'm glad you're doing better!
Thank you so much! I didn't want to be a hog, so I thought I'd better ask. Now it's up to the bot!
ReplyDeleteI want to add that even though I'm a writer, I cannot find the words to express what your blog has meant to me for all these years. It's been a lifeline, giving me hope, joy, and lots of laughs. I've enjoyed helping others (if my remarks actually help) and honing my craft, and I love watching other writers succeed. You created a positive, loving community, of which you should be proud!
And we are proud of you! I can't wait to read your exciting new novel!!! And I so have a picture idea for it!!!
DJ, I can't express how much your words mean to me. (Words of affirmation is my Love Language, which makes it even...bigger.)
DeleteThank you so much. And yes, trust that your remarks have helped others. Sometimes we never see the fruit of what we've offered, but rest assured it's there.
I also might be squeeing internally because you have a picture idea... :)
