July 2015 Critique Blog Hop

The ever-generous  Michelle has set up a blog-hop for those of us poor souls who did not make it into #NewAgent. Sigh. Always the bridesmaid. And that one time literally, which was embarrassing. But anyway, here we go! My query and first 250 words. Critique away! Carve me a new one, hopefully a better one. QUERY: Dear ____________, I saw __________________, and I hoped you might consider THE MARVELOUS ADVENTURES OF GWENDOLYN GRAY, an Upper MG Fantasy. Twelve-year-old misfit Gwendolyn Gray has an overactive imagination. It causes her no end of trouble in The City, where creativity is simply not allowed.

ENGLAND: Day 7+8-Last Call!

New Author Pictures and Bio

Things are heating up here at stately Williamson manor. The new author head-shots are in, courtesy of And y at Andrew Hoffman - Scheer Hoffman Creative. A huge thanks to him for all his hard work on these, I could not BE more pleased with them. And a new author bio to go with it! B. A. Williamson is a proud Gryffindor and the overly caffeinated writer of The Marvelous Adventures of Gwendolyn Gray . When not doing battle with the demons in the typewriter, he can be found wandering Indianapolis with his family, singing in a tuxedo, or taming middle-schoolers. He is a recipient of the Eli Lilly Teacher Creativity Fellowship. Please direct all complaints and your darkest secrets to @BAWrites on social media, or visit gwendolyngray.com.
