Arthur Rackham(1867-1939) My, what a long overdue post this is. If you did not know, my original plan was to be done with Pick a Card in May 2022; but due to the expanding lengths of the books and a few cover artist changes, Alice ended up taking over a year to complete, and became … Continue reading Pick a Card: Post Mortem
Hello Readers, it's me, B. A. Lovejoy; purveyor of kissing books and I'm guessing that if you're here, you're probably here for a sneak peek at the nonfinalized prologue of my newest series. Well, I'm going to put that at the bottom of this post largely so I can pretend that you read it, and … Continue reading New Year, (Hopefully) New Me.
Hello, dear reader; Did you know that it is the end of the year? Did you also know that the final book in Alice: Pick a Card released this month and is available in paperback? Did you also know that I, B. A. Lovejoy, am an author who writes other things and has recently moved … Continue reading The Polls Post

So, to start off, we're going to address the two major elephants in the room. One, I have covid. Right now. As I … Continue reading The Joker’s Last Laugh, Covid, and the Year Moving Forward.
Hello Readers and welcome back to my blog; we're going to start today with a note on review copies and then go into talking about the Prison of Hearts immediately afterwards. So if you've been here for a while, you likely know that I do review copies through Booksirens because I've had previous books leaked … Continue reading Talking about the Prison of Hearts (Review Copies, Spoilers, and That Scene)
When I originally planned to drop these chapters, they were completely different. I've said it before and I'll say it again, a lot has happened the past few months, and I had to rewrite a lot of this book because it no longer felt appropriate. A lot of how a book is received often has … Continue reading Alice, Haldia, Serials, and Some Little Business tidbits.
So, a strangely large number of people follow my blog because I also talk about the writing process a good deal, and I'm slightly entertaining, which is interesting to me because I'm a mess, but... I feel like I should always post a disclaimer or something that blog posts get worked on for me during … Continue reading Cutting Scenes, Making Revisions, and Other Hard Things in Writing, With Examples from Pick a Card

Otherwise known as a very long, overly detailed post about my processes and me speaking just a little bit about how it actually is being a fulltime writer. Hello, it's me, Bethany Anne Lovejoy. You might have forgotten about me in the time since I've been away, but here's a few notes about me: I … Continue reading Talking Alice in the Prison of Hearts, NanoWrimo, Writing with ADHD, and the Realities of Writing Full Time
Hello readers! What a good few months it's been! I was never actually planning on making a post mortem post for Spades after it released, instead I was planning on posting a bunch of my world building notes-- starting with a list of historical figures and events that inspired things in Wonderland. That post is … Continue reading The Future of Pick a Card, and More on Alice in the Palace of Spades — Out now!
