Wicked Wednesday – Psychic Treats and a Prize from Rayna Vause

Have you ever wanted to be able to see into the future and know what was coming down the pike? How about talk to the dead or maybe know who you were in a past life? I have. I’m completely fascination with the paranormal, especially psychics. I love shows like The Dead Zone and Medium. They feed my fascination. I am completely intrigued by all types of psychic phenomena. It has a “what if” factor that really appeals to me and inevitably winds up in my writing in some fashion or another.

At this point, you’re probably wondering who I am and why am I telling you this? As Caridad mentioned, I’m Rayna Vause, guest blogger for the day. I’m the author of the recently released novel, Only in Her Dreams.

Tuesday Tip – Surveys and a call for help!

It occurred to me that it might be good to broaden the fact-finding to include various kinds of multicultural fiction and not just Latino fiction.

Armed with that intent, I’ve developed a survey (click here to access the survey) as a way of allowing you to offer your opinions on the state of multicultural fiction today. As the survey is intended to reflect current publishing trends, I am asking only published authors or those with books that are to be released shortly, to offer their comments on the survey.

As this is my first attempt at a survey of this nature, I also beg your indulgence if it’s lacking in any way.

Here’s a link to the page with the survey: https://www.caridad.com/state-of-multicultural-fiction/

Feel free to share this link with any other authors that you think might be interested in offering their opinion on this topic.

Thanks so much!
