Excerpt:

(Reuters) – It’s no secret that good storytelling involves characters who are in opposition to generate controversy — but author Christine Rose has taken this a step further by developing an opposing second identity as O.M. Grey.

Grey is author of the sexy, paranormal “Avalon Revisited” steampunk novel about English King Henry VIII’s brother Arthur, who is depicted as a vampire. Grey also has a steampunk persona in real life, with a multimedia blog that offers candid advice on romantic and erotic troubles.

The entrepreneurial Rose, however, is the author of “Publishing and Marketing Realities for the Emerging Author,” and co-author with husband Ethan Rose of the “Rowan of the Wood” young adult fantasy series, which won the 2009 Indie Excellence Award for Young Adult Fiction.

“I’ve learned what works and what doesn’t,” Grey said.

“I’m able to compare that with my other persona, Christine Rose. As Christine Rose I take a more traditional route. I’ve seen a lot more success with Olivia (O.M. Grey).”

Emerging Author Spotlight: Evelyn Lafont

With some luck, and perhaps copious amounts of chocolate and coffee (perhaps even some vodka), I will have a new independent author to spotlight every Wednesday for Twitter’s #WW #WriterWednesdays.

I’d like to start this weekly tradition off with a really fun author I met via Twitter: Evelyn Lafont, the KeyboardHussy.

Evelyn’s first novella, Vampire Relationship Guide, Vol. 1: Meeting & Mating, will be available via Amazon and Smashwords TOMORROW! (March 31st). Be sure to pick up your copy!

Who is the Keyboard Hussy? (from her blog)

By day, I’m a mild-mannered, self-employed freelance writer. By night, well, I’m actually still the same thing but I switch to writing fiction instead of freelance stuff. I’m obsessed with the written word. I read all kinds of books—though post-apocalyptic zombie novels and paranormal romances are my favorite.
