TGIF and I have Lindsay Downs for one more day. It's been fun and I hope everyone has enjoyed his visit. The character interviews have been great!
Again, this is the last day to comment and be entered into the giveaway of a $20 GC to Secret Cravings Publishing. Just leave a comment below and at least visit one of Lindsay's social sites and subscribe/follow.
Without further ado, take it away one more time Lindsay.
What’s in a name?
We’re all familiar with the following-
A rose by any
other name is…
Don’t judge a book
by is cover.
Well, here’s another one for you all-
Don’t judge a
person by his or her name.
Being a writer is easy, we’re all writers. Being a published
author is even harder. Being a multi-published author is close to a miracle.
Then add multi-contracts with a publisher and it goes past the realm of
miracle.
Now, be a bestselling author with your debut romance
regency, that’s out of this world.
Oh, I should have told you I’ve got two different contracts
for a total of four regency romantic suspense books. Also, a six book contract
for a contemporary suspense series.
What makes all this even more amazing is…that I’m a man.
Divorced from one wife and my second wife died unexpectedly.
If you haven’t already guessed from reading the posts since
Monday you would have known that. What you might not have realized, is that
Lindsay Downs is my real name.
For several years, I kept the fact I’m a man a secret. Not
because I was ashamed, but I wanted to be known as an author, not a man who’s
an author. Last year with the encouragement of several very close friends on
several internet radio shows, I announced to the world, or so I thought, who I
really was.
My point is, it doesn’t make a difference if you’re a man or
woman, you can write and should write the genre of your choice. Not only that
but in your style and voice.
