1. Put Your Setting to Work by C.C. Hunter

We're thrilled to welcome New York Times Best Selling Author C.C. Hunter to the blog today. She's here to share with us some wonderful insight into how to fully utilize your setting. Be sure to check below for her upcoming release in the Shadow Falls series: Unspoken!

Put Your Setting to Work: A Craft of Writing Post by C.C. Hunter


Setting. It’s just things, just the backdrop, just descriptions to prevent the reader from feeling like they are in a blank room, right? Wrong. If you aren’t putting your setting to work, then you are missing out on a great opportunity to add layers of richness to your work.

Where we are and what surrounds us helps define who we are. The same goes for your characters. Setting shows character. Our homes are supposed to be decorated in a way that expresses our unique style and personality. For sure, it expresses our incomes. What does your character’s home say about them? The clothes we wear are reflections of our personalities and even our moods. What do your heroine’s clothes say about her?

Let’s say you are writing a scene, and you show your character sitting down at a table, and she pushes something aside to make room for her glass of tea. Wait, is she drinking tea, or is she drinking a beer? Or is it hot green tea with a touch of mint? Or is it a glass of expensive red wine? Maybe a glass of wine that she just poured out of a box container? Or is it a Mason jar filled to the brim with Jack Daniels? Now, what does she push aside to make room for this drink? Is it her to-do list? Her Smartphone that her job requires she keep close at all times? Is it a stack of unpaid bills? A stack of romance novels? A gardening magazine? A magazine article on how to please a man in bed? Pictures of the cruise she just returned from? Her unsigned divorce papers? An unopened letter from her mother she hasn’t heard from in twenty years? Or is it a Colt .45?

2. Day 12: Month-Long-Anniversary-Celebration featuring C.C. Hunter ( Author Interview + Author Donated Giveaway)

Hello Ms. C.C. Hunter. Welcome to Bookshelf Confessions. It's a pleasure to have you today. I still can’t believe that I have you for an interview in my bloggoversary despite your busy schedule :) Thank you so much for this. I've been lucky to read Whispers at Moonrise. Truly, the Shadow Falls series is one-of-a-kind, how would you describe it to someone who hasn't read any of the books from the said series? CC: Hmm . . . Well, I’d probably tell them that my story is...

3. Awake at Dawn (Shadow Falls #2)

I was super excited when I received this book to review. I enjoyed the first book and was really looking forward to more of Kylie's story. I can honestly say that this is a great sequel to the first book. The book leaves off just about where the first one ended. Kylie still has ghosts visiting her, and her roommates are still arguing with each other, pretty much everything is the same. Kylie and her "boyfriend" Derek are becoming closer, but she can't get Lucas out of her head.  To read more of my review, click here.
