IWSG April 2025

 



Welcome readers, writers, authors, and bloggers!

We're glad you're here! It's the First Wednesday of the month; when we celebrate IWSG Day in the form of a blog hop featuring members and guests of the Insecure Writer's Support GroupFounded by author Alex Cavanaugh (Thank you, Captain!) and fostered by like-minded associates, IWSG is a comfortable place to share our views and literary news as we record our journeys. Check out our latest newsletter here.

Our awesome co-hosts this month are:  Jennifer Lane, L Diane Wolfe, Jenni Enzor, and Natalie Aguirre!

The optional question(s) for this month is: What fantasy character would you like to fight, go on a quest with, or have a beer/glass of wine with?

 What a fun question!

Billy Summers (a character in a novel by Stephen King) is a professional hitman who only kills bad guys and is on his last “hit” before his long-awaited retirement. But something feels off about this last assignment, and he tells his boss as much. While Billy is a really nice guy (for a hitman), Nick, his boss, is not. Throughout the story, I was convinced that somebody should follow him around to ensure nothing terrible happened to him.

Myron Bolitar (Protag in a series by Harlan Coben) is a sports agent with a law degree and clients who often require him to acquire detective skills. Yet, he manages to solve mysteries and save his clients and himself with the help of his anti-hero best friend and business partner, Win, who most people tend to dislike on sight for his money and good looks. For Myron, any reason is a reason to celebrate anything with his favorite childhood drink. I could get used to YooHoos :-) 

Poison For Breakfast (Lemony Snicket) This poor guy has a series of uncertain days of soul-searching after receiving a cryptic note under his door one morning. But who eats toast and cheese for breakfast?

 That's all from me today. Happy IWSG Day, and have a wonderful April!
