Writing With Your Muse
A Guide
to Creative Inspiration
A
spiritual guide of creativity by critically acclaimed author,
W.L.
HAWKIN
Released and published
by Bluehaven Press!
The book will be available worldwide in digital
and print January 2024
Writing with your Muse offers techniques, strategies, tools, tips, and stories to help you tap into creative inspiration. You don’t have to be psychic to be successful with these techniques, although that natural ability exists in all of us, and these techniques will help you develop your sixth sense. There’s even science to back it up. This book will help you if you hear words or see images but find it difficult to get the text on the page, you’ve written and published but are searching for something fresh and different, you have ideas but don’t know how or where to begin, you want to write but have no ideas, or you’re suffering from a bad case of writer's block.
This
book is a must for writers searching for new ideas and methods to release their
creative energy. Hawkin is refreshingly honest about her own experiences,
establishing her expertise with gentle humor and humility. The book is packed
with options and ideas to encourage writers to explore their own inner
spiritual and creative sides. If writing is a journey, then Hawkin is the
perfect guide to its unexplored and untamed reaches: inspiring, forthright, and
inventive.” Marie Powell, author of The Last of the Gifted series
“I’m so thankful Hawkin wrote this unique and beautiful
writing book. It is, at once, a craft tool and a spiritual journey guided by a
skillful, compassionate mentor. Hawkin’s gentle approach to teaching (she's a
former academic and teacher) makes this stand out from other writing craft
books.” Sionnach Wintergreen, author of Men of the Shadows series
MORE FROM W.L. HAWKIN:
“From Iron Age Ireland to modern-day Vancouver, Hawkin takes readers on a wild ride fueled by love, revenge, and ecstasy ... a tall, sexy drink of satisfaction.”—JP MCLEAN, DARK DREAMS SERIES
“Great characters that are incredibly well-built. A depth of emotional
description that will surprise you. Drama, lots of drama. A connection with
Nature that will have you looking around with new eyes. Great erotic scenes of
intimacy, many of which aren’t even “sexual” per se.”—JULIO CARLOS,
SCRIBBLE’S WORTH
“This story reads like a journey, and one with exactly the kinds of
people you’d want to be on an epic adventure with—complex, intriguing, and with
enough nuance and contradiction to, like the plot itself, add a frisson of
unpredictability at interesting moments.”—JUNIPER GREER-ASHE
ABOUT W.L. HAWKIN :
W. L. Hawkin writes the kind of
books she loves to read from her home in the Pacific Northwest. Because she’s a
genre-blender, you might find crime, mystery, romance, suspense, fantasy,
adventure, and even time travel, interwoven in her stories.
If you like “myth, magic, and
mayhem” her Hollystone Mysteries feature a coven of West Coast witches who
solve murders using ritual magic and a little help from the gods. The books—To
Charm a Killer, To Sleep with Stones, To Render a Raven, To Kill a
King, and To Dance with Destiny—follow Estrada, a free-spirited,
bisexual magician and coven high priest as he endeavors to save his family and
friends while sorting through his own personal issues.
Her standalone novel, Lure:
Jesse & Hawk (2022) won a National Indie Excellence Award, a Gold
Reader's Choice award from Connections E-magazine, a Crowned Heart
Review from InD’tale Magazine, and placed as a finalist in
The UK Wishing Shelf Book Awards. Lure is a small-town romantic suspense story
set on a Chippewa Reservation in the American Midwest near the fictional town
of Lure River.
As an intuitive writer, Wendy
captures what she sees and hears on the page, and allows her muses to guide her
through the creative process. In her newest book, Writing with your Muse: a
Guide to Creative Inspiration, she explains her writing process and offers
tips and techniques to help writers get their words on the page.
Wendy needs to feel the energy of
the land so, although she’s an introvert, in each book her characters go on a
journey where she’s traveled herself.
If you don’t find her at Blue Haven Press, she’s out wandering the woods or beaches of Vancouver Island with her beautiful yellow dog.
