On my blog today, an upcoming author lists five of the authors who most influenced her. I'm obviously one of them! And no prizes for guessing the identity of another, based on the photo! But who are the other four??? Click here to find out: @rebauthor1

I’ve now heard three times that having a high social media presence is really important to literary agents and publishers, I joined Twitter 2015 and had no idea, now I have more than 20,000 followers, so, any writers need help, let me know and I will help however I can #amwriting
