Wearing many hats as writers

By Diana Morgan

For years, I’ve struggled to maintain a consistent blog or newsletter. Between having ADHD and feeling like I have nothing to say, it’s seemed an impossible task. But there is one other thing besides fiction writing I’ve always wanted to do: write media reviews and commentaries.

As writers, we often wear many hats to connect with our readers, we’re selling ourselves as much as our stories. We’re publicists, social media influencers, activists, and so much more. Our jobs are often to sell so much more than just our words. It’s difficult and overwhelming at times. We’re always looking for new ways to connect to our readers and share our passions with the world.

One way I’m doing that this year: I’m launching a Patreon. Regular content includes movie and TV show reviews and a general blog. Eventually, I’ll add paid content, including serial fiction, short stories, and other sneak peeks at my writing.

I’m still hard at work on Lost Colony book 2, now titled, Retributions. Keep reading for a quick teaser or check out my website for further details.

Saving the Colony hasn’t made life easier for Livia Icini. But when a soldier turns up dead, Livia is the prime suspect, and the entire Colony is ready to see her banished. But the murder is just the beginning; an old enemy has found her, and he’s brought the Aveeys with him to bring the universe crashing down around her.

 Jacob Moorland doesn’t care about Livia’s past. He just wants her to run the hospital so he can use his skill as a surgeon to help as many people as possible. When Aveeys attack, he ends up a prisoner to pirates, he has no choice but to adapt and survive in ways he never thought possible.

Revenge is served cold in space.

DIANA MORGAN is a superhero by day, writer by night. Okay, not really, but when she’s not writing books, she’s a librarian at a local library, which is kind of a superhero. Her superpowers include always knowing what kids like to read, being able to read more than 10 books at one time, and the ability to eat more pizza than anyone.

Diana has always loved science fiction and fantasy.  She grew up watching Quantum Leap, Power Rangers and Star Wars. She can’t remember a time when she wasn’t making up stories.

She was a geek before being a geek was cool, and she loves hanging out with other geeks and sharing her love of all things space and magic and books.
